topcityhockey 5 Posted August 27, 2014 That WSU logo is atrocious. As a Shocker I thank the powers that be that they decided against that thing. Looks like Harley Davidson was going to start making bread. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt 3,653 Posted August 27, 2014 The Nats almost wore these hats in 2005Some more about it from Uni-watch a few years ago: http://www.uni-watch.com/2010/08/12/its-in-the-bags/ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leopard88 3,197 Posted August 27, 2014 The hats are great (especially the navy one), but I always hated the beveled, partially arched wordmark.Beyond that, the cap W doesn't match the wordmark W. There still would have been a mismatch between the cap and uniform, just a different one than the one that actually occurred,EDIT -- The wordmark looks better in this image than it ever did on a jersey. Still not good . . . but at least passable. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBubba 788 Posted August 27, 2014 This is the original prototype of the Devil Rays. The only difference in the rainbow stripe and the numbering in the back is white instead of blackGood Lord, check out that NOB. Who the hell thought that two outlines - with the second, thicker one being the same as the base colour - was a good idea? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOldRoman 1,292 Posted August 28, 2014 The second outline might be the same width as the black outline. It could just be distortion in the picture.As for who has two outlines? The White Sox on their black alts. They have the same issue as you see with the D and R above - the negative space completely fills in on several of the letters. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldRamsFan 103 Posted August 28, 2014 When the Rams did their new uniforms reveal in 2000, they modeled blue pants with gold tapered stripes. They were never used. The white set with gold tapered stripes were used once or twice in preseason. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The white set with gold tapered stripes were used once or twice in preseason.WOW. I never thought those actually existed. When I bought NFL Fever for the original xbox the Rams wore those pants in the game and it bothered me to no end because they never actually wore them in real life. I always just thought the game developers either botched it or they got an early draft of the new uniforms and the Rams changed their mind last minute. But I guess they actually did see the light of day.Huh. I hated them in game but they're pretty tame by today's horrible standards. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AHcreative 505 Posted August 28, 2014 Interesting, I have never seen those Rams uniforms before. Didn't the early designs feature block numbers, though? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tohasbo 649 Posted August 28, 2014 Interesting, I have never seen those Rams uniforms before. Didn't the early designs feature block numbers, though?I'm pretty sure they did that. I think it may have been only for the 2000 season but I'm not sure. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceCap 22,591 Posted August 28, 2014 The story I heard was that Mike Martz ditched the pants because the stripes reminded him of pirate swords and the Rams and Bucs had a rivalry at the time. Not sure if there's much truth to that, but Martz IS kind of an idiot so you never know. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it may have been only for the 2000 season but I'm not sure.It was weird. The on field jerseys had a block font (kind of a cross between std block and champion - similar to new Stl Blues font) but the replicas had the custom numerals that wouldn't appear on field for another season. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was in an interview. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sodboy13 5,763 Posted August 28, 2014 So the Rams had the custom numerals for the unveil and the preseason, went to block numbers for the regular season, and then back to the custom ones for the following season? That's even stranger than I remember.Did they ever actually use Berthold City for the nameplates, as was the case on replica jerseys for the first couple of years? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lights Out 4,977 Posted August 28, 2014 Actually, that picture is from the 2001 preseason, so they already made the switch to the current number font. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's even stranger than I remember.Did they ever actually use Berthold City for the nameplates, as was the case on replica jerseys for the first couple of years?It was a real head scratcher for sure. Not sure what the issue was because I don't think the non block font changed the following season unlike the JAGS which had to completely ditch their skinny drop shadow custom font and adopt a new one (legibility I assume) for the regular season. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
