AndrewMLind Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I agree completely. The Angels still don't look right to me with solid red caps. This, on the other hand, look beautiful . . . and right for the Angels. I know this is probably unpopular, but I liked when the Dodgers had a white outline on the white jersey numbers. The Rays still do this. I guess it got started because, like the Rays currently, they used the same numbers on both home and road (and the Rays use them on both alts, as well). It may be superfluous, but I'd love to see the Dodgers ad a base-layer to the back font in the color of the jerseys. There's something nice about that little unnecessary touch that you can only see up-close. I'm pretty sure the Orioles have black outlines on their black jerseys. I think they also have black-orange-black sleeve piping, but only the orange shows up from a distance.I got all screwed up deleting things, so everything I wrote/added is in BOLD. Orioles have a black outline on the numbers for the black jersey, but it is only a single orange stripe for the sleeves.However, the Orange jersey does use the normal black orange black stripes found on the white and greyThis is false. The black jersey has no outlines on the numbers, wordmark or stripes on the sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Regarding the Mets' blues, I actually really like them - especially love the Mr. Met patch - it's just the orange-brimmed cap I don't like. They really only need the solid blue cap altogether. Wear that with the alt blues and I think it's a good combo altogether. That said though, white pinstripes are still the most preferable home set.

guest23 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Dodgers in pinstripes for selected home day games would work great for them. I also like the pinstripe hat as well, which puts me in the minority here. Maybe in 100 years from now the pinstriped home could be their primary home uniform, if they ever go that route. They did wear pinstripes in Brooklyn back in the 20's I think. Long before my time. A blue alternate interleague jersey with the "Dodgers" written across the chest in plain white and nothing more would be great, accompanied with a white panel cap, similar to the 77-92 Blue Jays home cap with a blue "LA" logo would work perfectly for the Dodgers, but I'm only dreaming here. Once again, I'm in the minority here, but I'm for the Dodgers adding a pinstripe uniform set, blue alternate jersey and making minor tweaks on their word mark for their other three uniforms for next season.no f-ing way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I really like the Rangers in red caps and red undershirts. It a nice balance with the blue wordmark and blue numbers.I like that too, but I know some take issue with it. If they went back to a red wordmark, it'd be too Angel-like now.Plus, the reverse is pretty common, so blue wordmark with red shouldn't be jarring. It works with Texas really being as even a red and blue team as can be.I'm one of those that take issue with it.They had it right when the caps and letters were red... They have it right when the caps and letters are blue... Mixing the two just looks...off...I am with Jungle Jim. The red cap and undershirts looks totally unbalanced to me with the blue wordmark and numbers.You can see it better in this picture where the undershirt is visible.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Whenever the Rangers wear their red hats at home, I truly believe they take the title of "worst uniforms in baseball" for those 9 innings.Hopefully the Blue Jays will finish them off tomorrow so we don't have to see that combo in the ALCS.We don't need mixing and matching period in the MLB. This isn't Pac-12 football. If you want an alternate jersey with an alternate hat, fine, whatever. But stick to one official home look, and one official road look.

Digby Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 re: alternate schedule talk, the Red Sox wear their alternates exclusively on Fridays except in cases of a doubleheader, in which case I've seen them wear an alt usually for the second game.

SilverBullet1929 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yea that Rangers look is weird. Its also probably strongly connected to the fact that we know its a mismatch. Maybe if that was their look from day one we'd be more accepting of it but knowing they're either a red team or a blue team makes it harder to accept them as a mixed red and/or blue team.

Quillz Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I think the Rangers look better as a "blue team." Not to mention in the AL West, you've already got a red team in the Angels (who were wearing red first), a green team in the A's, a teal (?) team in the Mariners and an orange team in the Astros. The Rangers thus are the only blue team and stand out in that regard. And while I mentioned earlier my appreciation for the navy-and-red Angels, that was different because that's how they looked initially and did it properly. The Rangers simply switching between red and blue doesn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear the red cap exclusively with this set and the red alt jersey and that fixes the mismatch problem, and it also fixes the nickname problem they have, too.

BBTV Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 They were a mixed red/blue team for their first 10+ yearsBut a balanced red-blue team. Their current inability to choose one, the other, or design a truly balanced set is absurd. Their red cap is so out of place with the main uniforms.

SilverBullet1929 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 They were a mixed red/blue team for their first 10+ yearsThat picture is a blue team with red trim. Which is ok. What they have now is a bipolar team that some games wears all red and some games wears all blue so when they wear red caps with their home white (blue lettering) jersey its a nasty mixup. In the 90s they were a red team, in the 2000s they were a blue team. Suddenly now in the 2010s they're a confusion of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 you could argue that the red wordmark throws it off, but there's enough blue in the rest of the jersey to maintain the balance. Barely.

Quillz Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 They were a mixed red/blue team for their first 10+ yearsThat's not a bad look. Throw on the modern cap logo and the current "Rangers" script, and I think that's a great look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
