FinsUp1214 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 As seemingly one of the few who liked San Diego's home uniforms from last year, watching games this season really makes me miss that uniform a whole lot. This year's haphazard concoction doesn't hold a candle to it. It wasn't a perfect uniform and perhaps not the ideal Padres' uniform either (I get the brown argument), but it looked sharp to me at least. Loved the classic design (double piping makes a difference), loved the navy and sand together, and of course, the friar.

Thomas Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Maybe belong in the unpopular thread, but a royal blue Dodgers jersey would be pretty sweet. Without the AZ and a LA on the other sleeve, looks pretty good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referencing this comment below that explains what an honor wearing your family name on your jersey can be (which I agree with) but pointing out how for the Yankees, NNOB is the way they go... which means great players like Mr Jeter do not get to honor their family names on their jerseys.

It shows that you've reached the highest level of baseball in the world and you get to represent not only yourself, but your family name, by having it on the back of your jersey. What an honor that must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto for last year, and both include the playoffs this year 8 road games in, thats all theyve worn safe to say these are the new roadies and the Los Angeles script are the alts, and I wonder if theyll even be worn at all this year That's a bummer. I get the historical significance of only having Dodgers on their jerseys (I think the Brooklyn Dodgers only had the city identifier on their jerseys a handful of times. I don't think Jackie Robinson ever wore a Dodgers jersey with the word Brooklyn on it, either), but that road jersey with the Los Angeles script is an AWESOME jersey. It's one of the best examples of a script working perfectly with the primary mark and the road mark as well. I say that as a Giants fan, too.

AstroCree Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 They looked good last night. There's something about the "Dodgers" away uniforms that I just don't like when compared to the LA uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The "Los Angeles" jerseys are definitely the better aesthetic. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 For me, it's a combination of the "Los Angeles" script being SO good and that little bit of piping on the sleeves. Sans-piping can look really good when the uniform is white (obviously, see: Dodgers); but for some reason, not so much when it's grey. Grey just needs..."something". I feel the same way about the Cards and Cubs roads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, got it. Yeah, hard to imagine a Yankee jersey with name, would not look right. White Sox on the other hand looks good with name on back imo, i wonder if it´s due to the fact that the Sox use two layer/color letters and numbers.

Derek94 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I tried googling it but couldn't find when they started putting the MLB logo on the back of the pants. I think it's pretty awesome touch to make it look even more authentic. Anyone have a link to an article or blog discussing this addition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i wanna know is: Do their underpants also have the batter logo ? But seriously, i think it´s overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems really redundant and a very odd change to make...back of the cap, jersey, and pants? I mean, what was said in meetings that even pushed the idea or tipped the scales towards adopting it? "Thank you for coming, everyone.

Fans are completely oblivious and can't tell they're watching a major league game, and I feel three batterman logos rather than two will be the charm that helps." "Brilliant, Bob. MEETING ADJOURNED."

BBTV Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 There was a lot of coverage on UW about the logo on the pants and the change that the Tigers had to make to accommodate. Regarding the Dodgers - I do like the Los Angeles script, but the Dodgers one looks better to me IMO. A blue alt with Los Angeles (for ROAD use only) - OK, maybe, just to keep the script in the rotation - but IMO the Dodgers script is the way to go for them.

Derek94 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 What is UW? And I can see where you guys are stating it's unnecessary. I happen to be a mark for that logo, best one among the big leagues, so anytime i see it I don't have an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, maybe the batterman logo on the jerseys, since those are sold to fans. But there's absolutely no need to add it to the pants. It's just more clutter on uniforms that don't need it.

Sport Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The rear batterman logo is in case you see a photo of just a guy's ass (nevermind why you're looking at it) then you will know what level of professional baseball he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouj Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Derek94: Paul Lukas (who runs Uni Watch) also wrote about the addition for ESPN:http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15099445/uni-watch-2016-mlb-season-preview-uniform-changes-alternates-patches-more And some of the sliding shorts do have the batterman logo on it.
