I hate the gold on their uniforms, especially on the caps. It looks totally forced on their homes and makes their whole set a real cluster:censored:. They can shut their traps about gold...

I was glad they brought back the red lettering and red numbers but I always knew something was missing and I didn't realize it till now. It's missing the red piping on the sleeve. If they bring it back, it'll make the jersey complete. It's just the little things that I think will make some jerseys better. Those original road jerseys didn't have a sleeve patch. I think that since the new one has a sleeve patch, it makes up for them not having piping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's used sparingly, but it's still there. They use it as a drop shadow on the home set.

Silent Wind of Doom Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Jeez. I cannot believe the response to the Jackie Robinson Day uniforms, from someone claiming it only works with a certain number, to others actually saying squeezing the complex font into tiny letters that clash with the numbers and clutter the whole thing actually look better. Insane. On 4/24/2016 at 6:05 PM, rickyISking said: How is it stupid? The Royals are world champions until someone knocks them off the throne, doesn't matter if they're good or not the year after. Sorry the Royals don't have the prestige the Yankees have, when the Royals win the WS it's a big deal, so why not celebrate with a patch. Not everyone has 27 World Series championships to throw in the face of other teams fans. Last year gives you all the evidence you need. In the closing days of the season, I saw the Giants playing with their patches on their sleeves. It looked really silly as they sat there eight games out of even sniffing the playoffs. But to each their own. At least they're not wearing the Giants' "World Champion" uniforms all year long (although that was a really awesome nod to history). I'd rather ditch the patch totally, leaving it to fashion merchandise. Honestly, the suggestion about a hundred pages back of each team wearing a league patch into the Series is much cooler. Seriously, though, the sniping is unnecessary. There's no need to drag the Yankees down into your little snit just because you have an inferiority complex. Oh, and throw me on the people who like that blue Dodger alt, but I was also so impressed with the Yankees' version that I was actually considering supporting it becoming a third. Pictures of it in use, though, seem to show that it has that same wrinkled, cheap, pajama look that causes me to hate the navy of the Red Sox and the blue of the Cubs half the time (the Cubs alt seems to look better on some than others). However, while the Dodgers do suffer from that a little bit, I think the amount of real estate taken up helps to keep it looking good and in place. Although... is it just me, or is the wordmark wildly off center? This was the same problem I have with the Braves' new wordmark, with it not spreading evenly on both sides and crawling into the armpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shades of green always looked slightly different from one another. Let me know when the A's realize that bottom cap is nothing more than an alternate to only be worn with the green jersey and that it doesn't fit with the road gray jersey.

SilverBullet1929 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Why does the Giants "gold" look so brown in those above links? Does it look that way on the actual jerseys? Also, don't they only use "gold" on their home sets and nowhere on their road stuff?

Smells to me like what the Twins are doing that so many on here dislike, It's probably just a graphical representation of the metallic color, which can look different than non-metallics. Gold is used on both of the gray road jerseys. Personally I like the gold at home for the Giants, as it seems like an homage to the area's history. Smart is believing half of what you hear.

They haven't :censored:ed with their iconic cap adding an unnecessary outline unlike the Twins. The Giants logo actually features the colors they're using unlike the Twins (their logo has silver and no gold while their homes and red don't feature any silver). The Twins are a total mess...

Pro teams are usually meticulous about stuff like that, mainly for licensing. And it can get pretty bizarre, as in "wow, I didn't realize Team A had such an elaborate color scheme." For the 1999-2001 Devil Rays' color-spectrum identity, the Rays listed a lot of colors as official colors, though black and purple were used the most. One of the most fascinating schemes was the 1997-2001 Anaheim Angels. A lot of different shades used that aren't obvious when you take a quick look at the logo.

Smells to me like what the Twins are doing that so many on here dislike, It's "old gold" as opposed to Pittsburgh's "athletic gold" or Milwaukee's "metallic gold". I don't know if the presence in the logo makes a color "official". I mean, I suppose it technically does, since it's used at an official capacity, but logos tend to include colors that are not anywhere else in the identity. If you were to ask me to sum up the Giant's color identity, I think I'd come up with cream before gold, and I've known it's there. And yes, I include the wordmark as a logo. I don't think the Rockies' silver gets a lot of attention, although admittedly I'm not in a position to be exposed to the Rockies as much as others.
