TheOldRoman Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 All of them seem half-assed and horribly misplaced except the Padres. But who knows? Maybe the Padres will lose the camo as part of their half-assed rebrand to colors fans already hate for the Chargers, who themselves might be moving.Also of note, I guess writing Uniwatch doesn't pay well since Lukas appears to be using a late-70s Maytag oven. At least it's not pea green, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Wind of Doom Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Is that list saying Ft Lauderdale is a suburb of Miami? I'm not sure of the legal/political facts but as a South Florida resident there's no way Ft Lauderdale is a suburb of Miami. It's at least 45 minutes away.Someone made the claim that a metroplex/metropolitan area is made up of one city and it's suburbs. The list I posted were lists of metro areas that showed that idea to be false, including Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster I was responding to seemed to think I was posting it for the exact opposite reason of why I did.And I think you're thinking of metallic mint green.Is that list saying Ft Lauderdale is a suburb of Miami?

It's got its own airport which is also preferable to flying into LAX.Newark used to be the only airport in the area, and travelers to Newark held tickets that said they were going to "New York". However, the incorrectness of this practice was vehemently fought by Fiorello La Guardia who forced his plane to land in a small airstrip in Queens where an airport would be built named after him. It was considered the closest thing at the time, but it wasn't New York. I don't think anyone in their right mind would prefer the Devils name themselves after New York. I think Newark is a bit more separated from the City, leading to there being a difference between the acceptability of the Giants and Jets vs. the Devils. Quite frankly, I'm still rather incensed at the Red Bulls still using the name "New York". They should just go with "New Jersey" or "Newark".Newark, Fort Lauderdale, all the cities listed on that list have local sports teams named after themselves or at least not after what one may consider the primary city. Should Anaheim consider themselves any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 No, and they've got the Ducks. Good for them. But neither should residents of a suburb be surprised if the teams discover it's more lucrative to name themselves after the central city. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

But neither should residents of a suburb be surprised if the teams discover it's more lucrative to name themselves after the central city.I also don't know how much changing the name from Anaheim to Los Angeles of Anaheim actually factored into the Angels making more money. It might have something to do with the run of success.If the city name isn't on any of the merch, I don't think it factors in there. When it comes to local TV deals, I really don't think being LAofANA over ANA mattered to Fox Sports West as much as losing the Dodgers did and again the run of success. (Because it's all the same market, right? They're being broadcast to the same section of people no matter what the scorebug says. And again, they're broadcast locally as "Angels Baseball")It's obvious what side I fall on, but I don't think the location has played as much of a factor in the Angels making money. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'm gonna guess Reds or Mets because those two seem to have the most random camo unis to begin with. The Pirates have an affinity for alternate jerseys so I doubt they'd remove one and the Padres originated this thing so I doubt they'd lose it. With that said, if the Padres are going with the 2016 color changes then maybe the camo no longer fits into their uniform equation so who knows really.

Beeperino Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I wonder if the team eliminating the camo is also one of the teams doing a general overhaul. I'm not holding my breath it's the Reds, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELCAT-IDA61 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I just hope nobody adds a camo alt next season, because it's becoming a trend in this decade. I'm guessing the Reds will drop the camo alt. However, I wouldn't mind the Reds dropping the black drop shadow around the wordmark on all their jerseys, but I doubt that will happen in 2016.

Ray Lankford Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The Padres are adding a color they're calling "battleship grey." I doubt they're getting away from the "Team of the Military" idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
