BC985 1,327 Posted October 23, 2017 I don’t think it’s a move to make WS the new standard but rather the design choice for 2017. I’m willing to bet we’ll see World Series on the patch again next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njdevs7 730 Posted October 23, 2017 Lol ^ well you can absolutely do abbreviations with 2 letters as seen above. But those are all one syllable letters. WS does not work because W is 3 syllables. Saying "World Series" is shorter than saying "W.S." It would never catch on. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ummm, you do realize that the Dodgers are from a city that's commonly referred to as LA, right? Considering that, the World Series patch having 'WS' on it rather than the full 'World Series' is oddly fitting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerseyjunk 176 Posted October 23, 2017 20 hours ago, Quillz said: Yeah, not a huge fan. But I guess they want "WS" to become as recognizable as "LCS" or "LDS." Not a fan of the recent patches in terms of material, either. They're basically just rubberized plastic to an extent. I liked it when they were actually sewn onto the jerseys. Right, this from 2015 is not so bad, i believe it´s called chromaflex. It has a metallic look to it But this year i think it´s called emboss tech, and like the post season patches, it looks like cheap rubber! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quillz 1,356 Posted October 23, 2017 Feels like cheap rubber, too. I dunno, there's just something about embroidered patches that I like. These "emboss tech" patches are used on NFL sideline cap logos and shields, which is fine, because those have more of a "fashion" feel to them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smzimbabwe 218 Posted October 23, 2017 I see "WS" an I automatically think White Sox. Even for the college world series (CWS) I see the abbreviation and think "Chicago White Sox" before context gives it away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC985 1,327 Posted October 24, 2017 I wonder if the Astros will go back to the orange bill caps on the road. They were 0-3 in New York with the all navy caps. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben in LA 1,207 Posted October 24, 2017 I’ve waited 29 years for my Dodgers to return to the World Series...and THAT’S the patch they get? What a disappointment. The proposed one the boss originally posted was MUCH better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I’m happy they’re there...believe that. I just want them to win four games. If they do it in their Spring Training jerseys so be it. I still don’t like that patch though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm with ya, I also wasn't trying to be argumentative, just making a point about the Dodgers' World Series drought. I do agree it'd be nicer if the patch was better. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JTernup 392 Posted October 24, 2017 My problem with the patch isn't the WS (which is stupid) or the excess negative space, its the 'feel'. World Series logos always feel very immense, the logo itself conveys the message that this is one of the largest events in sports. I got that same feel from the old NBA Finals logo. This falls flat in that category. It feels cheap and unimportant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insert name 4,801 Posted October 24, 2017 I really hate this World Series patch. It’s the weakest patch they’ve worn since they started wearing them. So much white space, it really ruins it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddieJ1984 1,581 Posted October 24, 2017 It would've made alot more sense for the WS patch be on the hat, and the shoulder one be World Series. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
