If you're an apparel company spending tons of cash to be a uniform supplier for one of the big four sports leagues, you want as much visibility possible in order to maximize the return on your hefty investment. Yeah, but then it´s just strange that fanatics will make the replicas jerseys where there will be no UA logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 well considering the contract calls for the logo on the (viewer's) RIGHT side, it would be placed above the NY, so it may look better if it just replaced it.

AstroCree Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Wow this looks bad. I mean really really bad. Enjoy these next 3 seasons while it last. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 All of these decisions being made by manufacturers and leagues are making it awfully easy for me not to buy jerseys anymore. Couple that with the outrageous prices, it's basically a no-brainer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 With UA being added to jerseys and the NE to the caps, I better buy these items without the logos while I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never said viewers right. It said right side of chest, which I take as right front/shoulder of the player. So the left chest team logo jerseys (Yankees, Washington, etc) are balanced.

OnWis97 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 This may actually be worse news for me than the NBA news. I hate the NBA news and each team having a different corporate sponsor is an extra step into the nightmare than a manufacturer logo. But this looks really, really bad. It's messing with a uniform that I guess I hold more dear than NBA uniforms. MLB has always gone low-profile on-field with nothing on its hat and a pretty hard-to-notice sleeve logo (dating back through Russell and Rawlings). This is really jarring and I am kind of at the point where I think the big leagues should just rip off the band-aid and go full Euro-hockey. I think I'd rather see that than watch it progress over 10 to 20 years. On the boards here (and I think some portion of fans in general) there's a lot of debate about Nike/Adidas/Under Armor, etc. I have no such loyalty. I always wondered whether anyone thought it was "lame" that MLB jerseys had such a "nothing" manufacturer. I loved it. Everyone (even "regular" fans) knows who sponsors NFL jerseys and most college uniforms. I'd wager that 9 out of 10 fans at an MLB game don't even know who "Majestic" is. And there's no way Under Armor can do anything that makes up for the loss of that situation; that little barely-noticeable logo on the bottom of the left sleeve. Without a doubt, Majestic goes down as my favorite manufacturer (or, rather, my favorite manufacturer situation) since the good ol' days of not having any logo creep. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

It would be consistent with college placement though.

Ray Lankford Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It's been about forty years since MLB got crazy with their uniforms so maybe it's time for another go. Everyone'll get burnt on in ten years or so and we'll probably come out of it with some jerseys that everyone will get nostalgic for in another thirty years.

SilverBullet1929 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Sue me but I think they can get away with this on colored alternate jerseys, it's the traditional whites and grays that I fear get ruined by this. I almost wish UA would only do this to the alternates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
