SilverBullet1929 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I wonder what the Padres would say if someone showed them those pics. Probably something about "studies show that those ideas suck" and "way too interesting for us" and "but how does that honor the military?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrypep Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 The patch in the mockup is really cool too, based on the original patch from the 69 uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be nitpicky . . . because that's what we do here . . . 1969-2018 is the 50th Season, not the 50th Anniversary. Otherwise, that is a great looking patch, particularly in the fauxback/homage context.

I would really like to sit down and have an honest talk with whomever makes this decision within the organization. Get a real, candid, honest answer as to why they want navy/white vs navy/yellow or navy/orange or brown/yellow or brown/orange. Truly perplexing.

They're definite improvements however. But I'm not sure why they're using the US Highway shield as a base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'm going to take a random guess...they use the highway shield because teams don't fly during spring training.(?) If I have it correct, everything is by bus. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmejia Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Quote I'm going to take a random guess...they use the highway shield because teams don't fly during spring training.(?) If I have it correct, everything is by bus. I think that's exactly it. The goal being to promote the idea of road tripping to watch games in different parks in either Arizona or Florida. Fans and teams alike traveling by highway to the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Can Brown Do For You Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Also maybe it's possible th highway sign represents the 10 passing through both Arizona and Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The shield is also the shape of US Route signs, not Interstate signs. My thought (guess?) is that the US Route shield is a bit of shorthand for "Road Trip!"* * -- Interesting(?) side note -- If you do a Google Image Search for "road trip", the vast majority of the images are of old school two lane roads (with lots of deserts) rather than Interstate highways.

SFGiants58 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The White Sox's 1990 redesign was a genuine trendsetter, producing two clones (or teams that evolved into clones): Heck, the Rockies and Marlins both got a bit cheeky with their inspirations: The elements of their design also profligated throughout baseball in the 1990's (i.e. re-emphasized pinstripes, block standard font largely replacing Wilson's varsity font, and black/silver accents dominating design): You could argue that there were once many "White Sox clones," but the design cues of that 1990 redesign have faded from popularity. Also, just because I have this damn thing on standby: Doesn't that reduce the White Sox-ness of the design?

kroywen Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I really want to see the Rockies change fonts and use purple letters on their home jersey. The Times New Roman doesn't look good on a jersey, and the silver lettering doesn't show up well against a white background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Speaking of the Rockies, have we already discussed the fact that they changed their caps for 2017? They're using a much lighter shade of purple now. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
