CC97 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Chris,I still don't know what you mean by one (or more?) of your logos being used on the SSUR site...99.9% of mine are taken from the stories I report on, from original official vector artwork, or in some cases - the SLE. I realize that since my site's currently down, it's kind of hard to remember, but still - I want to know what you're referring to.Just curious. Oh, I'm referring to the PDF file you just posted, not the ones on your site... sorry for the confusion --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giles22 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 This is a great online book. I don't know what to call it. I don't know how you found all the time to compile this 600+ page book. This is great! I'm enjoying reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaltimoreFan Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 This is an awesome guide. I was just wondering one thing (i thought this was a good place to post this rather than start a new topic). I'm a big Oriole fan and wanted to make 2 jersey in honor of their 50th aniversary. I was hoping to make a Chris Hoiles and Mike Mussina jersey (my 2 favorite Orioles). I own the 97-00 Black Alternate Jersey and can easily buy the 97-04 Road Jersey. My question is, By using this guide can I do the lettering myself or would it be easier to get someone else to do it (also who can I send it into)? Thanks for anyone's helpAlso for Mr. Henderson, I know the Orioles participated in the Turn Ahead the Clock Day. Infact I believe Albert Belle had hit 2 or 3 homeruns. I have not been able to find a picture of their uniforms and don't even remember what they look like. Just thought it might be something for you to look out for.

Bill Henderson Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 For Baltimore Fan:The style guide will show you the correct styles and colors for the Orioles jerseys for each year, including what typestyles were used and what patches. However, unless you have the proper type font templates you really can't make your own "correct" lettering. The Orioles are very easy-- for the past twenty plus years thay have used two color "block" style athletic lettering. You would be best off going to authenticlettering.com and just ordering the Orioles lettering set you need. Then you can have your local seamstress/tailor shop sew it onI do have a very large selection of fonts re-created in Adobe Illustrator, for those who have asked. I will share them with collectors for a small duplication fee. However for something simple like the Orioles, just order your letters precut to save a lot of effort.Regarding the orioles and the "Turn Ahead the Clock" uniforms, I have never seen these. I wish I had been paying attention to this ummmm... "event" back when it happened, but all my research was done long after the trail had grown cold. It seems like it was a very unpopular promotion that was the butt of many jokes, and no once really cared to document that it even happened. If anyone has photos of Turn Ahead the clock uniforms being actually worn by players, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Yeah...placing that 48 meg file on my site for all of you to see completely ate up my bandwidth (see my current avatar and sig for further evidence)...once my billing cycle comes back up, I'll have to come up with a different way to let you all see it.Again - rats.

Sec19Row53 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Probably not. When I create a PDF directly from Word, the file size generally gets smaller, not bigger. Adding in the logos and pictures would only make things worse, I assume. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Henderson Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi all-A lot of people from this board have written me to ask me how to get a copy of the MLB Double Knit Style Guide on CD.

CC97 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Looks like you got the White Sox info wrong... you display a jersey from 1997 (notice the Jackie patch) but say it was worn from 1991-1992 only. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Henderson Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Chris- You can't see it in the small photo, but the caption under the white sox jersey with the Jackie patch says that the photo is representative of the style, but that the patch is incorrect and shouldn't be there.Sharp eyes!

CC97 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I stand corrected Found a couple more...The World Series patch slide says it goes back to at least 1992... I can confirm it goes back to at least 1989, maybe even 1988.The Arizona Diamondbacks patch page, everything is one year too early. The Inauguaral Season Patch should be from 1998 not 1997, and the World Series patch should be 2001, not 2000.If I see more, I'll let you know. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
