FinsUp1214 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Frankly, that navy-heavy road uniform is one of my favorite baseball uniforms. They looked even better when guys like Soriano wore the navy high socks: I do prefer it, but only because of the aforementioned problems I have with the road uniform. This one was much more cohesive. If the Nats fixed those current issues up though, I think they'd look just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see what that uniform would look like with their current "Washington" script wordmark in navy. I'm intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the patch treatment on these caps is same as recent years, glued on. The new era flag is actually sown on to the caps. New era has made it so retailers can actually glue the patches on to their inventory of stock themselves in recent years. The NE flags are glued on as well. I picked one up this weekend and it was the first thing I noticed. The on-fields now have glued on (for now) raised 3D embroidered flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001mark Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm fine with the New Era logos. Like Riddell NFL logos or CCM NHL logos. They're logos, not ads. I'd prefer Jays' home whites, & yet until they lose they'll probably not change. So I guess I want to hope we never see them, contextually. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of making new product, just glue on the flag to existing product to use up as much before transitioning next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodsep Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Didn't the Nats use their red batting helmets for a series of two after the All Star break a couple of seasons ago? I remember seeing it on MLB network back then, something about their regular helmets not arriving in time or something like that. Anyway, they just looked great as a red team on the road.

kroywen Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm glad the Cubs had the good sense to wear their gray uniforms last night, rather than those overused blue alternates. I'm not sure on the breakdown of the number of times they wore blue versus the number of times they wore gray on the road this year, but I was a bit worried they'd wear the blue on the road all postseason long. I'm personally pulling for the Cubs this year, and I'm hoping if they do win it all, that they clinch at Wrigley (for a variety of reasons). But if they wind up going to the World Series and wear those blue alternates in a potential clincher, it would almost be as bad as the Cavs wearing those black alts in Game 7 earlier this year. Given how historic a Cubs World Series victory would be, it would be a shame if it occurred while they were wearing something that looked like a batting practice jersey.

SilverBullet1929 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I secretly want the Cubs to shock everyone and bring back the ugly gray alternate from a season or two ago during a random NLCS road game just to see the reactions on here.

Isn't the blue road alt a predominantly Arrietta thing? I thought they always wore them for his road starts (because he likes them) and then sporadically for other road games. At least that's how it was last year. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I noticed last night, when I had the Cubs-Giants game on, that the Giants uniforms have really repetitive logos on them. The wordmark is the exact same as the one on the sleeve patch. That really bothered me last night. I think the Giants need a different logo on the sleeve or a different workmark. (This is only on the home uniform) Does this bother anyone else??? "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

The Mets have the same thing on their home uniforms and they've done it since the beginning (except the 80's). It doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mets don't bother me as much, because the wordmark is inside another shape that really stands out. The Giants have a cream baseball on a cream jersey and the blend in from a distance, so you can kinda only see the Giants wordmark on the sleeve...

(This is only on the home uniform) Does this bother anyone else??? Thanks. I have never noticed this and now it's gonna bother the hell out of me. But yeah, good observation. The Mets one is in another logo and the letters are a different color so it's differentiated enough. The Giants one looks like they took the chest wordmark and shrunk it with a magic shrinking machine and then stuck it on the sleeve. Yea it's too redundant. Maybe just putting the SF cap logo on there would be a better solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 A bunch of teams have had the front wordmark on a jersey patch at some point. Not bothered by it at all. Using different wordmarks would be worse. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Something that just occurred to me is that the Blue Jays and Indians seem to like their blue alts a lot. I don't expect it to be a problem when Cleveland's at home, seeing they'd likely wear their whites I would guess, but in Toronto will Cleveland budge and go road greys to avoid royal/navy? If it comes to it I hope they do, but of course if I had my way it'd be white vs. grey all the way no matter who's home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
