Lights Out Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Speaking of baseball, the '60s Reds went through a phase of placing an arced nameplate underneath the number on the back of their jerseys: I know people have praised this application on here before, but to me it looks like the equipment manager screwed up royally.

Yeah, I think it looks profoundly stupid. Names are placed across the shoulders for maximum legibility. I understand they obviously felt there wasn't enough room on the vests, but maybe that's when you just don't put names on the jerseys. And even if it was so important they do, the Reds should have used a straight name or else an downward-arc "smile" to better interact with the numbers. The standard arc doesn't work below the numbers. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with the Long Island icon but I'm guessing it matches road signs on that side of the rivalry. You are correct. That is a New York state shield. Interesting idea (that may be stereotyping a little, but is also likely true?): The people in the city take public transit (the subway), and people on Long Island drive everywhere.

The standard arc doesn't work below the numbers. Im a proponent of names under numbers when there's limited space - but the downward arc is dumb. Just use a thinner font and go straight across. It'd look fine, especially on that jersey. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

No is not, but believe me or not, I know the team (women's team) which using Comic Sans as their jersey font, I'm even a fan of that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
