Digby Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 If anyone needs a dystopian vision, I could see them adopting burgundy and grey again, but with a light blue alt on the road and a burgundy+light blue trim alt at home, paired with its own light blue trim hat -- kinda the Arizona treatment of being unable to decide on a look exactly and churning out two mostly-similar sets to compensate.

The_Admiral Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Maybe the Tribe can use those beige shipping containers they built out in right as their iconic stadium trait. Can't think of anyone else who built shipping containers in their stands. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Why no love for the cool statues on Hope Memorial Bridge (near The Jake), the Guardians of Traffic? That could make for an excellent ASG logo. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZipperClub Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 19 ASG Logo looks awful with the diagonal positioning. Rock n Roll wordmark isn’t anything unique. Guitar looks OK other than the angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipperClub Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 There’s absolutely no reason for that tilt, whether or not the MasterCard logo is present. I didn’t notice the stitches until my second viewing...that’s a cool element but is negated by the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 16 hours ago, BringBackTheVet said: The internet wasn't around back when they wore maroon, but believe me - those uniforms weren't popular, and the overwhelming reaction when they changed was extremely positive. I think the new (I still consider it new since I grew up with the maroon) set didn't age well, but considering that the maroon set was designed to be worn skin tight and high cuffed as was the style of the day as opposed to baggy long pantsed look we saw today, it's better off in the past. It was also designed to coincide with the opening of "futuristic" astroturf multi-purposed Vet. While I'm not a big fan of the current look, there's no reason to bring back the 70s/80s. The swirly-P looks bad, and concepts that just paint-bucket their current baseball diamond logo into burgundy and light blue look even worse, but I still like burgundy as the Phillies' color. It would set them apart from all the teams using plain red. I don't think they should treat light blue as a team color, either, just burgundy and white/grey. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the current uniforms being popular when they first appeared because bright red wasn't as common and the number on the sleeve was unique, but were people clamoring for new uniforms prior to the change? 1 hour ago, the admiral said: The swirly-P looks bad, and concepts that just paint-bucket their current baseball diamond logo into burgundy and light blue look even worse, but I still like burgundy as the Phillies' color.

I never said the maroon / burgundy color was unpopular (though the return to red was a hit), though by the end, it had become darker and darker, to the point where it was... well, really dark (at least in the old mesh-back caps I used to have.) The caps went from basically red (I swear they actually wore red for some time when the pinstripes were still red, and I had a bright-red mesh cap from that era too) to brick to maroon to... darker after the change to swirl-p chest logo, button down placket, and maroon pinstripes in '87.

daveindc Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Looks like the Nats stopped wearing their red caps with their new alt. It was a unique look, but this looks sharp too. As far as the slant of the script, it actually doesn't look bad seeing it in action imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Yes I know what its supposed to represent but at a glance with the star and the pointy points of the lettering the logo looks more like a cowboy country music logo and to me looks like it would go more with the Rangers than the Indians. I feel like going with a rock and roll theme does a disservice to the host team here. It has nothing to do with the Indians. Yes I know why but maybe more could have been done to be similar to the Indians home wordmark script or even to the block C. There's just nothing about the Indians that says rock and roll and I feel like they missed the mark too far because they were desperate to stay away from controversy. Visually I think the logo is fine if not underwhelming... the theme just bugs me though. Already curious how the caps and jerseys will look too.

Other than the uninspired theme of rock n roll (not that All-Star logos ever go with something surprising) and the weird angle on "Cleveland," I honestly like it a lot. -The three different As doesn't bother me because they work together IMO -The tilt makes sense for a guitar and makes it somewhat unique for an All-Star logo -The script neck and the seams are both clever elements It could use some connection to the Indians I suppose (aside from the colors, obviously), but overall it's a solid logo. And I actually like it a lot more having seen it on white rather than the navy background. Curious how it will translate to patch form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated it at first, but it has definitely grown on me. The weird tilt of "Cleveland" makes more sense when they don't angle the whole logo. Found this patch online. I'd assume the real ones would be that metallic type of patch that MLB has moved towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aznkid25 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The SF Giants will be wearing this patch on their jerseys this Saturday, for the Barry Bonds number retirement ceremony. Not for sale, as far as I know, but the Giants Dugout Store is giving them away with any $125 purchase this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the current Phillies look is my least favorite in baseball so I’m pro-burgundy. Can just see the wishy -washiness around light blue as a reminder of Arizona’s modern confusion around turquoise.
