I do like the F logo, but in general I don't think mascot-based logos belong on the chest. I think it looks amateurish. 2. There's only the slightest hint of teal in the uniform - it's way too black and white not only for a Florida team, but for a team that's identity was built around the color. 3. In various articles I read while searching for the pic, it was literally designed to be "Yankees dress up". IMO it's too conservative of a uniform for that team, especially when they had great uniforms ('97 set) that had great color balance and a traditional look that still had some flair. 4. "looking like the Yankees while not being the Yankees" isn't good, because it means you're not confident enough in who you are so you need to emulate someone else. There's ways to take inspiration from another club and their traditions without straight-up trying to look exactly like them. We don't disagree as much as we think. I think it's two sides of a similar coin, kinda... 1. I agree that most mascot logos don't belong on the chest because they look minor league but I don't think this particular logo is "mascot based", it's still got a huge clear to read letter on it and the Marlins itself adds to the beauty of that logo... this is clearly open to interpretation 2. Yes it definitely would be better with more teal but that's just the way those unforms were at that time so I won't use that as a fault against the uniform. 3. & 4. Yes it could be better but I feel like you're disliking that jersey more because it's Yankees dress up... do you dislike the White Sox home jersey too for the same reason?

Maybe they could make gold the primary wordmark to differentiate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That uniform was weird because it was the same construction as their regular home unis except the logo on the chest instead of the wordmark. It wasn't different enough from the regular uniforms to make sense as an alternate. I'd get the logo on the chest treatment if it was a vest or a colored alternate, but a sleeved pinstriped jersey it was just like "why?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That one is very much the same amount of pointless and worse than the regular jersey. Still baffles me why they felt like they had to put the headspoon piping on the road uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it on aesthetic merit, not because it's "yankees dress up". I might hate that they're doing Yankees dress up, but I can judge the motive and the uniform separately, it's just that in this case I hate both. The White Sox get a pass for two reasons: 1, there's a historical basis for them to wear a chest logo, even if not black and white, so I don't consider it "yankees dress up", though I get why some might. 2, it just looks good.

FiddySicks Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yeah I hate the headspoon piping, too. The road jerseys were nearly perfect before that addition and now they look so cluttered. If that’s gonna stay, though, I say switch to the SF on the chest look. That’s got some historical merit, at least. It reminds me of early Bonds and late Candlestick. I still think the Giants as a whole should make a bigger deal out of that era than they do.

Very dignified and more cohesively designed, even if only because it was aping the most iconic uniform design in baseball. What do you mean it "trips up a bit on the White Sox". Just curious for you to explain that with some more definition. Not sure if you're saying you don't like the current Sox design or not. I think it looks great, fwiw, on the Sox with the number. It provides balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally do like the White Sox's jersey design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the cutoff? Fair point, but IIRC, there were a few "Ugh, the Padres' away jerseys look really close to the Yankees' away jerseys" when they unveiled them last year. I do remember there being some "Why does Loria love orange and black? We already have two orange and black teams" comments on here when the Marlins switched (though Loria emphasized orange and especially black during the 2000s). And the Nationals are just red and navy with a whole bunch of unis. Do the hats look kinda like the Cardinals and maybe the Braves? Sure, but the jerseys don't.

It's the closest they've come to wearing a "throwback" of that era. Which is a shame because I love that era look for the team.

I still think the Giants as a whole should make a bigger deal out of that era than they do. They've done a number of anniversary days for that 89 team but I agree it kind of sits on the back burner. I was hoping they would have done something in 2014 for the 25th of that World Series. They play the A's every year, wouldn't hurt to do a Battle of the Bay throwbacks and all. Obviously the A's only difference would be socks and sleeve patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
