OnWis97 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Lots of good stuff in this thread. The problem is, that nobody can top post #3. For some reason, I view that Villanova basketball uniform as the quintessential 1990s experiment. Brand new extra color Asymmetrical shorts Very carefully-drawn sloppy-looking wordmark Rigid zig-zaggy patterns Wordmark over ferocious animal. Even the Apex logo...Apex was the master of the 1990s. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

SFGiants58 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The earliest rumblings of the neo-retro movement in baseball also happened in the 1990s. Take the Giants, who adjusted their cap and wordmark logos to "update" their 1947-1976 wordmarks and cap logo: Compare that to their bulbous 1983-93 look, as seen in this late 1993 image (a fun case of branding overlap): The White Sox started this push towards neo-retro designs in the 1990's (after being part of the "1987" wave): Many others following suit. The Phillies created an odd modernization of their "Whiz Kids" design, the Expos redid their uniforms in a traditional style, the Cardinals eschewed uniform stripes and added a road cap, the Reds revived vests and pinstripes, Cleveland brought back the 1940s-'50s scripts in an "uncanny valley" fashion, and the Angels revived their 1960s aesthetic for a brief period. Also, the 1993 teams both came out with modern spins on "traditional" (White Sox ripoff) designs. Neo-retro was an underrated part of 1990s design, one that would gain traction in the following decade.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 And, of course, throwbacks began in the early 1990s, with the first one worn by the White Sox in 1990 when they wore 1917 uniforms. That Jack McDowell card deserves a closeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
