AstroCree Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 This just prolonged my fear in UA. I'm am terrified of a disaster that matches the RBK Edge. MLB has always had some good clean uniforms and I'm afraid that UA will walk in and say "We're gonna D-Backs everyone 10x that!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Era wanted their logo on the caps for years, and even advertised "official" caps with the flag on the side at ballparks. And then as soon as Rob Manfred takes over, suddenly they get what they want. You can tell who was holding up that deal. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Plus, I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the youth factor. Interesting article ... https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/11/teens-say-under-armour-is-an-old-brand-as-adidas-vans-win-new-fans.html These days Under Armour seems to be big with 2 groups - 10 year old boys - suburban dads Who's to say MLB doesn't enjoy aligning with these demographics?

TenaciousG Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Is Majestic dead then? I literally don’t know anything else they do. Also the way Majestic was trending with the D-Backs and such makes me think they aren’t really all they were cracked up to be. UA has done well with traditional uniforms like Auburn football... I’ll give them a chance with baseball.

BadSeed84 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 While I'm not a teen and 33yo. I imagine UA isn't as cool simply because it was cool 5 years ago, they're kinda like starter, a fad company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest23 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 My guess that this is a financial issue and not uniform related. From what I recall ua bought out majestic's final year to get started early. Given ua's financial woes of late this would make sense to delay if you can legally back out of the early start agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the DBacks in house creative team had a lot of input in those uniforms. Got a lot of feedback from the players as well. So i def wouldn't put that on the manufacturer. I know teams have already discussed the possibility of using heather gray uniforms with UA, i'm actually excited to see what they come up with. Their football stuff is getting better every year.

TheOldRoman Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 17 hours ago, Bmac said: Colored jerseys have been worn in MLB for 55 years. 46 if you don't want to count colored jerseys worn with matching colored pants. And before that colored uniforms were common until 1917. So unless you watched baseball during the 1918-1962 period, you should be used to them by now. (If that's the case, so be it, but I imagine the majority of the members of this community are too young for that to be the case.) I completely understand preferring the traditional white and gray setup to colored jerseys, but acting like they "don't belong in MLB" is a bit silly at this point. Since 1900, colored uniforms have been in use for a longer period than they haven't. And before the "anything goes" era of the last five years and outside of the '70s which were known for intentionally garish uniforms, how many of those years regularly featured color vs color games? I'm not saying teams shouldn't have colored alternates. But two alternates should never meet on the field, and no teams should wear their alternates more than a quarter of the time, tops.

VikWings Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Good. Even if things stay traditional and more teams don’t start looking like the Diamondbacks the UA logo on the chest is going to look stupid especially for teams that have a monogram instead of a wordmark.
