KittSmith_95 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Give me White & Black as the Home combo, Grey & Black as the road combo.... but like I said before, a blue cap that can be worn with either look along side blue under shirts as an alternative option, and then both a Black & Blue alternate respectively. Embrace both the Black & Blue. Keep the Red-Orange to trim, and you'll have a look that pops.... basically, the Black Jays set done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to put it side-by-side with the others just to tell the difference, which there isn't much of, then it's pointless. There's enough red and blue teams in MLB as it is, and the slight difference in shade here doesn't help. But as long as the set has plenty of the blue, and the very minimum of that red, it should be fine. I just cringed when I saw that pic of the red and blue piping.

The point is you can barely tell the difference, and the fact that he had to make a comparison in the first place is telling. It's still red and blue, and there's way too many red and blue teams in MLB. The slightly different shades don't help. I just hope they keep that red to a minimum.

jn8 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Does it really matter if they’re blue and red? If they unveil the uniforms and have a great set, will anyone say “They’re great, but other teams use various shades blue and red, so by default they must suck”?(Well, obviously some people will, but..) Personally, I don’t give a :censored: what colors a team wears, as long as they look good and if that means we get 30 unique color schemes or 30 blue/red teams, I don’t care. Obviously, that’s a hyperbole for hyperbole’s sake, but can we just wait until we see the logos and uniforms before calling it a failure simply because they used a (unique) shade of blue and a (unique) shade of red-orange?

I think it'd be cool if they'd let bougainvillea grow on there, so it flowers. 1 hour ago, daveindc said: Sure...

It's easy for us to sit here and criticize the colors before we see the full implementation of them. Once we see them, it may look just like other teams, and it may look completely unique. We'll find out on Thursday. Everything I've seen indicates the red is only a minor accent color used on drop shadows and sleeve piping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins93 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I don't mind them being another blue and red team because they are using brighter shades of both, but I am still worried that the black will be too much. I'm also concerned that the primary logo doesn't work on a background that isn't white. It will be interesting to see how they manage that one.

Sure, I guess, maybe, but only if you’re willing to ignore black. Which would be to ignore their main color. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

_DietDrPepper_ Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I see it as Rangers are Blue and Red Blue Jays are Blue and White Marlins are going to be Blue and Black Its one thing to copy a color scheme it’s another thing to copy how you use it, now if all these teams were for say predominantly red and blue than maybe, but you can tell them all apart based on how they wear it. Cleveland Minnesota and St.Louis fits your point better but still you can tell them apart Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigbazah Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 No one seems to struggle with telling the Dodgers and Royals apart. Likewise, the Yankees, White Sox and Rockies. I don't see a problem here with these colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Can't wait to find out the specific color code for that accent color. It definitely looked more reddish in the uniform teasers but in todays video it's back to looking more towards a salmon or coral color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean to tell me that all this time Kershaw didn't play for the Royals and they didn't play the Red Sox for the title. I've been bamboozled.

It feels like a balancing act that is very dependent on execution and the colors around it. Which is why finding out the color code is intriguing to me.
