DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The 2020 promo schedule is out for the Nats, and on the calendar I see what I believe may be the design for their gold trimmed champs uniforms: https://www.mlb.com/nationals/tickets/promotions?partnerId=ed-14695391-1194293303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigFiz21 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Too much gold I think. Would have rather kept the number, roundel, and champion logos in their standard colors with only gold in the roundel stars and maybe even to outline the number.

The Padres’ 2016 unis were one-year wonders. The 1990 Cubs had the short stubby “Chicago” jersey before tweaking the font in 1991. The 1987 Mets had road jerseys that lasted one year too. The 1983 Texas Rangers had a one year set. Then in 1994 Texas Rangers road jersey were tweaked in 1995 by adding a blue outline around the "Texas" 1998 St Louis Cardinals. 1999, they changed the beak of the birds from red to yellow. 1993 Colorado Rockies road jerseys were a one year wonder before they changed the sleeve piping in 1994. 1994 Detroit Tigers road jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 FWIW, at the Marlins Park Team Store they're still selling the leftover 2019 Majestic jerseys, which is now a great option for those wanting a jersey and wanting to save some money especially since the 2019 ones don't have the swoosh and are essentially the exact same jerseys just cheaper.

Miami doesn't need a full redesign (imo) they just need colored names and numbers on the jerseys. The difference is that the Marlins don't want changes yet. The other teams did. Just switching to Nike doesn't mean teams are all gonna eventually change even in 2021. They'll change whenever the team actually wants to.

They could be giving Nike a little more time to get settled in, but I wonder if they are worried about the optics of overhauling the designs after only one year. I have some strong personal feelings about the rebrand obviously, but I sense there is a consensus that the black alternate needs a major tweak and a blue alternate of some sort needs to be in the mix for game use. Proponents and opponents of the new look can both agree on those two points at least and I'm certain that the changes will come eventually. You're overthinking this. They, those in charge, just don't want to change yet. I think tweaks will come eventually too but they likely just don't think a change is needed yet. I doubt they're waiting on Nike to settle in. They only rebranded one season ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind the use of the color black, but it’s use has been the one constant and largest negative in the franchise’s uniform history. The color black completely pushed out both teal and orange colored uniform options. Now this team has adopted a great shade of blue, and it is being lost in the overuse of the color black. There is so much potential and the Marlins are making the same mistakes for a 3rd time. The Marlins only use their black jerseys on Fridays and Saturdays. They use their regular home or road jerseys Sunday-Thursday. Sure they rely on the color black quite a bit but the idea that they use it more than anything else is now a myth. They've significantly scaled this back and this has been the case since Jeter took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Gold is a tricky color to replicate in flat colors. Oftentimes it looks too beige, but this one has too much green in it. Yuck.

I'd absolutely say there is a consensus on those two points I specified--the black jersey could benefit from more color to avoid illegibility and a blue alternate should be in circulation for actual games.

They've definitely scaled back a bit under Jeter in terms of wearing the black alternate, but it's still being worn for roughly one third of their games. That's not more than anything else, but roughly as much as the whites and grays. Once a week would be more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way better than some teams who wear their alternates more than their primaries. I'll take that especially with how they wore them before and how often people think they wear them.
