selgy Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 SD and Milwaukee would get it without having to share the attention with other teams. We clearly disagree so we will see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We clearly disagree so we will see what happens. MLB doesn't limit uniform changes to 2 teams per year. In any other year there might be three or more changes. Why the eff do you think they wouldn't allow teams to make their scheduled changes for next year, just because San Diego and Milwaukee didn't get their year this year??? It's where I sit.

BC985 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Team: We have plans to release new uniforms in 2021. MLB: No no no. With the coronavirus severely limiting the 2020 season, the last thing we want is a new uniform that will likely create merchandise sales and increase fan interest in your team.

~Bear Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm disappointed but not surprised in the slightest. It was only a matter of time. To think one day, instead of having script in the middle of a jersey, we'll likely have an ad is disgusting. A small patch is where it starts.

(That and the constant chucking threes). But a watered down experience is exactly how I would explain it too. You are forced to look at those ads, and it takes away from the experience. The "I go catch a ballgame to unwind" will not be as true anymore. But I don't buy 11$ beers at the game, either. As much as I hate the ads, they didnt really ruin the nba for me as much as the stupid uniform system nike implemented. That by far is more jarring than the ad patch (in it's current iteration).

spartacat_12 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 There are currently 10 teams in MLB who haven't sold off their stadium naming rights, so it seems strange that they'd want to jump right into ad patches on the uniform. MetLife pays 20 million a year to have their name on the Jets/Giants stadium. Just imagine what the Yankees could bring in if they wanted to throw a company name on the building.

I think 2 of them Orioles and Nationals are not allowed to sell the name of the stadiums as part of the deal with the local governments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 If they have too have ads, I hope it’s like the NBA with the similar color ads that blend into the uniform. I mean it’s awful, but it would be less awful if it matched a little better with each teams color scheme. I also wouldn’t mind it if it was in more of an inconspicuous place, like on the sleeve, so it hides itself a little better.

monkeypower Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I am someone who doesn't like when teams have different home and away hats. However, I would like to see a team adopt the Texas Longhorns look of a white hat at home and a grey hat on the road, with primary colour bill/squatchee/eyelets, or at least add one of those hats as an alternate. I think it's a really good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a really good look. I think the home hat looks pretty nice, although a burnt orange hat with a white longhorn would be far superior imo. The grey hat is suboptimal for UT and would be terrible for a big league club. That grey crown for UT really makes me wish they used a burnt orange hat, it would be such a great look.

They do have a burnt orange hat but it’s got a white T on it, not the longhorn logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Bullet dodged for now. Paul Lukas (@UniWatch) Tweeted: New 60-game MLB season approved/imposed by ownership. KEY DETAIL: As I understand it, thanks to union/ownership impasse, there will *not* be uniform ads. Owners don't have ability to enact that without union OK. Also no NL DH or expanded playoffs.

flyersfan Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'll make a chime in here It feels inevitable, i obviously wish we could go no ads, but here we are and we likely will have them. Playing devil's advocate, extra revenue might do the sport some good, players could actually get their pay and would play. In the NBA, the ads that are white/ team colors actually look alright. I dont hate it. Sixers/Celtics come to mind. However, those who have company colors (Bucks, Thunder) look horrible. So if we REALLY have to have ads, they would be tolerable in small team colors.
