That P came from an era where things didn’t mean anything, they just looked cool so the team used it. If pitching falls through though he may have a job in a design firm coming up with Nike Speak.

monkeypower Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I understand it’s not the case, I just can’t make out what they’re getting at. The right side of the “P”? Like the bump thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I think they mean the three curved lines on the fat side of the P. They kinda look like gateways. It’s absolutely a case of them reverse engineering a concept, but it’s a nice little unintentional nod, I suppose. I’ll allow it.

Ted Cunningham Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I believe Hader is referring, specifically, to the Sister Bridges (of which one, the Roberto Clemente Bridge carrying 6th Street across the Allegheny, is visible in the backdrop of PNC Park). As pictured here (top to bottom), they're named for Clemente, Andy Warhol, and Rachel Carson. EDIT: As others have pointed out, the P simply fits in with the keystone serif motif that the Bucs have employed since the 40s. But I do think it's a cool little happy accident that it does line up that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 There was no NikeSpeak back then. They probably just ordered out of a black-and-white catalog.

MilSox Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm actually thinking of buying this one. With no NOB it looks like a natural evolution of their 80s uniforms. They really have to re-work the creams. The pinstripes and road greys have emerged as my favorites in this set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced now that they need to return to normal baseball block numbers, probably the serifed ones like they used on the throwbacks (same as the Twins). This one is way to close, but the more "vertical" angles make it seem like they moved some points up or down just to have something different. The Rangers did a good job by putting the "thorns" on theirs, but here, some of the numbers look like they been squished and thrown on the jersey. I mean, look at the 4. It's normal and it makes the 2 look deformed next to it. The old numbers would go with the new wordmark fonts just nicely, IMO. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 If you're going to go NNOB, then move the number up so that it doesn't look like someone just forgot to sew the letters on.

No, because, like with the front of the jersey, the eye naturally goes up. The chest area on the front and (more or less) in between the shoulder blades on the back. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I’m saying, moving the number up too far because of NNOB looks awkward, leaving them centered looks more natural, the Yankees or Red Sox don’t move their numbers up because of NNOB because the number is already in the natural position.

McCall Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 No you can definitely see that the Yankees numbers are naturally higher up due to no NOB. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pair the new numbers with the 90s droptail scripts. Then again, I've admitted several times before that the numbers are far and away my favorite thing about the new set.

BBTV Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Red Sox are similar to the Yankees.

Yes, the Yankees and the Red Sox/Giants' home uniforms all do it properly with the number moved up with no name. But it seemed that every team that regularly has a NOB, did not move up the number for the Jackie Robinson games. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
