The most egregious ones are the Dodgers and the White Sox road. The addition of and change to those lessened the look for me. Also included are the Padres, Giants, Angels, etc. NFL has the Patriots, Falcons, Navy Cowboys, and Panthers, to name a few. I hate the redundancy angle. Good call. There are so many secondary logos and patches team can use. It's why I appreciate the Eagles, old Titans, and Ravens to name a few who use a different shoulder patch/logo than what is on their helmet. Baseball is a tad more obvious 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousG Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Here’s a topical one: The Sun Life ad on the Raptors jersey is horrific. Looks like the patch was glued on, and the sponsor’s logo looks like it was designed by a five year old. Awful. 1 Quote My teamsNCAA: Washington StateMLB: Seattle MarinersNFL: Seattle SeahawksNBA: Portland TrailblazersEPL: Liverpool FCMLS: Seattle Sounders FCNHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmdoublem Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Even though I've liked it in a few instances (such as the 2003-2006 Spring Training/BP jerseys), i'd like to see the Giants ditch the gold drop shadows on their home uniforms. The gold made some sense as a fancy thing to do for their first season at Oracle Park back in 2000, but now it just seems kind of pointless. Getting rid of the gold would also bring the current home creams closer to the 1960's uniforms (seen below) they were modeled after. Moving on from the gold would also clean up the road grays. However, I wouldn't mind it if the gold stuck around on the "Orange Friday" jerseys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to see "Rangers" and "Marlins" instead of "Texas" and "Miami" when those teams are home. Looks minor league to me. It actually looks more collegiate to me, but I see where you're getting at. 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengin. Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Color mismatch with wordmarks and numbers on jerseys. It's a serious eye sore at times. White outlining Yellow numbers and wordmarks really bug me too. Especially on small size lettering. I think it makes it illegible and messy. For example, the current Pacer's jerseys.

-Akronite- Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I don't know if I've ever been bothered by a facemask. Even when it's the "wrong" color it just doesn't matter all that much to me. Gray works if it's in the scheme or on a traditional look. White or a team color works in most instances. It's a matter of preference moreso than egregious wrongdoing IMO. And if I was doing a re-design or a tweak of a team's look, it'd be my last priority along with other equipment and under-clothes. And I have to agree strongly with the sentiment regarding football striping being discussed. It looks cheap and dated when a team includes space between stripes, like the Packers do and like the Browns used to (up to the redesign, the touching stripes are far superior to the below). However, as long as you're consistent about it, I'll live with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Dodgers not having the white outline on their road uniforms like they used to Coastal Carolina having one font for the wordmark and another font for the number. I would love the numbers in the wordmark font CCU has different number fonts for different football unis 3 Quote Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it's probably better to match numbers to the font but at other times it looks bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 There’s no reason to have two different fonts across uniforms that are considered the same set. That’s similar to a gripe I have with smaller schools that can’t afford to buy multiple uniforms at one time, too. You’ll see a team upgrade their home uniforms to Nike’s Vapor Untouchable template, for example, but the road or alternate will remain an older template until they can afford to buy the new template. I understand such is life for teams that don’t have lucrative apparel deals and simply purchase their uniforms from the Nike catalog, but it still bugs me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think that this means that they have to have "Dodgers" and not "Los Angeles" on the road jersey, as the lettering in the longer wordmark of the city name probably couldn't take the white outline. I also agree about the inappropriateness of two different number fonts on a team's two uniforms. Unfortunately, the New York Streets, the new team in the NAL, have this as well.

Before the addition of the white outline, the Yankees looked like they were wearing wet paper bags. The white outline and the sleeve stripes made that uniform appear much sharper. And the same goes for the Dodgers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo has the writing like this too, but the away jersey has Toronto with the inline. And what's @Gothamite's Mets wordmark issue. I want to be ruined too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Meh, the Dodgers and Yankees both look better without white outlines. In a similar vein to @Gothamite's observation about the Mets, the Rangers' "T" logo (minus drop shadow) is asymmetrical. Look at the lower right half of the "T" compared to the left top bar. The drop shadow does distract from it. 5 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't bother me, because theoretically, they should NEVER be seen together. Complete non-issue imo.. it's much more important that the pieces that are worn together match nicely than ones that don't even get worn the same weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
