WSU151 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 This is good proof that @Conrad can make any terrible concept look pretty awesome. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimball Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 HECK YES TO ALL OF IT! I think this is a great use of the City Jerseys. Is it MiLBish? Yes. But, we kind of already turned that corner already. I'd love to see other mockups and what-ifs like the Charlotte Flight, Orlando Juice, Minnesota Polars, etc. I'm sure there are some what-if designs laying around.

SFGiants58 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 You can’t polish a turd, but you can shape it into a gem! Yeah, even by the standards of the time, this looks dreadful. @Conrad. did a fantastic job of turning it into something resembling a decent look, but there’s only so much you can do.

Proposed name nights are minor league, but honestly it’s the best thing minor league does. It’s the most professional thing they do. I’d love to see every team have a “franchise” uniform, like the association and icon and all that. But the franchise is a throwback, classic, or proposed look. Embracing the teams (while not always great) origins and history.

I think he means the logo on the far right hat. also it’s not for their main set, it’s just for one or two years, I think it works. Excellent!

Gothamite Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Still seems a stretch. And even one game with this garbage is a game too many.

BigRed618 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Why Swamp Dragons, tho? I mean, I get that NJ is swampy, but I don’t see that as something to be proud of. Swamps are not cool. You know what lives in a swamp? Mosquitoes, Burmese pythons, banjo-playing sexual predators, and Shrek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it something to do with the concepts that we praise, people liking/disliking minor-league identities, or anything of the sort? I'd like examples, please. Because let me tell you, the Swamp Dragons is only good in the ironic sense. The name is way too silly for an NBA team, the logo makes the Raptors' initial logo look almost austere, and the font choice is delightfully dated. It's trash, but trash that gets clicks and @CC97 loves him some clicks (but not fixing database errors)!
