joekono Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Whoever signed off on this should be fired! This doesn't even qualify for a money grab because I would be shocked if this jersey sold well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimalCookie Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 And we don’t even get to see the WHITE Sox in all-white. The only positive takeaway I had from this is that they would finally have to wear white socks, and MLB doesn’t even give that to me. But yeah, when the commentators are talking about how terrible the uniforms are, you messed up pretty badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMill Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 So the white out cap has a tonal flag, making it look like no flag at all. Anytime that happens I'm happy. Yet the black out cap has a white flag. I guess there is no rhyme or reason here. The LOVE YOU TY name plate is nice but it makes the other guys look like complete you know what's. I don't think it's fair to be doing that to players. The Diamondbacks A looks to be shiny silver. It sort of works and sort of legible I'm seeing most guys not going crazy with anything. In fact it's just odd seeing all black uniforms with basic white cleats. Everything is so muted yet these accessory mismatches make it that much more ugly. It's not giving players creativity at all. It's a joke. The clean palate freedom was a failure from the onset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDizzle12 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 If they wanted to go black vs. white, accent colors would have really helped. Pick a bright trim color to outline numbers, logos and wordmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 This is easily the worst thing uniform wise MLB has ever done. Trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The black uniforms are much better than the white uniforms if for no other reason than because the black uniforms use white outlines while the white uniforms use gray outlines, just another inconsistency in a concept full of them. You can see the outlines of names and numbers, at least from a close enough distance, on the black uniforms; the white ones descend into illegible blob immediately. I'm pretty liberal in my views towards baseball uniforms, and I'm not opposed to having non-white/gray pants more often. I think that part can be workshopped a bit. The white uniforms need to be burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins93 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The black uniforms are actually more legible than the Marlins' black alternate. That's not saying much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Feel like enough common sense could've been scraped together so that the teams who wear navy blue who are playing in the colored uniforms this weekend could, you know, have worn navy blue instead. Seeing the Braves/Tigers/Angels (and some others that I just haven't seen yet) wearing black uniforms fails to make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L10nheart404 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yeah, like everyone else here, I am not a fan. There was no thought or effort put into these, just marketing jargon. So plain and uninspired, it's not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 That’s cool that Contino did the Sox wordmark. Would love if they went this direction in a rebrand.

The_Admiral Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 That W is very awkward. A full-name tailed script would look good on a dugout jacket, but not that one. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yeah I like that script, but the W just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of it Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I know it doesn't work this way but with the outpouring of negative reactions to these uniforms can you imagine if MLB/Manfred got so upset that they abruptly cancel having to do this again Saturday and Sunday?

Who's pushing for these uniforms? With the NBA, it's pretty clear that Nike is the one that wants every team to have a bunch of different jerseys (though probably with very little resistance from the league). But is the player's weekend and all the other gimmick jersey being pushed by the league or by the manufacturer? If it's the latter, would MLB be obligated to go through with them even though everyone hates them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this is the same league that has had Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Mother's Day, and Father's Day special event uniforms for the past few years (I might be forgetting one). If I had to speculate, I'd say New Era would be the outside force pushing for these things the most, as this year MLB pulled back from having Mother's and Father's Day jerseys but kept the special caps. What's most baffling about this promotion is that black-on-black and white-on-white New Era caps have been readily available for every team for over a decade.

AstroCree Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Imagine having a Yankees-Dodgers matchup being the most highly anticipated matchup all season long and making them wear these ugly monstrosities instead their classic uniforms all weekend long.
