No! There was never any speculation, just fans pontificating an idea. They would've phased it out instead of feature it on new items like the ST hat, and the chop fest logo.

The_Admiral Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm fearing sort of a change-for-the-sake-of-change where they outline the A on the hats and reduce the piping to single-layer navy blue (very clean, really pops). Or perhaps they'll put a secondary/roundel that doesn't need to be there on the sleeve. Or maybe simplify some of the old details out of the tomahawk. Frankly, I'm still not over them getting rid of vertically arched lettering. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1409 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I definitely fear a White Sox like douche move to have a single pair of white and gray pants by reducing the piping to single navy and making the home alt white. This would be a major blow to such a classic uniform set (I'm not even considering the fugly navy alt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I can’t see the Braves making significant changes to what is their most iconic and successful uniforms. This has to be a new alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The Braves have a delicate balance of red and blue that is upset by a colored alternate. Somehow this doesn't apply to secondary stuff like jackets and practice jerseys but neither alternate works, and red even worse than blue. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally just flip all the white and navy on the home jersey and you have a great alternate. However, it would just be a nice "change of pace" which was a slight step down from the home and road, and the players would end up wearing it every other game. It's probably for the best they haven't added such a jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 You can get a batting practice jersey out of flipping navy and white, but once you apply that to triple piping, it gets a little messy, and without that, it looks like a batting practice jersey. There's up to a third of the majors that should be alternate-proof: besides the obvious Yankees, the Cardinals, Mets, Braves, Angels, Nationals, and Red Sox never look good deviating from white and grey. I'm probably forgetting more. EDIT: Tigers, Dodgers, Giants, that's ten ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I expect to happen, and it’s going to be as disappointing and frustratingly unnecessary as you’d expect.

BadSeed84 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The Phillies put up these wallpapers on their twitter, which shows their new primary logo against different colors. Interestingly when it is against a red background, it gets an inner blue outline like their red alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Their bell puts the 76ers’ to shame. It’s interesting to see the difference in orientation of the crack and overall shape of both bells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Cubs and White Sox look good in colored jerseys when used sparingly. So am I supposed to list the other twenty teams I didn't list already? plead each case?

I don't like the deviation from white and grey other than the A's. Your answer is perfectly clear -- there's no deeper meaning to it It's where I sit.

_DietDrPepper_ Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The unevenness of the phils new logo is so bothering, 100% downgrade, the removal of the field shape left it feeling extremely left heavy due to the way the script is and the capital P, it also seems like it juts out more on the left side too, but my eyes could be playing tricks on me Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
