Ark Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I prefer the old script, but it really doesn't matter. They are basically the same. The one thing they should have done was go back to red brims on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when your home cap is as great as the Braves' home cap is, you should wear it with the roads too. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

But when your home cap is as great as the Braves' home cap is, you should wear it with the roads too. Also, for the fifty bajilionth time, Oakland and Cincinnati should do the same. It's even more eggregious for both of these teams because they don't have separate batting helmets for their road sets (unlike the Braves): If they need an alternate cap, just rock a kelly green one, a royal blue Philadelphia-style one, or a logo cap with the white elephant. In Cincy's case, how about a white- or grey-crowned cap as an alt? MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd77 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Apparently American Family Insurance is taking over in Milwaukee. No more Miller Park after next season after Miller declined to renew their naming rights deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It should be American Family Insurance Stadium. It's a nod to the old park and an acknowledgment that a big hulking warehouse is not a park or a field. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/mlb/brewers/2019/01/22/american-family-insurance-will-replace-miller-as-brewers-stadium-name-sponor/2644445002/ The Marcus Amphitheater changed its name?

Replace it with three-color piping around the collar; or just leave the collar empty. The piping along the placket just seams to muddy up the wordmark and tomahawk. Hmmm... nope.

No more Miller Park after next season after Miller declined to renew their naming rights deal. I expect this to go over as well as the attempted rename of the Sears Tower. Miller Park was the perfect compromise between corporate sponsorship and having a name with entrenched meaning in the community. On the plus side, maybe this will finally be the kick in the pants they need to get rid of those terrible Miller inspired uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Does anyone care that sears tower is Willis tower now?

Not sure how much people care, but people of a certain age still call it Sears Tower in conversation and nobody thinks anything of it. I imagine the same will go for Miller Park, Safeco Field, and it’s my understanding that many still refer to Progressive Field as “The Jake” or Jacobs Field.

Hell. I'm 18 and call it Sears Tower. I've never heard anyone say Willis Tower unless it's in an article or on TV. Miller Park was perfect. They might as well renamed it :censored: beer coliseum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 My family went to Chicago a few years after they changed the name and when we visited the observation deck, we wanted to get a magnet that said “Sears Tower”, not Willis Tower. As far as I understand, many people in Chicago refuse to call it Willis Tower. Sponser names comes and go. Unless it was the first and had longevity, they almost never stick. People here still call Citi Field “Shea” and it’s been 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs to clean uniform house. Absolutely. I don't know whether they are keeping the pinstriped home alt but either way, they are are all over the map at home with two wordmarks used almost equally, gold sometimes, but not all the time. And then no gold on the road (until, inevitably, they bust out this blue jersey on the road). It's a mess. They need to make a couple of choices.

I have a lot of friends who refuse to call Progressive Field anything other than Jacobs Fields or “The Jake.” It’s not something that bothers me because I have no attachment, but I understand the sentiment. I’d probably do the same if the rights to Camden Yards are ever sold. But calling Citi Field “Shea” is especially odd considering it’s an entirely different stadium.
