RoughRiders99 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I would love it if the Cubs could use this throwback road jersey as their full-time road uniforms. Maybe with blue cap/red bill, a red number on the front too along with blue NOB, red number on the back. I also love the blue alt jerseys, but would prefer to keep them on the road as it currently is. Home whites only at Wrigley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilSox Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Unpopular opinion, maybe, but I prefer the white outline on CHICAGO. Red and royal blue don't contrast enough at that size, leaving the letters unnecessarily muddled. The A in particular become a monolithic trapezoid with legs. With white outlines, the CHICAGO reads crisply and cleanly. Then when paired with red numbers also outlined in white. The color balance is damn near perfect. I stand by what I said earlier... the Cubs uniforms are pretty damn perfect as is. Leave 'em alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch B Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The secondary color on the Brewers socks looks more olive drab than gold. "Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong." Dennis Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 That’s the problem - gold looks amazing rendered in metallic thread and seen in the sun. It looks drab in virtually every other circumstance. Most of the time it’s closer to beige. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I'm just happy the team dumped the worst road jersey in franchise history by the time they won the series. The jersey doesn't use their trademark font, employs a generic block script for the team name (even if it had a historical precedent), and features placket trim that appears nowhere else in their look. I know we throw around the accusation of something looking like a "cheap knock-off" repeatedly, but this is the only uniform set that really deserved it.

As bad as that was it was just an alternate, just to clarify. They might not have even worn it had it existed during that postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep the grey from being too dark and it's fine. If royal and red together are a problem anywhere, it's on the piping. That can go. Names and numbers are fine. Bold opinion: the Cubs shouldn't wear any bear logos on their sleeves at all. Wear the National League patch at home, the primary logo on the road, and probably the NL patch again on the blue (which, yes, should just be a button-down version of the '80s pullover). ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simtek34 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Anybody else scared for the future of MLB uniforms now after seeing how bad Nike is doing the NBA? I mean, the holiday stuff isn't THAT bad. It's only for that holiday/series. But be prepared for new alternates beyond your wields dreams!

BJ Sands Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 On 10/3/2018 at 8:03 PM, insert name said: I would love to see the alternative cap come back for the road uniforms only. You can tell the Cubs' current road jerseys were designed with the red-billed cap in mind. The blue wordmark and names with red numbers worked much better before they were paired with the traditional hat. (That photo you chose pretty neatly sums up the misery of a former Cubs life. I think that's from a 2006 start in Minnesota near the end of the Prior/Baker era.) My ideal Cubs look maintains the current number font but makes these changes: HOME: Keep it as is. ROAD: Current wordmark and names but blue outlined in red. Standard blue numbers with red outlines. No piping on the jersey or pants, because the blue/red combo does look purple from a distance. Walking bear logo on the left sleeve. Basically the current set but everything is blue with a red outline. ALT: Main CUBS logo on the chest and the walking bear logo on the left sleeve of a blue jersey with no piping. Paired with the old red-billed cap (exclusively seen here) and worn only on the road with gray pants. NL patch is gone. Name and numbers are red outlined in white. THROWBACK: 1937 homes that they used once in 2014, worn on alternating Saturday and Sunday afternoons at Wrigley. That's a timeless uniform that doesn't need to be touched. Ever. Right now, only the home set is iconic. The rest can be messed with. (Could somebody mock that up?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
