It's hard to tell with the side shadow. Non-cursive numerals with thicker verticals than horizontals tend to bug me. The verticals are thicker than the horizontals, and it’s exaggerated by the side shadow (because it adds weight to only the verticals). You should reconsider your position on thicker verticals, though; that’s the proper way to proportion type and 99% of letterforms are built that way even if it’s not as noticeable as it is on Atlanta’s type.

Difference between type and jersey font though. On type it’s supposed to resemble the quill nib. To my eyes it just doesn’t look right on a jersey, especially since players often lean forward which Compresses the numbers vertically and accentuates the different widths.

I’m not talking just handwriting-inspired type. I’m talking all type, even type that’s designed to look uniform, geometric, or monoweight has thicker verticals, including many block uniform numbers.

Numbering like the Falcons and Patriots (old) still look bad to me. Maybe those fonts are overcorrecting? The fonts in the article had very subtle differences in length. The goal seems to be a font that looks even on all sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're watching other people play a kids game, you're not even playing it yourself. But somehow wearing the shirt of the team you like is crossing the line. I think most of the "no jerseys for adults" crowd supports a team hat, t-shirt, etc. but mocks the idea of the jersey because "you look like you think you play for the team." I'm all for "wear what you want." I did sort of drift away from wearing jerseys as I started navigating adulthood, but I tend to wear them to games of my teams. I don't see anything wrong with that (or wearing them to the grocery store, if that's your thing). Jerseys (more than logos) are the primary reason I'm here. And I have a couple that I consider to be the best garments I own...No it doesn't mean I'll wear one, instead of a suit, to a funeral, but to wear my Wild jersey to a Wild game? I do that with no shame. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

daniel75 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Just don’t wear a teams jersey to a game they’re not even playing in. I’m only half joking cause what you wear doesn’t bother me, but at the same time it’s just strange imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I guess they're supporting the sport/league but it looks odd either way. For example, I know a guy who's a hardcore Bears fan, but if he goes to a local Bucs game (and they're playing someone other than the Bears) he would wear Bucs gear. He's not going to wear his Bears jersey to a game they're not playing in, so he does it right in my book. I just dont understand the people that don't follow that logic lol.

Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

That's definitely how it should be. Either wear a team that's playing or pull a Rob Lowe and wear an NFL shield hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
