M4One Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 While nobody was happy that the Blue Jays went BFSB, I will say that this road jersey was pretty nice. I'm happy that they went back to the updated retro look, but I think they could have made the black work a little better if blue was still the dominant colour, especially on the home set.

I think black, used very sparingly like on outlines and maybe a black-brimmed/ blue crowned alternate hat, while keeping blue as the dominant color, could have looked really good. I too prefer the current set, but the Black Jays look could have been pretty good too. Keep the undershirts, socks, and hats blue, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I will always maintain that the Graphite Jays era had the perfect color scheme and ruined it with the worst possible execution of it. That shade of blue they used back then was beautiful in person and criminally underused. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 You can make a sound argument that the Sabres should have never changed their original look but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate this set for its own merits. Everything about this set is sharp & decisive and the realistically styled Bison-head looks great as an embroidered crest. The angular stripes also do a nice job of framing the logo without overpowering it. If these were the uniforms of a Bison-based expansion-team, I'm sure they would have far less detractors.

Just meh on the Goat head but my issue is with the color scheme. Make those Royal Blue and Gold and I don't think most people have a problem with it, I could be wrong. I know one person from Buffalo (old Navy buddy of mine but he lives in North Carolina now (work)) and he wants the Sabres in nothing but the Original look. IF it's not the Original look, he doesn't like it. Like here in Pittsburgh, most people didn't mind the Uniform Design being changed, However they had a HUGE problem with the Logo being changed. IF you take the Skating Penguin and simply put it on the '92/'93 Uniform Design, I don't think the backlash is as great as it was for the pigeon logo + Uniform Design being overhauled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that, but it's the use of both "Seahawk blue" AND navy that grinds my gears, and they were just barely distinguishable from each other anyway.

It’s not the OG look, but on it’s own, without considering the original look, it’s a decent set. It would be very interesting to see how it would be tweaked, if they decided to keep the look into the Reebok edge. And maybe even further at that point...

I remember this template was the one seemingly every other minor hockey organization wore during that time period. Mine did. Even if they didn't wear red black and silver they'd still use this striping with their own scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmdoublem Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Generally, I'm not a fan of the gold drop shadows on the SF Giants' uniform sets, but I have a couple of exceptions. For instance, one would be their Orange Friday jerseys. Another would be these Spring Training/BP uniforms worn from 2003-2006: While the jerseys looked fine paired with the ST/BP cap from that era (seen above), I think they looked even better with the standard "SF" lid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Absolutely on the Sabres. They switched to those around when I started to really pay attention, and I was young enough to think they were really cool. I can understand the dislike coming from such a drastic change.

TaipeiJoey101YT Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 These old Angels unis are real cool. The Angels should use navy blue more often. The current logo would look amazing on this cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It eventually turned into a dumpster fire in the following years, but this was sharp. Also, check out the hams that Mr. Heatley was hiding under his socks, trying to pass them off as shin pads. Gear in this era looked so awkward. The Thrashers were just underrated in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 There's a whole galaxy of underrated/underappreciated college basketball uniforms...but this is still in my top 5 of favorite CBB unis ever: I could probably pick out 50-60 college basketball unis from the 90s that should return. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an attractive shade of blue for sure (I'd have to poke around at hex values but I think I could argue for them using a slightly lighter shade of that blue over standard royal or navy as their base color today), but the grey and black didn't belong there at any level. I'm not a big fan of messing with color schemes, and I think the Blue Jays had a really good thing going with blue, a lighter blue, and red. Same with the original logo concept, they shouldn't have gotten away from that either.

I have a few tweaks in mind for the Sabres (no white trim on yellow numbers or on the breezers, just straight yellow on blue; varsity serif nameplates), but the fundamentals never should have changed. I don't look to Buffalo for modernity. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor/Pantone/Colorwerx/Miguel Sanchez/Dr. Nguyen Van Phuoc marked the hex value down as #004B87/PMS 301C: Pairing that with navy would be a nice way to keep a tiny bit of the Black Jays alive. Granted, I tried to do a concept to make the "Black Jays" work. It's got potential to be OK. Just OK, not any better than that. I'm thinking of redoing it with some of the "unused assets" from Phoenix Design Works' (yes, that company did the Black Jays) site: I'd never use that awful number font, as it's offensively ugly.

Digby Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I’m more concerned with how that era of Blue Jays used several different typefaces, all of them awful. But the color scheme wasn’t right, either. given the most recent updates, do the Rangers have the closest thing to the classic Jays color scheme? I’ve always loved the multi blue plus a punch of red, would like to see a DC team use it maybe. I don’t mind the current Jays’ minimizing the red.
