BBTV Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I hate the tail that doesn't connect to the script. The opening on the left is too wide too. It really only resembles a traditional baseball script by the barest of threads.

They desperately need to fix the home set and use the updated retro script with pinstripes. The Twins really need to just go back to the metrodome unis. They really haven't looked right since they ditched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Wind of Doom Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 On 3/26/2021 at 6:34 PM, BBTV said: I don't see any issue with a team named the Royals wearing gold. They should have had it on their uniforms a long time ago. I might scale it back though - keep it on the number and lose it from the script. Or make the number blue again and use the gold trim on both script and number. The thing is their classic look is so good and clean and beautiful. Much like the Mets, Braves, Cardinals, and Red Sox homes I'm fine with them experimenting elsewhere as long as the old classics are still the primary home uniform. Some may say that's because it's ripping off another classic look, but that still leaves it looking great.

Anything more than that is diverting too far from the Mets visual identity IMO. With the Nike Influenced doomsday (probably) on the horizon I can see this getting out of hand quick. I'm praying that the MLB doesn't turn into an NBA-esq disaster. The black era was a... well... black spot on the franchise because they're beautiful homes were effected. It bled everywhere. If it can be contained, it can be okay. In all this talk I've been thinking about what makes the black uniforms themselves not look too bad. And I realized that it has a neon aesthetic to it. It reminds me of the top of the Shea Stadium scoreboard which now sits over Shake Shack and Blue Smoke in Citi Field But that led to another realization. All the talk over the last two identities of the Marlins going black-first in their jerseys and caps in an attempt to emulate the neon of Miami and the Mets backed into a neon look. It think the difference between the two is actually the extra colors. Going a barely distinguishable blue for the lettering and two brighter colors for the outline makes it stand out and emulates the varying shades and shadows created by neon whereas the bright white lettering or the double lettering in dark colors without white being one in the two Marlins attempts either make it unreadable or kill the attempt at emulating neon.

Where I'd be worried is if the Mets came out in red and yellow uniforms for some random named reason. The stupid nba system will always be a worry when dealing with Nike. (Still Hate that they got the contract.) Agh! Until this very moment I completely forgot the fact that in the middle of their doldrum years when no one was paying attention the Pirates spent years throwing red into their look for no reason. Horrifying flashbacks. On 4/1/2021 at 12:40 AM, MNtwins3 said: People keep saying the Twins and Yankees use the same color hat, but I just can't believe it. The Yankees navy is almost black, while the Twins is still distinctly navy It's all about contrast. Navy on white (Dark and Light) vs. Navy with white and red (Dark and Darker and White) On 4/1/2021 at 11:24 AM, WSU151 said: The reports I read are all kind of unofficial and written when Aaron died, so I might be mistaken. The patch could be put on the front (upper shoulder) or in another spot on the sleeves, depending on size. Over the heart like the Yankees did when George died. That might be tough with their script and tomahawk, though. 15 hours ago, BBTV said: I hate the tail that doesn't connect to the script. The opening on the left is too wide too. It really only resembles a traditional baseball script by the barest of threads. It's made to match the logo/home wordmark where the tail is not a tail but an underline of the word "win" in the center. Would it be better to have contrasting styles? I'm honestly asking, as I'm not sure myself. 11 hours ago, selgy said: Not UNI related. But MLB. For those of you who have Bally Sports (They took over for Fox sports through the Disney purchasing and Disney needing to sell off due to a monopoly and Sinclair broadcasting not wanting their name on the channel so they sold the rights to Bally...well anyways...) What is everyones take on their ticker/in game boxscore? I hate it. It looks like it was designed in 1998 at the beginning of the technology. It's Bally. They do gambling. They built this to give information on all sports scores to cater to gambling. It's just like when ESPN started creeping the odds into sidebars of shows. It has nothing to do with aesthetics. It's about giving information and keeping people "in the action". They could at least keep it at the top of the screen like previous scorebug bars did.

It looks terrible - not sure if it's glue or stitching that's left behind, but they may need to get all new jerseys for their next road trip. EDIT: Yeah, well I'm not surprised because of this "cool base" bull crap. The material is so cheap and I wonder if they even sell a lot of the authentic jerseys as compared to replicas. They probably can't take the patch off with a seam ripper for fear of ripping the cheap material. I used to love the feel of the heavier authentic jerseys and you felt like you got your moneys worth. The NHL is no better when you can see every bit of the equipment a player is wearing under his white jersey. Good post BBTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCalderwood Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I have some tolerance for a Braves player wearing yellow/gold accessories like that. At least it looks like a color that's in their logo and on the front of their jersey, and not some random color that has no connection. It's not, like, a "neon" yellow (THAT would look pretty bad). At least for the shoes, I read this in an mlb.com article from 2019 - "Players may wear shoes displaying, in any proportion: the colors black, white or gray; any colors displayed on the player's uniform (and certain variations of those colors); and any additional colors designated by the player's club." So I am guessing that yellow/gold matches what's in the Braves logo. Makes a hell of a lot more sense than other stuff we've seen, like a Mets player wearing volt sleeves, for example.

BBTV Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 "all gold everything" except for literally everything except the outlines.
