The birds on bat is fancy enough without needing any other flourishes. I completely agree. The piping is completely unnecessary for that uniform.

I'm a Cards fan and i have thought that since the day they debuted. Could not agree more. Good mock up too. I think the goal was for it to be the road/blue version of the white St. Louis jersey. But for some reason the piping doesn't work well with the blue. I still dig the uniform, but that small change would perfect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCalderwood Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 7 hours ago, guest23 said: The examples cited by other posters using real data suggests that your point is not corroborated by what is currently practiced. If alternates are worn more than primaries and there is no action taken by the league we can conclude that the league does not take the designations seriously. As I sort of said in my post, what this all boils down to is what your definition of a primary jersey is. Your definition of an primary jersey appears to just be "whatever jersey the team wears more often." I've just never thought of it that way. I always thought that teams had designated primary and alternate jerseys, regardless of which jersey they wear more often. It has nothing to do with the league not "taking action" against teams who overwear their alternates. Like I said with the NBA, they took primary logo designations seriously, but they didn't care which logos teams actually used more often in practice. Teams were allowed to use their alternate logos for everything if they wanted to, but they could not designate them as their primary logo unless they paid a hefty fee. I would guess the MLB is kind of the same way. I don't think they care how often a team wears their alternate... but it's still "an alternate." The main sportslogos.net page lists that black Marlins jersey as an alternate, even though they wore it way more often than their gray road jersey. So either you agree with that designation, or you think the website is wrong. You can think whatever you want, I am not trying to convince you of anything. I don't know where we would be able to get an official correct answer on this, other than contacting MLB or specific teams. But the crux of the issue is what the definition of a primary jersey is, not which jersey they wore more often. I'm not disputing any of your "real data." But I am questioning if just wearing a jersey more often "makes" it the team's official primary jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptay Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Speaking of primaries/alternates, can anyone figure out what the Nationals' uniform 'system' is supposed to be, especially at home? They've worn their red and blue jerseys multiple times, their white 'Nationals' jerseys multiple times paired with the white-panel cap, and they've worn the decade-old Curly W jerseys with traditional red cap multiple times. The only thing that is obvious is their road grey jerseys. Beyond that, I've never seen a team start a season with so many uniform combinations. They're basically an NBA team at this point.

First of all, the title is clearly a joke. But more importantly, the pine tar is only really really visible on the logo, making it appear as a regular helmet with a gold logo.

When you're a 50-something or older person who just wants to coach the game they love, yet you have to cram your retiree-bod into a uniform just to satisfy a rule from circa Reconstruction, you can probably bet you're barely suiting up more than necessary day in and day out.

Gothamite Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 20 hours ago, LMU said: Ideally the Dodgers would just rip the piping off the Los Angeles away jerseys and call it a day. As was said on Unified with Ross Yoshida the alternate gray jersey came about after the Australia game when it was pointed out that the Dodger brand was nowhere to be found since they wore two LAs and a "Los Angeles" wordmark. So, I'd prefer a sans-piping Los Angeles away uniform but I could see the issue and in which case I'd advocate for the LA sleeve patch to be replaced by the primary logo roundel. You mean this alternate logo? I'd gladly put this on the sleeve if it would mean "Los Angeles" on all road jerseys. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

SilverBullet1929 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I'm not sure why there's a question about jersey designations. It has nothing to do with real practice, the teams can wear whatever they want but when uniforms are released teams normally say which is primary and which is alternate. What they do after that doesn't change the official designations. My drivers license lists my primary address but if I decide to go sleep at my friend's house 5 days a week that doesn't change my primary address unless I actually change it on my drivers license. The practice doesn't change the official designation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Both Kansas City and Los Angeles would look better with the city name in plain block rather than a script with tail (kinda like how KC used to do.) If they want to go with scripts, then Dodgers and Royals looks better than their two-word city names.

BBTV Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Would look better without the tail. Tails shouldn't go under two words. And is that a vertically-arched script?
