SilverBullet1929 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Suggestion, what if the Cubs outlined the Wrigleyville letters in red? That would mimmick the white letters being against the red sign, obviously it's the red of the 6 point stars as well, and of course it would provide a spark of color to the whole uniform.

These may replace the orange Bears alternate as the "keep an eye on this guy, he's about to do something really dumb" jersey. I thought that was the green St. Paddy's Day Blackhawks counterfeit.

Gotta say, I'm a little peeved about the Cubs in navy. I have to believe the Brewers decision to retain navy was at least in part to not step on toes and be another royal team in the NL Central. The Cubs may have worn navy at a time when pretty much every team was navy or red, but they've been royal blue for a good century now. It'd be one thing if the Marlins added random colors (ironically, their City Connect jerseys were quite tame), but not a club with as much history as the Cubs. They didn't have to overthink this. Something like a royal jersey swapping out the Cubs circle for the Municipal Device would have been perfectly fine. The City Connect unis are currently sitting with a .500 OPS.

In the Brewers case, it was their royal pinstriped fauxbacks that were selling more than any other of their jerseys. Also, you'd have to think there would be a powder blue uniform with the new set if it were strictly about what sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The Cubs have been trying to backdoor their way into navy blue merchandise for like 20 years. They had navy/royal/red BP gear for a while as a way to justify selling navy hats. It looked like crap. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If I had to guess a reason for using navy blue, I would say they wanted to use the sky blue from the flag and navy is just better for contrast. Same reason the Blue Jays powder blues use navy not royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not what I was told. The pinstripes have been the second-best sellers, behind the navy “Milwaukee” jerseys. Which is why the Brewers finally put the city name back on the road jerseys after two decades. And likewise, the navy caps have been top sellers over the past couple years. Now, the cynic in me says that’s because they were new and the royal caps have been around for fifteen years and everybody already bought five or ten, but . 22 hours ago, NicDB said: Also, you'd have to think there would be a powder blue uniform with the new set if it were strictly about what sells. Don't have any explanation for that one, either than owners tend to think they know best sometimes. But calling it now - City Connect. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
