lahaye7 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Giants wore them last night, looked brighter than their usual orange. Drop the GG on the cap and add a smidge of slate/ gray ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE UNI and these would be ok.

FiddySicks Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 These are so frustratingly close to being something I would like. The bridge sleeves translated really well and the overall simplification of the look played well for them. Just pair these with a black cap, ditch the absolutely stupid gradients or at least change the outlines from gray to black, and either just use the GIANTS block script on the front or the cursive San Francisco script and these are in the very least a solid look when it has to be used.

MattMill Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 It feels like Nike is so so close to wanting to use full sublimated jerseys. I know the dbacks had gradients in parts of their jersey years ago. But looking at that Niners jersey concept a page back, layered clouds seems 100 times better that splatter gradient. Is a full gradient jersey upon us? I /we know it’s happened with the Miami heat but in baseball? It would be a first I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Giants uniform actually looks orange, similar to the aerospace version, while the other two (to my eyes) clearly are shades of red in comparison.

There are people who see gothic style font and associate it with gangs and criminality because they've seen criminals and gang members with gothic font tattoos. Not in a gang. Live close to a city with a lot of gang activity. Gothic font isn't exclusive to black gangs though. White, Hispanic, and Black gangs have/will use gothic font in their tattoos. I haven't used the term gang activity as a euphemism, dog whistle or synonym for black people or black culture. Ah, yes. The sweet smell of glorifying gang culture… I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I'll say this much concerning the Giants' new alternates: it gave us all a GREAT visual of what a primary orange-and-white team would look like in MLB. (Looking at you, Houston Astros.) That said...the fog thing ain't working. They need to nix that idea, like quick. Solid-color orange works way better. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheo25 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I'd be fine with the Astros switching to orange caps and orange undershirts at home like they did in the early 1970s and for Saturday home games when they first introduced the current uniform set. The look on the road with navy caps and undersleeves are perfect except I wish they would return to the navy caps with the orange bills, which is what they used to wear on the road before slowly going to the solid navy caps late in 2017.

I'm almost wondering if the morons at Nike picked the wrong shade of international orange for these jerseys. Because it looks suspiciously like the first one that's definitely NOT the shade used on the Golden Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere do they say they changed the color, and the MLB.com article indicates just the opposite. Quote The jersey puts focus on the Giants’ orange color and features a white background in addition to light grey trim on the front and back. San Francisco's gradient “G” logo pays homage to the city’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge, and the historical landmark makes appearances across the jersey’s sleeves as well as the side of the uniform’s orange cap.

Even if it's a new color, if they were trying to match the bridge I would expect that to have been front and center in the press releases. It's too good an idea not to play up.
