We don't wear the "Twins" navy alternate anywhere but home. All jerseys with gold are worn exclusively at home with the matching hats and pants with gold trim. On the other side of the coin, we only wear the navy "Minnesota" alternate on the road. I could've sworn I saw them wear the gold trimmed navy jersey on the road a couple of times but I'll take your word for it. Still would be good if they made a decision on all of their uniforms having gold or none of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joekono Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I've said since the Padres and Brewers corrected their boring drab uniforms(and added some nostalgia while they were at it) and the Diamondbacks tapered down those terrible uniforms before these, the league has looked the best it has in a loooong time as a whole. Yes, Miami might be a mess but I don't think we are going to see the 1993 uniforms anymore. I think we hopefully won't see any major changes. It's refreshing unlike other leagues(lookin at you NBA) to be able tell what teams are playing. I just would be happy with home, road grays(or powder blues) and a single alternate jersey. Being a Mets fan, there's no need for two blue alternates. So, I've heard the Rockies might do something with their alternate but they got it right the first time, no need to change. The MLB looks really good now. Root for the laundry! https://youtu.be/we-L7w1K5Zo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they say when you try pleasing everyone you end up pleasing no one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's a lot of people that wish for them to get back to the Big Red Machine days, and I do get it--but that's also just too easy and too predictable. I've long loved their team typeface for how modern and at the same time vintage it looks and I'd hate to see them toss that aside in favor of drinking the red nostalgia kool-aid. That said, I think if they keep their current font, strip out all semblance of black, and trim their scripts and numbers to just one-layer, that'd go a long way toward both sharpening and freshening their brand. 12 *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...

There are so many cases (2015 Browns, 2020 Rams, etc) where the “easy” choice for a redesign was neglected in lieu of more “exciting,” or “less predictable” designs. Uniforms shouldn’t surprise fans, they should just look good. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root for the laundry! https://youtu.be/we-L7w1K5Zo One thing that's interesting to me about the Padres and Brewers were the parts of the uniforms that were not nostalgic but radical. One of the great things about the Padres set in particular was that it was able to blend pinstripes and collar/sleeve striping. We haven't seen that widely since the 80's (the Padres had never done anything like that themselves) and the particular path the Padres chose took full advantage of the more current fabric. They also took the path of having two different sets of road pants while maintaining only three regular uniforms. For the Brewers, they made a sharp departure from their uniform history by including a cream uniform. The Brewers came into existence well after fabrics had progressed to the point where even flannels were more white than cream. They furthered that by mixing the cream uniform with double knit style sleeve stripes. Also new was the creation of a vertically arched "Milwaukee" mark, something the team had only ever done in the 90's (their road greys keep looking better to me every time I see them). So while both teams pitched some nostalgia, they also took those uniform in new, hitherto unseen directions. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great description- they put out something new that really feels like the answer to "what if the old style just evolved gradually" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1409 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The Reds feel like the black dropshadows Mets as they don't rely too much on black while featuring just enough of it to drag down their look. They could easily drop it without a major overhaul and go from a blah look to an awesome one as their sets are all perfectly fine if you drop black from the logos, scripts and fonts (and obviously the black brims on the road)... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but the “radical” elements of both of these uniforms are some of the best aspects of them. Both teams took great risks with certain aspects of their uniforms that weren’t as nostalgic, but the risks turned out wonderfully, in my opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBomb Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'd still love to see the Padres introduce a home alternate brown top with the team name in gold across the chest. To me, that would complete their look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so. I'm ready to basically restock my entire line of Cleveland baseball gear in one big purchase. New hat, jersey, shirt, hoodie, pullover, jacket, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're asking whether they should unveil their new uniforms, they did when they announced their new name (think their old uniforms with all lettering taken off and replaced with the new lettering). As for when they will go on sale, it would be in their best interest to get them in stores in the next two weeks. 1 The (unofficial) NHL Uniform DatabaseThe WHA Uniform Database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
