That felt like a unique enough spin on the color scheme, though I always thought a darker red would have complemented the midnight blue nicely and set them off from the Twins a bit more. That would work too, though I don't think of the Twins as a red team, either (as much as I like the TC alternate). I also need one of them to commit to 1991-style vertical arched wordmarks on their aways and the other can stick with script. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It features on all the other jerseys and it's subtraction makes the navy one look more like a plain BP jersey. I think this is an instance where consistency creates inconsistency. All their uniforms use navy piping, including the navy jersey, so it essentially has none. They've used red and gray in the past, and I think I prefer the former It's also interesting that the navy jerseys were the main look during their 2016 run but since they've shifted to red at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Here's a comparison from the last 3 iterations (showing them all on the road since that's how the navy is primarily worn now): IMO, the piping would make the current ones so much better. 1 https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I'm saying the navy was dominant in the identity back then. The red jersey is newer but it's become the favored look. If I'm not mistaken, we hadn't had a red jersey since like the 80s.

The red jersey is newer but it's become the favored look. If I'm not mistaken, we hadn't had a red jersey since like the 80s. Remember that the old, script style navy jersey was originally intended to be the away alternate and the block script cream uniform would be the home alternate when that set took over in 2012. That's why the script navy jersey had grey trim long after it became a staple of home games years later. Some time in either 2015 or 2014, Cleveland added the further wrinkle of wearing red undershirts at home, reserving blue for away. In 2019 when the old primary mark was removed from the jersey and the block C became the full-time cap logo, the team streamlined the overall identity. Navy became the lone color for socks and baselayers. I suspect that the decision to leave the new block script navy jersey effectively blank was due to an interest in matching all four jerseys in terms of trim. None of the four have trim different from the navy soutache on the pants (on the navy jersey navy trim would just blend in). I think the red jersey allowed the team to still have more red at home while still maintaining consistency across the identity and it enabled the team to have a home alternate where the script matched the standard home jersey.

Carolingian Steamroller Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Weirdly, I like the new Guardians all navy jersey better than old one despite the two being substantially identical. Maybe the serifs really add some pizazz my eyes needed? Maybe the white outline on the cap is doing something? I don't know but it's how I feel. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing this does make me a little jealous that my Braves got stuck with a generic World Series cap patch that didn’t even mention the year, in addition to no sleeve patch. Oh well, such was the supply chain world at the time. It was still a clean look, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adsarebad Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 On 10/12/2022 at 9:08 PM, PlayGloria said: I always thought the best route for both Cleveland and Washington was to keep a Native American theme and most of their current branding, but shift the name and images to something that not only appeases the PC police, but honors tribes. I think it would be possible to turn what some people view as derogatory branding into a positive for everyone. I don't think I have a specific example on the top of my head, but you could lose the name Indians, change it to the name of a tribe (Apache, Cherokee, etc), and then dedicate profits of new merch to certain organizations for Native Americans. The organization could use the branding to promote education about Native American history. Instead of running from the past all of the time and acting like it didn't exist, maybe use it as a building block to something better. Maybe instead of the cartoony laughing "Indian," they could incorporate some real Native American imagery. IDK, JMO. Also, I can't believe the Blackhawks just keep under the radar with all of this. Their logo is almost the same as Washington's old logo. It's almost comical. Both Was. and Chicago's logo are beautifully made logos, depicting an Indian/native american...... the problem was not the logo, it was Washington's name. If the name had to go, so did the logo. Re. Cleveland, it was the other way around, terrible logo, good name. And tribe names? Cant really be done since so many military aircrafts already are named after them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigFiz21 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 One thing to keep in mind: this is the one and only postseason Thursday for the Phils this year. I anticipate some serious concern and debate over this within our thread if they are in position to clinch the title tomorrow. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I gotta say, the Phillies' dedication to a uniform scheduled rotation even in 2022 is admirable. Pleasingly ordered. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 God, that would rule to see the Phillies clinch in the powder and maroon throwbacks. Only other times I can remember a Championship game/round with throwbacks are the NBA Finals when the Nets wore the throwbacks vs the Spurs, and when the Niners won the Super Bowl in the 94 throwback set. 2 On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)
