It was the leaked one with forest green, not flag crap (unpopular opinion - Denver flag > Colorado flag). As long as purple and green don’t touch, we’re good. 2 MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Unless I’m missing something, the hats in these pictures appear to be the Spring Training design from the trucker hats, but on regular 5950s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins93 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 There was a lot of speculation that the Rockies were getting some kind of [partial] rebranding or at least some new stuff just because the owner Dick Monfort told a fan on social media to expect a "new uniform." Some misconstrued this as "new uniforms." It seems pretty likely now that he was just referring to the City Connect. I'm not sure why we didn't piece that together sooner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not really anything more that can be said, and it just makes me angry to even think about it so I'm not going to post more about it, until the next time I post about it. One thing I don't understand is why it had to be collectively bargained, unless the players wanted a cut of a new revenue stream. I thought that wasn't the case, and that the money was going to the owners (and presumably trickling to the players through the higher CBT, which we all know won't actually happen.) 1 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Nope, had to be white It's an odd quirk of design with one-color marks on items alongside multi-color logos. Do you go with the most prominent color in the logo, or the outtermost, since that's what was chosen to sit on the background color? The white maker's mark was what Majestic also went with at least from the late 00's on. Similar things play out on caps (Minnesota, Boston, Seattle, Colorado). On 12/1/2021 at 1:49 PM, ManillaToad said: It has nothing to do with "muh tradition muh sanctity" and has everything to do with it looking worse aesthetically. NFL jerseys would look worse with the checkmark on the front instead of the sleeves NFL uniforms already have some small marks on the chest. Always a wordmark. Sometimes others like anniversary patches and the Chiefs' AFL patch. A tiny swoosh would barely be noticeable in the same location.

They went with California because they moved to Anaheim and wanted both markets. Same reason the Twins went with Minnesota.

Here are renderings. Huh... The ballpark that inspired a thousand ridiculous outfield jogs finally has one of its own. On 2/22/2022 at 9:25 AM, SilverBullet1929 said: The concept of the ST caps is pretty close to the Marlins' usual aesthetic so their cap is probably one of the best for this style as it's not something out of the box for them. This concept is gonna work great for some teams but not as well for others but thankfully it's not as dumb as so many recent ST/BP designs. Love the look. Haven't realized until seeing it now (maybe it's the proportion of this specific logo), but it's funny the team strives to go for a neon light aesthetic when I associate neon in baseball with another team, one in their very division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know exactly why it had to be collectively bargained, as I don't know how much say the players even have over uniforms. The reason the players allowed ads is presumably because it was used as a bargaining chip, because the owners are a bunch of billionaire psychopaths and the only way to assuage them when they don't get everything they want is to give them more money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glover Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Sorry if this has already been discussed, but it looks like someone may have talked some sense into the Guardians with the fonts of the NOB. This looks so much better than using the custom font used in the second picture. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard MLB Block does have a slight edge though with some odder naming conventions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate Cleveland for wanting to do something different in trying to reinvent themselves, but the regular NOB font just looks better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
