coco1997 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm liking that horseshoe wrapped around Texas logo for the Rangers. I'm curious what the inspiration behind the black and red color scheme is. I'm also wondering if the Braves set will actually use both royal AND navy blue with red, or if one of the blues is just for the sock design. I'm hoping it's the former. Notice there's a hint of the feather on the sock so I imagine Atlanta's look will be very '70s Hank Aaron-era influenced. And I know it's way too early to tell, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing for Seattle so far. Like the Angels' CC set, it looks to have the building blocks of a solid identity refresh for the Mariners; basically a streamlining of their current scripts and logos. I'm not necessarily advocating for the M's to drop the Northwest green and navy, but I always liked them in blue and gold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you mean, but I've always liked the idea of a retro weekend. Pick an era -- say, the '80s -- and have every team in throwbacks/fauxbacks from that period. Work it into the stadium experience, with throwback video displays, vendor uniforms (and prices?), and do the same (to a degree) with the TV broadcast and commercials. Then do it again each year but with a different era. I bet you'd get a lot of sellouts. I'd watch a whole weekend of games just to get that experience. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwaters1221 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Are the Spring Training/Batting Practice caps staying the same this year? I know there are new logos for the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues but are there any changes to the overall style. There were lots of complaints last year about wearing the trucker style, any word of the material will change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guy says something with a camo design OR the state flag pattern for the O's, though as you said, it's hard to tell from the socks alone. Based off the multi-color pattern on the foot, I might say something city-related, but it's a stretch for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're now limiting MLB teams to only four Jerseys, Home, Road, and two alternates. (Besides City Connect.) Things were starting to get out of hand, with teams having so many alternates. For instance, my Twins, before their rebrand this year, had their Home and Road jerseys, two Home Alternates, a Road Alternate, and a Throwback. AKA we had 6 different Jerseys in the rotation. It's rare when I say "Good Job Nike," but Good Job Nike! https://news.sportslogos.net/2023/01/16/nikes-four-one-plan-for-mlb-uniforms-cards-city-connect-coming-in-2024/baseball/ Marlins be like: "Two alternates?

It seems like it would be some kind of local reference, but it's a part of Baltimore culture I've absolutely no idea about. Anyone have any idea what this pattern could be referring to?

I have to tell you, I HATED the trucker cap designs when I first saw them, and cringed some more when I saw that style was being used for the All-Star Game, too. I could not believe New Era did that. Then, I saw one for my team on sale and bought it. Damn, if it is not the most comfortable cap ever. I ended up getting some of the All-Star Game caps when they were on sale -- and they got really cheap, too, like $14 for the 39 Thirty versions on the MLB page. I'm wearing a Brewers version as I type. I don't want this style to replace the regular season game caps. But I begrudgingly grew to like them for PB. And I loved that the White Sox used the way-old-school logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I can’t figure out the pirates socks and I’ve lived here my whole life. I’m not into the city uniforms, personal preference about team colors/nicknames taking a back seat, but it’s almost a no brainer to do something gold for the golden triangle or (hold your excitement Nike) to do something anthracite for “steel town” (even though the mills are generations gone).

I remember as a kid finding it interesting how some teams used the cheap mesh snapback models of their hats during spring training before switching to the wool fitted caps for the regular season. The switch last year to a higher-quality version of mesh cap brought back those memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that usually the caps are on a 2 year cycle, so in that case they'll remain unchanged. I would think they could change the mesh option, but if theres a change we'll probably see in February.

WSU151 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Batting practice hats all look to be white-panel trucker hats with secondary color under-brim: https://www.mlbshop.com/?pageSize=72&sortOption=NewestArrivals&query=batting practice (the Angels underbrim looks to be black, which is probably a mistake) edit: It looks like Spring Training hats are the same as 2022, but with 2023 logos on the right side: 1 Smart is believing half of what you hear.
