coco1997 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 See, this City Connect set is why I felt it was the wrong move for Seattle to drop their gray road jersey instead of their Sunday home alts. They now have two separate looks in their rotation that are royal blue and athletic gold, despite the team’s primary colors being Northwest green and navy. Dumb. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played there for 2 years. @Silent Wind of Doom rather than just giving me a facepalm, is Flushing in the Bronx? I don't know, because I don't know enough about New York to know. If it is, I have less an issue with it, If it isn't, then they clearly haven't been there for 100 years. Yes, it would still be the 100th anniversary of Yankee Stadium, but not their home for 100 years, since they didn't play in it for all of that time. It's where I sit.

The blue and yellow is classic & I like the beveled number font which sort of matches the styling of the compass rose. I really hope they don’t go with blue pants, but I fear they probably will. I don’t really care for the sleeve logo, but it’s not horrible. If you look closely in the first two pictures you can see a little bit of the front word mark. I think it may well be the same as what’s on the leaked shirt below, but it seems to have pointed serifs and a black drop shadow to match the number styling. I really, really, really hope that My Oh My detail ends up on a shirt somehow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ain’t a city connect, it’s a reverse retro. At least it’s decent and fits with the overall branding but this further blurs the line between us being a teal/blue team or a blue/gold team. I really thought they would go with a green/white Washington State Ferries theme. Methinks they noticed how well loved the Kraken RR’s were and wanted a piece of the action. No one in Seattle is nostalgic for the Pilots… and there are better actual “city”connect ideas like using the city flag, or ferries, grunge, Mount Rainier (which they did a little in this set), pike place, etc. 1 My teamsNCAA: Washington StateMLB: Seattle MarinersNFL: Seattle SeahawksNBA: Portland TrailblazersEPL: Liverpool FCMLS: Seattle Sounders FCNHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there will be in one of the small details once the set is officially unveiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle has so much visual identity to draw from, and they just went with "we used to have the Pilots." Space Needle, Mt. Rainier, Pike Place, you name it. Personally I was hoping for Pike Place inspired neon red lettering on a slate blue (or navy) jersey with elements of the Seattle Rainiers mixed in. Maybe a cool Space Needle patch on the sleeve. I think the leaked CC is visually appealing, but doesn't feel like a CC jersey. The Reverse Retro comment is spot on. 1 https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word mark is inspired by the old Seattle Pilots mark but the rigid edges, pointed serifs, and beveling all pretty clearly nod to the trident and compass rose. The sleeve logo again has the font inspired by the Pilots, but they’re still nodding to the trident and compass rose at the same time: I appreciate that they’re telling a “baseball in Seattle” story instead of a “10 things to do in Seattle” touristy approach. I would’ve been in favor of using the Seattle flag as inspo and going with a more familiar teal-centric look, but I think this is probably the next best thing. I do fear that they’ll go with blue pants, but I think the jerseys themselves are really pretty solid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it would still be the 100th anniversary of Yankee Stadium, but not their home for 100 years, since they didn't play in it for all of that time. I was going to comment on the Phillies alt, but realized in the midst of working on a public speaking engagement that I'd forgotten they not only did wear the red jerseys previous in the season, but they wore them in a series I'd watched. It had been later enough and two other conversations exploded that I didn't want to respond to both, but also didn't want it to look like I was ignoring your points, especially since someone had earlier made the same reference without a response, which I didn't respond to because the first time I didn't think it had anything to do with the discussion. You more explained the point rather than just saying "What about those two years?" But I thought you might have been being disingenuous. Nevertheless, I didn't make the comment anyway and forgot because of how busy I was. But if you're having your house fumigated and you stay at your nephew's house it doesn't become your home. Your home is your home. They played there, but I don't think anyone involved considered it to be their home. I'm sure someone can search the origins of the "Bronx Bombers" moniker and if it was used during their two years playing games in Queens. But I just got done with a large project and I am going to turn my brain off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time I fumigate my house and tear it down and rebuild it over the course of two years, your example will be valid. They haven't been home in the Bronx for 100 years. The patch is fine - this is the 100th anniversary of Yankee Stadium. how they presented it was the issue, because they haven't been in that home (Yankee Stadium in the Bronx) for 100 years It's where I sit.

upperV03 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Did my best to recreate the wordmark (sans beveling) and sleeve logo from the leaked Mariners City Connect jersey. I think some of the mountain details in the sleeve logo will be a bit different, but overall I think these are pretty good recreations. I didn’t have time today, but I may work on mocking up the full jersey and some hat options this weekend. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
