BC985 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Does anyone ever see someone wear the all-star game merch outside the team hosting the game? It is easy for me to say this is overkill but maybe it does get worn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The workout hats with the team-specific color stripes are pretty nice…it’s an interesting idea. 3 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Old School Fool Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Team color All Star hats are the way to go. Not sure why they don't just have individual jerseys for the game and special hats, I think that would be a much better deal. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 2014-2019 that was what they did and it was a great way to still keep the wonderful assortment of looks while also connecting to the city they were playing in. Some were better than others, but I enjoyed that era of ASG looks (I'm still punching myself for not getting the panel front Twins hat from 2014) 1 Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m misremembering. Update: There was this set...which I don't think was really ever worn, which was in blue and orange: But the 2017 ASG (which I think were the actual game hats) also had team color hats in this pattern, which were pretty nice though seemed to be better suited for the LA game than the Miami game: 3 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

They had black hats for the derby, and then the gold logos for the game. Not my favorite year of the uniform ASG hats. I was a much bigger fan of 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019 hats 1 Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green27 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I really just want the consistent pattern of team Home/Away uniform and fun local host inspired cap. Plain uniforms with a side patch is lame. Going all-in on host team branding can be fun, but easily goes too far in the direction of local beer league uni IMO Going with a totally new/random design like the last several years is also bad IMO. Wearing the team uniform with a patch and a special host-themed hat really works for me. This hits the perfect sweet spot of team-recognition and fun host-theming (and will help drive merch sales, which we know are key). 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realize until now how ad patches are going to further mess things up when we do the All-Star Game. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean people in Vegas won't show up to games. They're moving because of the crappy stadium. Not because people didn't show up when they traded players. okay, got it....... still, it's not a completely crazy idea that trading your best players again and again could drive just a tiny bit of the fans away .

Or they finally can afford to ad that pitcher you always wanted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be shocked if the name changed. Not commenting on your other question because that's off topic, so will only add - Viva Las Vegas! So here is the thing...if you're gonna stay the "A's" and move to Vegas. The city connect should be so obvious... 1. Either you are putting the "A's" capital "A" in the corner of an enlarged playing card, with an elephant in the center (or) 2. Or your logo is an enlarged poker chip with the green/yellow dashes around the outside, and baseball stitches, And "A's" in the center of the chip Either way, back of the CC jersey should be a poker hand of 5 green/yellow/white [fanned out] playing cards, with the number in the center of the top one, and an "A" in the corners (for Aces). 3 5-time Defending NL East Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't anticipate the changes will be major though, I think at most we'll se a change full-time to kelly green, maybe some stripes on the sleeves & pants, and an updated primary logo. I wouldn't want them to switch to Vegas gold, and I don't think they will. It would just look way too drab to me, it works for the Milwaukee Bucks, but not the A's. Maybe they could call it Vegas gold, but still keep it the same shade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 well, the obvious reason for multiple hats and jerseys are for merchandise purposes, but I can picture a big conference call where owners and companies are complaining that “if you wear the regular uniforms, the quickcrete guy gets more exposure cause more braves made it” I’m curious to see the game uniforms cause it’s listed as a mint color and both leagues are using the same cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Not a fan of the "PGH" abbreviation, but these are actually pretty solid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCdog Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The Y represents the 3 Rivers (a la Chicago) but what does the square shape signify? Not a fan of the PGH abbreviation. I understand probably not wanting to use Steel City (due to the Steelers) but why not use “Three Rivers?” Would’ve been a good call back to the former home (Three Rivers Stadium), in addition to a moniker for the city. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Burgh probably would have been a decent option too. PGH definitely seems lazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
