Silent Wind of Doom Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 10 hours ago, Ferdinand Cesarano said: The real real answer: 10 hours ago, Ferdinand Cesarano said: The building is so grandiose that it cannot adequately be captured in pictures. You really have to go there and just marvel at its splendour. From all angles — including from within, in the passages to the internal courtyard — it is breathtaking. I've never been so awed by any other work of art. It and the layout of the city with the central streets and the grand diagonal to the art museum are works of art. I love the city. And considering my other favorite is Notre Dame de Paris (the third is the Forbidden City but wear and modern photography and other issues are dulling my taste for it), I regard it highly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC = statue of liberty (I think), Chicago has the stars from the flag, LA? Houston? New Orleans I guess the fleur de lis, Atlanta? down-low brothers I think the Liberty Bell is kinda neat. It's impressive but flawed, just like Philadelphia, just like America. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 And away we go! One of the first on field looks we have seen at spring training. Also, I’m wondering if the perforated numbers will be a team by team decision, instead of a league wide thing. We saw the Braves a week or two ago with the non perforated numbers and I assumed they were using old number stock. But now a few of the Nike Elite jerseys are starting to hit retailers. So far, the only clubs I’ve seen with the perforated numbers are the Dodgers and D Backs (below). The retail Nike image includes that number style for them, but regular numbers for most teams. This gives me hope teams have a choice. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope more than anything that the perforated numbers are optional, & that the Twins in particular opt out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some observations... 1) I know it's just a rendering, but the Phillies NOB seems especially small. 2) The belt tunnels look really bad...but hey, Nike saved $0.25 per pair of pants that way! 3) Aesthetic screw-ups aside, those Dodgers jerseys look really poorly made. I doubt these are going to wear well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike's thing is usually "why have one seam when we can have six?" With the MLB template, though, there's less of everything: narrower placket, simpler belt tunnels (albeit with the odd angles), smaller NOBs, Orioles' front number change, enforced standardization, no venting, no diaper tail. It seems like instead of trying to beat the knockoffs, they're imitating the knockoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans1127 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Nike could have just left everything from the Majestic template but removed the side panels and diaper and it would have been a huge win. Instead, we got some moronic changes that really make zero sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Padres are the second team whose pitchers and catchers have reported. It’s hard to see, but zooming in, it would appear they have the perforated numbers. Barely noticeable, though. Having seen a few of these teams so far, the MLB logo and name size isn’t really bothering me. I think the only thing that will take getting used to is the sleeve trim on a couple clubs. But I think on the whole, the Nike update is largely overblown. All other team’s pitchers and catchers report either the 14th or 15th, so we will get a look at everyone else in the next few days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
