SportsFan12 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 These Blue Jays City Connects look worse every time I see them. Just abysmal that someone approved these things. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Wind of Doom Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 7 hours ago, Dynasty said: That cap logo feels super forced. The style of both the LA and D are vastly different and shouldn't be merged together like that. Aw, come on. It's the one good thing of the set. The aspects of the team identity should not be touched, but it's a nice little alternate logo. Like something you'd put on the ends of rows. Like the logo at the end of rows at Camden Yards. 2 hours ago, LakeShow24 said: Silent Wind of Doom be like after the 2024 city connects are finished: Thank you btw!

MJD7 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 The Dodgers’ City Connect 2.0 is alright. It definitely looks better in the official reveal than it did in the leaks. I may have said this when it leaked, but the “funfetti” is actually the one element I definitively like, I’m glad they were bold enough to continue it to the pants instead of going dark, which would look too much like Texas’ CC. For some of the other bold elements of the set, such as the top-right front number and the NOB below the back number, I actually don’t mind them as much as I would’ve thought. Since these elements were so bold, I was expecting a Nike-speak style explanation for all of it, but I suppose it’s fine we didn’t get one. The biggest reasons why I’m “meh” on this uniform are the wordmark & the use of navy. The wordmark is fine, I guess, but it doesn’t really do much for me. I know part of the City Connect program involves developing new logos (or modifying existing ones), but I think this would’ve been a great opportunity to use the thinner Dodgers script that has never been on a uniform before. Although I wouldn’t replace the primary scripts, the thinner one would work great on an alternate like this. The use of navy is what really drags this uniform down for me, since it has never been a color the Dodgers have used, their regular blue would have worked so much better in my opinion. Overall, it’s at least better than the original, almost by default, by virtue of having at least some creative ambition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh... I've never seen that before. Did it actually come into existence in 2012 wholesale, or does it have older roots? My instinctual reaction to seeing this is that it feels like gimmick infringement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the name under the number though, that's fun and unique we really only see in basketball. Overall, much better thought out compared to their first CC. It's amazing how many elements we "really only see in basketball" have made their way into Nike's MLB uniforms. It's not been an improvement. (Seriously, if a designer is too inept for the NBA account, the solution is not to move them over to MLB.) To modify a line from the Ramones: "D-U-M-B! The Nike designs for MLB!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does step on the Yankees' toes too much. If the Dodgers are to have a full-name wordmark, maybe it could be in Futura for that perfect mid-century modern look. Dodger Stadium uses it a lot. It would clash with the cursive on the jerseys, but it would still fit overall. 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...

coco1997 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I have to imagine the red version of the Phillies' City Connect would have been better received than what we got, because it contains two actual Phillies colors that are absent from the final design: red and maroon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My instinctual reaction to seeing this is that it feels like gimmick infringement. According to the mothership, the “Dodgers” part of the thinner script has been around since 1938, before the team ever moved to LA and, ironically, before the Yankees adopted their scripted logo in 1946. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Wind of Doom Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Hehehe. I didn't honestly think there was chicanery going on. It was just my brain's knee-jerk reaction. The fonts are actually different with the o, e, r and s all making that clear. It's just funny to see two teams with a one-line, darkish blue, three-word, cursive wordmark. Some of those programs do differ from any Dodgers uniform wordmark and have more similarities, including the same O to the Yankees one. Perhaps it just comes from being in the same place in the same time period leading to that similar style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOLAPelicans23 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 So a little thought about the Dodgers CC and numbers. If they're using 05, but 0 and 00 are different numbers, how would it work for the players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
