dgthree Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I think the DET190135456884 being designed as "vin id" is cool. The rest is expected/lame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall design is not good. But I guess I'm too much of a fuddy duddy/traditionalist to like any of these City Connect jerseys - I have the same issue with most of the NBA jersey equivalents.

lahaye7 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 pants remind me of Han Solo's, the jersey typeface is ok, the cap is less than stellar ( what was so hard about a D in that font?)

Brave-Bird 08 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 What I don't understand with this City Connect program is there's an opportunity to really let some colors pop, but Nike seems insistent on using deep colors and/or black. It's fun when you use a dark base and then let brighter colors pop as trim, NOB, etc., but it's a bit overkill at this point. This was an opportunity for the Tigers to have some splashes of orange in a third jersey, and instead they unveiled something I wouldn't be motivated to wear in the slightest. Plus, this whole double-bar stripe suddenly becoming a universal Detroit-stripe, across the NBA, NFL, and MLB, is kind of weird. I don't particularly like the motif but it shows up over and over again -- it even used to be a pretty common thing on these boards, so it's weird seeing it actually applied by Nike in multiple instances. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, should be orange somewhere..... and how can you not somehow incorporate the much underused Tiger logo we see here on sportslogos. At least put that tiger on the hat! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VDizzle12 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Detroit's City set isn't terrible but I really want some orange in there. The sleeve tape, pants stripes and swooshes being orange would really help these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The diamond sleeve patch with just the Old English "D" would have made a much better cap logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll need to see it on field to actually get a good idea, but it's not terrible. I'd say above Cincy's for sure. But could've been better. I feel like if the NFL sold these with a lions logo on the sleeve people would be talking about hos cool these look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenTino Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I said it about the Pistons jersey with tire tracks a few years ago, and I’ll reiterate here: Why would you want a uniform that implies that you’re getting run over? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun when you use a dark base and then let brighter colors pop as trim, NOB, etc., but it's a bit overkill at this point. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's because of fashion. The City Connect program is trying to get jerseys and other products to sell and I would think people are more than likely going to pair the more tame neutral colors with their jeans, jackets, etc.. Colors like navy, black, and grey can pair better with everyday clothing than something as vibrant as orange, pink, or neon green. Not speaking for everyone... just maybe the general public. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
