Before the socks were officially revealed, I was guessing/hoping for the regular socks with wavy flag stripes.it was too obvious I guess. I think it would look really sharp. Use your imagination I was thinking the same thing. (That John Denver's full of ) 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That image above shows the perfect size for NOBs in my view, the league-wide change illuminated to me that many of the old NOBs were too big (teams like the Mets and Cubs come to mind), while obviously most all of the new ones with outlines are far too small. Plus, they don't have an ad patch (yet), which even many of the classic teams, like the Yankees, Cardinals, Dodgers, and Tigers, can no longer say. 14 hours ago, Ark said: I think the Yankees have the best uniforms in baseball this season. They are the only team not plagued by the terrible NOBs, and IMO the new road design is an improvement Next season (when the NOBs are fixed supposedly) there will be a debate again. 13 hours ago, aawagner011 said: I agree. Yankees look perfect now and the new road is beautiful. I would not change a single thing about them. I even like the satin batting helmet on the road (it kinda gives off a retro feel) while the gloss works with the pins. If they aren’t the best, they are absolutely top 3.

They're generally harder to read than good old MLB block. 2) I dislike most custom number fonts. They're generally not all that...and they don't slow down the bootleggers one single bit. 3) I dislike single color scripts and numbers. I find them boring...particularly on road uniforms. 4) See #3 above for one of the reasons I dislike the Yankee$ road uniforms. The second one is that, IMO even if you don't have NOB on your home kit, you should have it on any jersey your wear on the road.

The only good thing I can say about this ad patch (and the Angels' as well) is at least it's not as big as it could be. The Red Sox Mass Mutual patch is 2/3 negative space.

I like the Twins Rebrand, and I love that it goes off the TC logo so well. It took me a while to get around to liking the custom font. I think I still prefer the block font they had. However, the home white is not my thing. The classic hats are still there and the red script is a good mix between past eras, but it just feels like there is not enough blue. Even their classic pinstripes had navy pins and a navy outline. I understand they went single color to match up with the TC logo, but it just feels like something missing. I really like the Navy blue jerseys and think those are probably the best of the bunch with their home batting helmets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Blue Jays City jersey has leaked: I don’t hate it. I might prefer that they went with their regular font. 3 2 3 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Yikes. When I saw the leaked caps I thought they'd maybe look alright, but that jersey is terrible. The gradient pattern below the skyline looks very similar to the Tigers tire tracks and the rendering of the CN Tower doesn't look right. Also, I have no idea where the yellow swoosh comes from. My guess is we get these paired with black pants, which definitely won't help. I'll admit I was wrong about them leaning into the Canada stuff with this jersey. I can see it being a big hit with tourists, but I can't imagine it being super popular with locals. They didn't even try to incorporate anything specific to the city, just a generic skyline image and some BFBS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Another butt ugly CC design, but I guess it’s a win cause it doesn’t have a giant TOR or Up North across the chest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W.

I expect Cash Grab Connect jerseys to be poorly designed, but seriously? WTAF? A sewn-on sublimated "Toronto"? An apparently sublimated Jays sleeve logo patch? Soutache braid when we were told that was out? The only thing that doesn't surprise me is that the most thread and effort expanded on this mess went into the two-color, embroidered mark of the beast. Let's face it: we all knew that Cash Grab Connect was the beginning of the end, but I really didn't think Nike would push us to sublimation THIS FAST.

ptay Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Is that really a yellow swoosh on the Toronto CC? Or does the camera flash make red itching appear that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 The more Nike touches professional sports, the more I think I just got really good at lucid dreaming a few years ago and just haven't woken up yet. Another mostly black and blue CC that not only is a horrible on-field look, but I can't imagine many people wanting to wear it anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
