From what I can tell it was a replica jersey and I don't think the replicas have the patch. Perhaps, but last year when Dansby Swanson was introduced he got a jersey with the walking bear patch. I made sure to check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 MLB owners approve Athletics' planned move to Las Vegas, sources say - ESPN I really hope the A's keep their current unis but just change the road script to reflect their new city. I also wonder if any design work was done on an Oakland City Connect uniform, which at this point we'll likely never get to see. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wouldn't mind seeing some sort of striping on the uniforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pengin. Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 D-backs casually drops new uniforms today. I appreciate them fitting the entire wordmark finally. I think the black alts are my favorite. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pengin. Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Wish they made the Arizona script smaller and spread out more so the Z doesn't split. I think their previous road unis were a slam dunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finally have a good consistent look again. Also the first new uniform set in the new Nike cut is off to a good start. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Glad they decided to make a choice between teal & sand, instead of trying to do both, and the A on the chest of the home jersey is much better than the D-Backs wordmark. I don't mind the D snake, but would've preferred the updated one they used when they first switched to brick red. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Moving to a consistent color scheme (and one that shifts them away from their mid-2000s Astros dress-up scheme) is a big win. The execution … I do not love. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Other than their classic purple and turquoise look, this is easily my favorite look Arizona has ever had. A few nitpicks: - No team needs four different caps. Drop the solid colored ones and keep the two with contrasting bills. - I don't like that the red alt is the only jersey with front numbers. I'd like to see them added across the board. - I'd flip the trim colors on the "ARIZONA" wordmark. I'm not convinced the turquoise outermost outline shows very well against the light gray of the jersey. I might have to mock that up to see how it looks. Now, on to the good stuff: - Love that they finally went all-in on turquoise. The way it pops against the black alt is especially fantastic. - The elimination of sand means the color can be totally unique to their City Connect set. - Happy that they're using the "A" on the home jersey, which is off-white (another plus). - Never thought we'd see the full team name on a jersey again, but here we are, and it looks great. - I'm indifferent to the return of the snake "D," but I like how it looks in the new colors. And most importantly, the stupid "D-BACKS" wordmark is finally gone. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbush24 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Meh. I prefer either sticking with the sand or going back to purple and teal. I don't hate it but it but they can't seem to find an identity and this one feels like a forced mashup. I especially dislike the road grays. The teal outline is barely visible.

Germanshepherd Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Since they’re never going back to purple for some reason, these will certainly do. The home jerseys are the best they’ve come up with since the purple set, although I think from a brand standpoint the D-snake hat should be worn with them to avoid the double up with the A-head, and the A-head should be worn on the road. 3 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttep Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 What I don't get is why the home uniform is that vintage off-white color. Off-white makes sense for traditional franchises and/or traditional color schemes. It does not make sense with this modern color scheme. And I appreciate the effort, but "Diamondbacks" looks way too narrow on the red alternate. Other than that, I like the new uniforms. Was a bit shocked to see the snake-D return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were off-white too, but purple and turquoise wasn't exactly a traditional color scheme. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
