Guest Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Hey, thanks a million for making these available. I still don't like the Reds font, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 The more I look at it, the less I like it.Doesn't work at all with the Wishbone C, so we've got a new Nationals problem - a uniform designed with everything micro-matched down to the last detail except the cap logo.Had they even kept block numbers, it would be okay.

As for across-the-board uniformity, I don't know if varsity serif would look good for the Cincinnati wordmark. Maybe just varsity block for city, name, numbers, varsity serif for REDS. I was experimenting with the Blackhawks font in bold for names, and I like the way that looks. It's slightly different than normal block. Wider, I guess?EDIT: This would be a good font for the Astros, Rangers, or Rockies. It has a kind of old-timey Western feel that lends itself to newer teams with more thought-out identities, so to speak. A team like the Reds should be as clean and simple as it gets. You don't need to visually tie it in with Cincinnati (how does one make a visual tie-in with Cincinnati, anyway?), or trip over yourself to look "old-timey base-ball," either.

spyboy1 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Much appreciated. The Cininnati font is going to come in useful for me.

Leonard Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks. I downloaded the fonts for baseball, football & hockey. The fonts will certainly come in handy.

A mismatched new jersey font is bad because of the way it doesn't match the cap logo. But a mismatched old jersey font would be just fine because we're already used to accepting the way it doesn't match the cap logo. If the Reds (or the Nationals) are wrong, then so are the Dodgers, and when trying to establish a rational basis for my gut judgment forces me to reject Dodgers unis, then I take that as a sign my gut is wrong. Most of these custom team fonts seem very specific to their teams to me. Probably because for the most part they're just not very good. But I could see the new Reds font becoming a new Tuscan. It looks old-timey and baseballish, but not quite so archaic and flowery as Tuscan. (Although the number 7 is an absolute mess, but that's the only seriously flawed letter/digit shape to my eye.) I would not be surprised to see it popping up in MLB graphics starting in 2008: spring training logos and whatnot, maybe even minor league teams using it for numbers.

Guest Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I don't think it looks that "baseball" to me, just because it hasn't really been established as such before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESTONES6 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I was curious if you had the Cardinals' "StL" font or the Yankees' "NY" font?
