TruColor Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Any word or pics of an alt jersey and/or cap? I don't believe there will be an alt (uni or cap) this season...as soon as they get this stuff posted for real, I'll report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 The Washington Post just posted this:Love the jerseys. Love the hats. Really, really don't like them together.

BBTV Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I think it's pretty redundant to have the "Nationals" patch on the home shirt and the "DC" patch on the road shirt (actually, DC on both wouldn't be too bad.)Hopefully somebody wises up and switches this before they wear them.

sj32 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Is it me, or do the 5's on the uniform graphic look like they may be using the old Dallas Cowboys' number font? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Ah, but the fans called them the Senators since the 1940s, so we can call them the Senators now. And you would be wrong, but don't let that stop you... its routine for him to be wrong. spending too much time at fanhome can do that to someone US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread, but I don't like how the Nats put the old W on the caps and the W has nothing at all in common with the wordmark on the logo/jerseys. It's been mentioned, the consensus seems to be that the old W would be cool with an older script, but it was stupid to throw it in and disrupt the rest of the theme. DC looks a lot better, and I'm sure they'll change it soon enough. Maybe if we petition...they'll be happy to listen to anyone who takes an interest in their stupid team ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj32 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I can confirm that the number font is a modified old Cowboys font with exaggerated serifs on the 2s, 3s, 5s, 6s & 9s. The 1s have a flat top serif, similar to the Cubs or a USC football jersey. The numbers also have gold beveling to create a 3D effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1s have a flat top serif, similar to the Cubs or a USC football jersey. The numbers also have gold beveling to create a 3D effect. Now it's confirmed...the hat doesn't match the wordmark which doesn't match the number style.Each element on it's own is good...together they're a stylistic jumble.

raz Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 The interlocking NY in the Yankees cap is different from the interlocking NY on the home jersey: Neither match the block 'NEW YORK" on the road uniform, which doesn't match the script "Yankees" on the warmup jackets.Are they a stylistic jumble, too, or are they an untouchable "classic"?

The_Admiral Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 You're talking about how fluffing thick the Y is! We're talking about complete stylistic incongruity. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'm talking about stylistic incongruity, also.The NY (either one, pick 'em) doesn't match the block font, which doesn't match the script font.Also, the pinstripes without sleeve-ending stripes doesn't match the plain road uniforms with sleeve stripes. In comparison, the Nationals' uniform holds together better. They at least use the same font on both home and road uniforms. None of it matches with the Yankees.

The_Admiral Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 You want a real hodge-podge? Utah Jazz. The jersey text is nowhere else, the numbers don't match the letters, which don't match the scripts on the courts, which don't match the actual logo, which itself is just a recolored version of an old one. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'm gathering that I'm not the only one here who has seen this, but someone tell me why the Nationals are going with a "Established 1905" theme???Seems to me that they're combining histories with the Twins, and kicking in the teeth of Expos Nation.

sj32 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Particularly considering the Senators were an original AL team and were established in 1901. I'm wondering if they mean "2005" (although that would be a hell of a mistake to get past everybody). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
