-kj Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I like the black added to the Lions' helmets, as well as the number outlining on the jerseys, but the sleeve striping pattern just looks off. If they rearranged the stripes a bit, it'd work better. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

STL FANATIC Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 The black in itself wasn't necessary for the lions, but by making the change they also made their striping consistent I beleive, and that is big in my book.

amare32 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 and personally, i dont blame the royals for not wanting to look like the dodgers!! who in thier right mind would want to look like those jerkoffs?Word up! Go Diamondbacks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 The point I was trying to make is that I believe that a lot of people on this board have jumped this "ant-black/navy" bandwagon mindlessly.Wow, I never thought about it that way. Now that my mind has expanded I can see that black is the one true path. Every team should adopt black as their primary color. It just looks so good! Never too much black, I say. Black, black, black. Chicago White Sox unis for all! We could have the Seattle White Sox, the New York White Sox, the Los Angeles White Sox...the potential is limitless. Hooray for black! Can't get enough black! Yeah, black!... :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I'm detecting sarchasm!!!!Black can and does work for sometimes but ruins the look of others! Black is not a fit all fix all but it can help some people!!'Nuff said 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I somewhat agree with Avenger. Because black is used for outlining images in other types of graphics, its use as a trim color to help logos stand out is OK in moderation. I think it is important for leagues to control and balance the brand identities used for their franchises. I don't think MLB has done a good job of it in many cases. I dislike any baseball jersey where the script is a dark color trimmed in white on a black jersey. I think the script gets lost in the mess. BTW, I was around for the powder blue era. The only teams that looked good were the Royals and Phillies. Otherwise, it looked bush-league (and still does).As for the Lions new uniforms, my guess is that it will be tweaked after this season. The black could have easily worked if incorporated correctly. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

DEAD! Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Here's my two cents (Canadian ). I think the Royals were the only team that looked good in the powder blues! But I would have the colour changed to either Royal Blue or yellow I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate15 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I think the Royals' addition of black looks good. Although I wish they used blue sleeves on the roads. I'd be open to a replacement of black with powder blue as a trim color, but I think that all-powder blue uniforms have had their day.The Mets' addition of black is awful. It's poorly done and it looks terrible, in my not-so-humble opinion. I think that the reason the black works for the Royals is that it's their second color (blue and black). Once teams venture into third and fourth colors it gets difficult to not have it look like a mess. Not to mention the Mets use a primarily dark blue, so the addition of black is not necessary.

Chazberg Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Some people are uncomfortable with change, and to them, the trend of adding black is an easy target.Well I dunno about that, considering the majority of this board is concepts for new uniforms and logos. I think we just see black as a shallow, insincere attempt to change the uniforms for the better and we hate that, caring strongly for uniforms as we do. Anyway, I'm done attacking you Avenger. As for the Royals, I suppose maybe black could be used, but it would definitely have to be done better than now. They have to get rid of the black caps and jerseys, and limit it to shadow and outlines. Also get rid of those dreadful road vests. Don't even get me started on vests, there's another trend I'm not sure about.... charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajmccall Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I agree with avengers statements from the first page, the kansas city set has gone from the bottom of the league to one of the tops with a simple addition of a drop shadow and vests. You cannot deny how much better the new script and set was to the original ones. Well you can, but that would put you in the traditional pool, and well as some of you know, i pee in that pool. potty jokes aside, adding black is not uniformly bad at all, i know the backlash from the early 90s black is bad(michael jackson 'bad' i mean) is still evident, but come on, you cant just blindly hate a color....ok no we dont need a brown joke here, cuz brown is a bad color. But im straying from my point. Adding a dark isnt a bad thiing if done well, kc did it well. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I would highly approve using powder blue vs. black.Royals, Cardinals, Brewers, Phillies, Blue Jays, etc. could bring these back and get rid of black. Can you imagine the Brewers navy blue and gold text logo on a powder blue jersey? Or even a jersey that's white with a hint of gold tint to it? -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

Discrim Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 someone posted florida state's gold baseball uniform at the other board a month ago, and i think that color might look good with the brewers or royals. that said, i'm not a fan of the black fad. i could say a million things about the mets and royals, but i won't. i'll say the lions didn't need to add black, it looks tacky on them. also, i'll say having a black jersey just to have a black jersey (duke, florida and fsu hoops to name a few) is pointless, especially if your normal uniform has no black (see listed schools) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 I won't deny black looking good, but there should be more to it than looks.Duke, Royals, A's old alts, they all look(ed) good, but sometimes it just shouldn't be done.

IronChefShark Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I disagree about the A's black STL. they looked HORRIBLE.the green script and numbers on the black jersey were less then visible, and they made the uniform virtually void of yellow. the only thing the A's should make black on thier current uniforms are thier shoes on the road!

I agree that Oakland shouldn't use black....or that stupid elephant head (w/ the sunglasses) logo, although they could use some sort of imagery other than just the "A's" logo.

M59 Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I think that the Royals black works pretty well, better, in fact than the drop shadow does...I have to admit right up front, that I am NOT a fan of drop shadow in general (what WERE the Indians thinking, with the drop shadow nameplates), and that the ds, far more than the black, is what messes up the Mets current unis...Thank goodnes they dropped the pinstripes, but that's another story altogether...I have one of the Royals powder blue jerseys from the late eighties, and can only wonder...why?

DEAD! Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I guess when you go to black you can't call them the Blue Jays anymore huh? That really sucks! I really miss the original logo! I think the uniforms they wore during their World Series victories were good enough!Even though red and black are my favourite colours. I also like blue a lot and it should still be the dominant Jay's colours. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
