boardname Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Tampa Bay gets bashed a lot on this board, and I suppose with good reason: ridiculous name, disaster of a stadium, and above all, horrible play for the team's entire history. And I suppose anything they have now is an improvement over the horrible gradient-purpleness they started with.But, I actually LIKE what they have now. A lot of that is the decision to go with green as a primary. I've always felt green is a great color that is criminally underused in sports. Only two teams use it as a primary in MLB (Rays and A's), two in NFL (Eagles and Packers), and two in NHL (Wild and Stars). But I also think the 'Rays' wordmark is kind of cool, despite the stupid ray sliding across. And the TB hat logo is classic, but modern. And, they've actually got an alt that is what an alt should be - the team's solid color (and its green, not black) with a secondary logo on it.(And just so we all remember.. YIKES).

FiddySicks Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Ive always liked the D Rays uniforms. I really want to get a sleveless Rays jersey to go with my green D Rays hat, which is probably my favorite hat that i own On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

IceCap Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 the devil rays have some of the nicest unis in the leauge. they made some slight changes before the season started, and that really improves their look.

schwep76 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I love the D-Rays package...so much, in fact, that I recently bought a Carl Crawford green alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrookedThumb Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I know my opinion might seem biased because the Rays are my favorite MLB team, but I've also liked their uniforms as well. However, I'm not a big fan of the design they used ofr their alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousG Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Their uniforms are good. Especially since they made the switch to green as a primary color. Someday the rainbow unis the jays used to wear will sell huge as throwbacks. Trust me on that one.

epper Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 i dont mind the rays unis. theyre pretty nice. the one thing i cant stand though (and this applies to all teams with sleeveless jerseys) is when they wear the skin tight under-armour as sleeves instead of the t-shirt material. and with some players they even screenprint the ray onto the bicep. it looks terrible.

Chazberg Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I'm with ya, I like em a lot, especially the road grays, and for a while I was thinking of getting a Baldelli jersey before he went down for the year. I just think they should get rid of black altogether. Of note I think it's interesting that in your sig pic it looks like the Ray logo is screened on the sleeve of Crawford's shirt. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 My biggest problem with the Devil Rays uniforms aren't the uniform styles, but the colors. The team colors are drab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoop Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Their home jerseys would look beautiful if they played in an open-air stadium instead of the Tropicana dump (even in hot, humid Florida) against a downtown skyline of some sort. Even their spring-training home is better than the Trop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscrunner06 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I like the Rays unis...in fact, I have a Rays home replica white uni that I found for a really good price a couple years ago. I think it was the first year they switched from the rainbow unis to what they have today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even their spring-training home is better than the Trop. Actually, that's a really good point. No team's jerseys look good when they're in the depressing Trop, and you never get to see them wear their whites anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMOSTLfan Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 im a huge fan of the rays uniforms i think they are very simple but clean....maybe if tampa could finance a real baseball only park they would draw more of the thousands of baseball fans around the st pete area.

Mac the Knife Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Any team that shortens their nickname on their uniforms automatically gets lumped in the 'plop' category, no matter the color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
