ANGELCAT-IDA61 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I read on this message board a few months ago, that the San FranciscoGiants added gold around the lettering of the road jerseys. I tried to take a closelook at pictures of it on the Giants dugout shop, but can't seem to notice thechange. If so, does majestic have the new Giant road jersey with the goldaround the lettering in the replica version, or just in the authentic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I believe they did add gold or sand. I remember Shark posting a pic of it and then it being linked in a uni-watch article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 they did. it's there. if you view it with a super powered microscope. it's so tiny an addition you can't even tell. Not according to the latest Style Guide files (I just re-downloaded them to be sure)...However, they don't always have these things correct either...and, there isn't an official listing of the change on the site as well...they usually maintain a list of any and all changes...Who knows...

gosioux76 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I remember a thread way back before last season where IronChefShark had nice, close-up photos of a gold trim or gold drop shadow beneath the lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backwards world... a change everyone but PANTONE knows about I believe ICS posted a photo showing the change and UniWatch wrote about it... this was back in November if my memory serves me correctly... but yeah the change is extremely minor and very hard to notice without knowing of it before hand. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net  "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I bumped the old thread.Still not seeing where this actually happened for real...I'll keep investigatin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 wow, the thread was from LAST offseason? shows how fast time flies... the change would be nearly impossible to see in game photos, but that's a good place to start lookin... or if anyone saw the Giants in person in 2005 and noticed it, that would be helpful. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net  "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 When I went to the Giants store at Pac Bell last season I did notice the gold in the lettering on the road jerseys. I'll probably be getting the authentic this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youppi! Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 uni watch's baseball preview had a close up pic and you can clearly see the gold."take me out to the new uniforms" march 30, 2005. i think you need espn insider to see it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I think this is one more example where the Style Guide has something wrong.For example, they've had the Cubs with block number fonts since at least 1999, and they've had the infamous Red Sox script error at least that long, if not longer.
