Bouj Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I stayed up to watch the beginning of the Korea-Taipei replay on the Disney Sports Network. The thing that struck me is that Korea was wearing the Nike Walk-Off template jersey. I guess Majestic couldn't get to everyone after all. Other than that, nothing to get excited over with the unis.Pic:On a side note, the guy I was listeing to on Sporting News Radio (Chris Russell, I think) was makign fun of Korea's caps. He said they looked like the mesh caps with the puffy fronts. Certainly not from what I could tell, but I guess any way you can rip on the WBC is better for ratings.And the later game, Japan-China:including Ichiro: Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Shumway Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Japans helmets look really weird. It looks like they have a matte finish(if helmets have any sort of finish?). They remind me of a frying pan for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriqjaffe Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yeah, it's very odd to see a matte finish on a batting helmet. Japan also appears to have a "puffy" decal on it, much like the way the Cubs do on their batting helmets.I really, really like China's uniforms, though.

BBTV Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It looks odd that China has on old English font for their uni's. It also looks odd to me that all of the team's have their country names spelled out in English. Are we that important?

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I think the matte finish looks great. I'm not so sure why Japan is red, gold, and navy though. The dominance of navy doesn't mesh well with a country whose colors are red and white. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Japans helmets look really weird. It looks like they have a matte finish(if helmets have any sort of finish?). They remind me of a frying pan for some reason. Thats accually fairly common in the Japanese baseball league. The yomiuri giants do their helmets that way and have for quite awhile. I think it looks good. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mingjai Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It looks odd that China has on old English font for their uni's. It also looks odd to me that all of the team's have their country names spelled out in English. Are we that important?It would have looked cool to have China in Chinese characters, but given they didn't, I don't mind the old english. I've posted this before, but I'm just glad that China's uniforms don't look like this:A little off the point but regarding the English names on the back of the jerseys, I believe they do that as well for their domestic professional teams (soccer, basketball, and baseball) because there are thousands of Chinese characters but only 26 English letters. For a uniform supplier/equipment manager, it's a lot easier to have 26 letter in stock than thousands of characters. Also, it seems to me that the English is more readable from a distance (I can read Chinese as well). Finally, it's not strange to Chinese because official Chinese forms (IDs and passports) require their names in both characters and English scripts--in fact, in China, children learn Chinese in part by learning the pinyin, which are English letters.

walkerws Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Mizuno made Japan's & Chinese Taipei's unis and their batting helmets looked kind of cool too. The Korea hat is booty. Their uniform reminds me of the Olympics. That ain't a good thing if you remember the 2004 olympics where Nike put one template on everything it seemed.

Moser316 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It looks like Korea got their caps made at the local screen printer. I had a hat that looked just like that (same color, same construction, different logo) when I played Little League in the late 1980's-early 1990's.

pcgd Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 English is the language of world business. Its the language of money. If you want to sell merchandise to one of the countries with the most disposable income (US), things need to be in english.Plus the other points mentioned about the characters and readablity and such.
