LEWJ Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 it's funny right as i was looking at those uis, i saw a commercial for "Spring Arbor University"the font is very simialr, if not exact.And if their idea was to become rays, as in "sun rays" why is there still a stingray on the sleeve?Doesn't make sense. They're lazy, why not just eliminate that and bring in a new logo? | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris062190 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 eh, there ok.I think they wouldn't look so boring if they jazzed up the hat logo.Like mentioned above it looks like someone just played around with wordart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 From the front page of their website with the new uniforms:The Rays have a new image. Embracing the Sunshine State's warmth, the club ushered in a new era on Thursday, unveiling a new name, color scheme and icon. "We want the Rays to reflect the best our region has to offer," principal owner Stuart Sternberg said. Full story > And from inside the story:The team's new cap has a base color of navy blue and white "TB" lettering cast with a light blue shadow. The "TB" lettering was custom designed for the team and was selected for its elegant simplicity and classic look.By who?

BallWonk Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Seeing this in photographs, and particularly in the player photos, I'm revising my preliminary F grade upward. This is not failing work. May even deserve a grade as high as C-minus. Does anyone know whether the caps are Yankees midnight, or Cleveland navy? My overall impression seeing these being worn: If that was green, instead of dark blue, these would be passable uniforms. Bonus feature, which was probably deliberate: From now on, when you go to the Trop when the Yankees are in town, it will look like all the fans sitting in front of you are wearing Rays caps.

Sodboy13 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Why is the Devil Ray on one jersey but not the other?The white one's authentic, the grey's a replica. Replica jerseys don't have sleeve patches.

darthxenu Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Why is the Devil Ray on one jersey but not the other?....and that hat logo...uh letters..... is just terrible.The one without the Devil Ray is a replica jersey. They don't have any sleeve patches. The road authentic jerseys aren't availyable yet.If the Rays have a Devil Ray on their sleeve, shouldn't the Astros have a Colt .45 on their sleeves?

BallWonk Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Does anyone know whether the caps are Yankees midnight, or Cleveland navy?Cleveland Navy.Thanks. That helps cement my C-minus grade for these unis. This is more an absence of good, rather than a presence of bad. If the Rays have a Devil Ray on their sleeve, shouldn't the Astros have a Colt .45 on their sleeves?The two examples are not even remotely analogous. A devil ray is a kind of ray. A Colt's revolver is not a kind of astro. But I like your idea of putting the Colt's revolver on the Astros sleeves. If you don't like the devil ray logo on the sleeve, do you think the new Rays diamond logo would look better on the sleeve? I don't -- to my eye, the logo is the worst aspect of this redesign -- so I'm cool with the fish on the sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiodrama Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Someone mentioned Microsoft Word earlier in this thread, and that couldn't be more dead-on. This is such a disappointment when this franchise had such a nice opportunity to at least garner some semblance of respect on the field. Their team is juvenile and boring, as are these new uniforms. I guess it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
