vicfurth Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 The UCLA Striping:Looks Great on football jerseys.But horrible on Baseball Jerseys.Not necessarily. Get a baseball jersey, sleeveless style, and put shoulder piping in the same pattern. Even w/o sleeveless...Ooh, concept idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 There are some college teams that do now. Rice does it with, as do some other teams. I think Rice's white jerseys are far better than these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersun Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Imagine any other sport than baseball where the visiting team wears gray. Doesn't work.You're right about that:While some may not be convinced by this picture, I assure you that in person, it's an absolute disgrace...Anyone else noticed the old Milwaukee Brewers logo on that hockey jersey? I'd be interested to know the story behind it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 The story's pretty simple - the Brewers are a primary sponsor of the Milwaukee Admirals. The Brewers also sponsor Admiral fan giveaways and have ads on the boards. All of which use the retro logo.The owner of the Brewers, asst GM and pitcher Ben Sheets are all part of an ownership group that has a minority share in the minor league hockey club. And I love their gray jerseys.... The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The C on Variteks jersey looks stupid. The C should only be in hockey imo and it looks really bad in basketball and baseball.yet looks just fine on football jerseys.

Gothamite Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The few times the C has made it to a pro jersey, it always looks really strange to me. Don't much care for it in those circumstances.

olivier in france Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ads on soccer jerseys are fine, but on any jersey in the big 4 would make it seem like a laughingstockfine??guess why i'm a Barcelona fan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Why is this? Is it because we are used to seeing it this way?It's basically the same thing as the way that most of us will spend our lives believing that the music that we liked when we were 13 is the greatest music ever. We form most of our basic aesthetic opinions at an age when all people have terrible taste. None of us would allow a 13-year-old child to choose our clothes, yet we are all guilty of letting the 13-year-old we once were dictate our taste in sports uniforms. Witness the nostalgia for the crappy old ultra-generic Brewers uniforms, or quite possibly my own nostalgia for the maroon-era Phillies unis. Great point but you're off the mark a little on the age thing. According to research we used in radio, it's actually between the ages of 12 and 25 that a lot of our preferences are set. So it's not really like letting a 13 year old dictate our tastes but it's still like letting a bunch of youngsters without much life experience dictate our tastes. That's better, but it's not a lot better. It's precisely why today's "modern" uniforms that are derided by old guys like me will be the very "classics" that the young guys who sing the praises of "updates" and "modernizations" today will be longing for in 20 years.

CZzyzx41 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I guess I can state some of the obvious...Facemasks would look terrible on batting helmetstank tops wouldn't work in any sport but basketballice skates don't work on baseball, football, basketball or soccercaps of any kind would not work in basketball.I think that's pretty obvious stuff but I thought I'd toss some humor into the thread. Not that it's been lacking...but I'm bored at work so I guess I think there's some justification in it. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

I think that it's a rule that all fastpitch softball helmets need to have facemasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it did work nicely on the sleeve IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totc Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The story's pretty simple - the Brewers are a primary sponsor of the Milwaukee Admirals.Which, of course, explains the special Bob Uecker jersey which made the team look like a bunch of skating Triscuits.

totc Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The few times the C has made it to a pro jersey, it always looks really strange to me. Don't much care for it in those circumstances.From what I remember, the Cubs (Sosa), Cincinnati Reds (Barry Larkin), Dallas Cowboys (Drew Pearson), and Seattle Sonics (Gary Payton). Don't have photo evidence. Other teams have designated "captains," but have left the "C" off.Also, captains in soccer always have to wear an armband.I think UniWatch did something on this a while back.
