Is there another beaver in front of him, shaking its tail at him? His own tail would be behind him, or at a much different angle, I think. Doesn't make any sense.

Frenchie Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Can't say I'm much of a Baseball uni fan in general, so I'll spare my comments on the overall set.As for the Logo, I'm diggin' it.Nice colour scheme, and I really like how the bat is on under the letters in one spot, and over it in the other one, it gives it depth... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's funny how all the Beavers' fans like Seattle and the team is trying to market San Diego gear to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's funny how all the Beavers' fans like Seattle and the team is trying to market San Diego gear to them.A while back there were rumors of Seattle and San Diego swapping AAA affiliates and then San Diego moving Tacoma to Reno. One of the reasons mentioned was the large fanbase that Seattle had in the Rose City. I don't believe that transaction is being discussed anymore, though.

Gothamite Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I wonder how long Red and Black have been traditional sporting colours in Portland? Did the old PCL team really wear blue and white?Navy and red have long been Beavers colors:They kept those colors when they were a Twins farm club:They might have changed to maroon when they were a Phillies affiliate, but looks like navy and red were the standard colors until the team moved to Salt Lake in 1993.

I know here with the Brevard County Manatees, the Brewers signed a 4 year deal that goes thru the 2010 season.They can either sign a 2-year or 4-year affiliation agreement. There are a few clubs, like us (the Springfield Cardinals) who are actually owned by their parent club, so I don't think/know if they actually have to sign any affiliation contracts or not. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Here's a program from their Phillies days, but it's not much help on the shade of red:In any case, it's pretty clear that red and black was introduced when the new team arrived in 2000.

hecticbro Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Unless the team in question is in a minor city in its parent club's region, I don't really like it when minor league affiliates try to look like their major league clubs. Pawtucket Red Sox, Springfield Cardinals, Omaha Royals.... Those all make sense to me. But if there's a minor league club in a major city that isn't in its parent club's sphere of influence, it seems dumb to try to force it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'd tend to agree, but while these Beavers uniforms may be somewhat inspired by the Padres, they aren't so derivative that they won't make sense when the Beavers switch to another major league club.They're wearing gray road uniforms, after all.

Gothamite Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Just as an update, I got my white alternate cap this morning. Pleasantly surprised to find that it's one of the new polyester 59fiftys - for some reason I thought the minors were still using the old wool ones. The MiLB logo on the back uses Midnight Navy (on the right) and Pacific Blue (left).No black threads in the crown, I guess because they would be visible through the white fabric, so I'm going to have to be careful with removing the backing. Should be interesting.And damn, do I hate the minors for letting New Era put their logo on the side. Were this dark fabric, I'd be tempted to take a seamripper to it. Tend to think that the white will show all the stitching holes, unfortunately.Still no word for the clubhouse shop on when the jerseys will be available.And finally, here's the poll currently running on the Beavers' homepage:What is your favorite part about the Beavers' new look? 3%: Gray road uniforms 17%: New primary logo 31%: Sticking with tradition 7%: Off-white home uniforms 20%: Vintage Sunday uniforms 21%: The new colors The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

BallWonk Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Logo creep aside, that's one beautiful uniform.Putting aside my dislike of the way the cap logo is handled, the overall effect of this uniform is just extraordinarily good. In all of baseball, I can only think of a handful of baseball uniforms I would rate higher than this one in overall look-and-feel. Dodgers. Maroon-era Phillies. Maybe the Braves and Giants. These would easily make my MLB top-five list if the Beavers played one step up the ladder. Possibly top-three. Question: What would be the best triple-A uniform matchup? I'm thinking possibly Toledo at Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
