Chazberg Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I was walking past my local Foot Locker the other day, and I spotted the MLB jersey rack. Right in front was the navy blue Mariners alternate with the "SEATTLE" script and silver piping, just like A-Rod used to wear, I think maybe around 99? Does this mean they're bringing these back? It's a brand new store so it's not like they have a bunch of back stock they just dragged out.... Anyway the jersey looks gorgeous. I wish the M's would use the alternate jersey font on the home and road too. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 God I hope so. I loved those. Actually looked like a game jersey, not like the mid-90's BP-looking ones they wear now.Here's a pic: https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick 1733 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 they, like the Marlins need to use more teal.Why would a team that doesn't have teal in their color scheme want to use 'more' of it?Note: It's not teal, it's more like the Dolphins aqua color MLB, NBA, NFL & NHL Font Packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I hate the numbers on the alt - they'd be so much better off sticking with the regular numbers than the funky pointy font.

TwoRsAndTwoLs Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I hate the numbers on the alt - they'd be so much better off sticking with the regular numbers than the funky pointy font.I always thought of the numbers as really out of balance. They also seemed awkward because they came out while Bob Melvin was the manager, and the numbers have a resemblance to Arizona's old numbers. Also, they were the first jersey since 1993 that the M's put numbers on the front of.Oh, and when they were first offered, they were totally black and not navy.

oakland ehs Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I had thought I'd wanted the Mariners to go to those numbers... until I saw what it looks like on that uniform. Keep it to the alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I like the pointy numbers. I personally think that unique fonts are much better than the boring MLB Block. boring, boring boring. I wish they'd go out on a limb with their uniform designs as well. BP jerseys shouldn't be the only ones that feature innovative design.
