BallWonk Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The little flags on the front look silly.The little flags on the front violate the U.S. Flag Code and are a form of flag desecration. On the plus side, this:Is the perfect fix for the Twins' flawed TC logo. Just a couple of minor tweaks and it can go from the worst on-cap logo in the big leagues to one of the best.

Gothamite Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 True enough.I'd rather see a white TC with red outline on the navy caps, but that's still an improvement. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 True enough.I'd rather see a white TC with red outline on the navy caps, but that's still an improvement.Oh, absolutely. I sort of assumed that. It's the tweaks to the shape, the outline, and the single color of the letters that turns the TC from worst to first in my book. If New Era has this style of TC cap logo ready to stitch on a 5950, as it apparently does, then there is no excuse for the Twins continuing to use the TC logo as-is in all its muddled mediocrity. (I have a Twins cap with an all-white TC on navy, and looking at the above cap, I see that the outline makes all the difference. All white, no outline is just a little bit too much like the Yankees or Tigers. Add a red outline -- to say nothing of the beautiful breaks in the T and the C -- and it becomes a very distinctive cap.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjm Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Anyone notice the red and white stripes aren't correct? They should be of equal width, yet the red is shown as much thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatSleepJeep Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Is it too much to ask to have the T in stripes only and the C in stars only (or the opposite)? Apparently.Do the MLB logos on the back mimic the star field in place of the blue and the stripe field in place of the red it or do they all get the standard blue/white/red logo? At minimum they should make the ball a star and the red field as stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The little flags on the front violate the U.S. Flag Code and are a form of flag desecration.Really? Even if they are though, they aren't real U.S. flags, especially since they don't have 50 stars or 13 stripes. They could play that card if they needed to.That Indians one, however, somehow looks offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallWonk Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The little flags on the front violate the U.S. Flag Code and are a form of flag desecration.Really? Even if they are though, they aren't real U.S. flags, especially since they don't have 50 stars or 13 stripes. They could play that card if they needed to.Nope. As every Boy Scout knows, any depiction of the flag that is intended to stand for the American flag is an American flag. If you draw a flag with a red crayon and a blue crayon on white paper, and you only make seven stripes and one big star, and you mean for it to represent the flag, then you have just created an American flag for the purposes of the U.S. Flag Code. And it is a violation of the U.S. Flag Code -- an actual law passed by Congress -- to put the American flag on an athletic uniform, or to make any article of clothing out of the flag or any portion of a flag. If you can tell that a part of an athletic uniform is meant to be a flag, whether it's an Olympic athlete using the flag as a cape, or a little flag patch on a ballcap, or even a jersey with one sleeve made of blue with white stars and another sleeve made of even red and white stripes, then what you're seeing is flag desecration. The point of the ban on using the flag on athletic uniforms is that the flag must not be torn or dirtied, and athletic uniforms are meant to get torn and dirtied. (Here's the test: Buy a 49-star flag from eBay -- yes, they're available -- and then take it to a parking-lot tailgate barbecue before a NASCAR race or an NFL game and burn it. Before the first angry guy punches you in the face, point out to him that it's not really an American flag because it only has 49 stars. He will punch you in the face anyway. That's how you can tell that if it looks like an American flag, it's an American flag.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
