Burning River Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Today against the Angels, the Indians are wearing 1948 Uniforms. It can be seen on FOX. I like them. I like the "I" a bit more in the current mark. This old "I" is too much like a "J" or... something. Neither are perfect by any means. You would think there was a more legible "I" out there.

vls Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 They have the wrong "C" on the cap though. The one they'er wearing today is from the sixty's I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The "TC" that the Twins wear, stands for Twin Cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Oh ok, but why is it the same shape as the Reds logo ? ...Looks like the Indians old ''C'' as well !It's also the same as an old Cubs hate.And you'll notice the Chicago Bears use it too.It's called the Wishbone C (I'd venture that each team has a slight variation on proportions on it--I know the Reds and the Bears aren't exactly the same).Why do so many teams have it? It just stems from being such an old design. Teams were less strict about protecting designs and I'd also venture that the Wishbone C was common place in other industries too. It probably wasn't viewed too much differently than we would view it if more than one team used a Block C as their logo (we see that in college sports actually).

Jungle Jim Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 They have the wrong "C" on the cap though. The one they'er wearing today is from the sixty's I think...No, it's correct. They wore that model 1945-50. Never after 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning River Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think what makes them "incorrect" is that the red"C" that they wore yesterday has a white outline. I think it should be red "C" on blue.To me.. that is not a good look for Chief Wahoo. I know people complain of the "red face" now... but that rendering is pretty bad IMHO. As I've stated before, I wouldn't mind seeing a Chicago Blackhawks or Washington Redskins type of design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think there was a more legible "I" out there.I'm not a fan of the current "I" at all, but it's an "I". You're pretty limited with what you can do with it. I do like the throwbacks, but that particular Chief Wahoo makes me cringe. I fear if I like it, an activist is going to come and protest in front of my house.

Sodboy13 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think what makes them "incorrect" is that the red"C" that they wore yesterday has a white outline. I think it should be red "C" on blue.Which would make that the exact same incorrect hat worn by the Cubs earlier this season in their throwback game against the Braves. So for all those who were wondering why the Cubs hat was navy when the rest of the uniform was (correctly) royal blue, there's your answer: Someone didn't want to be bothered with making two different hats for two separate throwback events, preferring to use a single "eh, close enough" model for both.

The Cardinals took their name from the fact that the team's original owner bought the University's old faded maroon uniforms and called them cardinal red rather than maroon. He eventually took the Maroons' C logo as well and the rest is history. Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
