McCall Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 the yankees should have a home uni with "yankees" script. . . . i tried making a jersey with it but i failed ultimatleyThen what does that tell you.Their home uniforms are perfect, untouchable, and I don't like the Yankees.I loathe the Yankees more than any team in all of sports, but I gotta agree. Their homes should be officially designated, "Untouchable". https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadillo Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 the yankees should have a home uni with "yankees" script. new stadium, new unis...they need to stop holding on to the past so much and try looking into the future and present times and make a new history. im going to get flammed for this for sure. i tried making a jersey with it but i failed ultimatley but i think it would look good as a jersey. i also feel that every jersey should have players names on them, the back looks so empty without them and i make reference to when your on a school team....you dont have a name, you just have number assigned to you for the season and the its done, like you dont have importance, your just there for a short time, if you know what im saying?Does the fact that the new stadium was designed to resemble the original Yankee Stadium sway your opinion at all? And the lack of names on the back is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime029 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Except for the Yankee Stadium sleeve patch, of course.I was strictly discussing hat changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooropean Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Twins 1982 throwbacks (couldn't find the actual unveiling pics yet):Like the Brewers 1982 throwbacks these have been updated to a button down front and a belt.I am glad to see the red cap getting some use. Thought it was a waste when they brought it back a few years ago as a 3rd had but barely worn them. Now maybe I will finally buy a new one to replace my throwback version.

leopard88 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Like the Brewers 1982 throwbacks these have been updated to a button down front and a belt.. . . and, apparently, by making the sleeve stripes much narrower. I can understand going with the button front jersey and belt. However, you would think they could at least make the sleeve stripes accurate.

gosioux76 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I don't get it. What's the logic behind making the retros a button-down instead of a pullover? Their old powder blue throwbacks from a while back were pullover, weren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Individual game throwbacks are usually more faithful to the original.Regularly-scheduled alts usually follow the "here's what it would look like today if we hadn't changed away from these uniforms" aesthetic. Just like the Red Sox followed uniform trends while maintaining the same basic look - flannels to pullovers and elastic waistbands to button-up doubleknit and belts - so too are the Brewers' Friday alts a reflection of what might have happened to the old look if it'd been tweaked to follow uniform evolution.In other words, exactly what the NFL does for every throwback.

Cianfrocco Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Probably because players today are so used to button downs that they wouldn't want to wear a pullover. Some players don't like wearing sleveless vests, and a pullover would be even more of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Once again, the Brewers are the fashion vanguard.Who's next for the updated retro alt?I swear there's an oxymoron in there somewhere.If the Brewers have started a trend, that of the "updated retro alt" (no oxymoron), then it is a good trend! These Brewers and Twins alts give us a glimpse of what these uni styles would have looked like today if these teams had never dumped them. As Gothamite has indicated, these alts represent the same change that occurred organically when the Blue Jays went from to ...or when the Royals went from this to this, or when the Padres went from this to this.(By the way, most people remember the road version of the Phillies' fat-P jersey only as a powder-blue, zip-up affair. But, they tend to forget the dignified look that it took on once it, too, underwent a related type of change and became a nice grey button-down jersey.)I love it when a team lays claim to a look it had in the past by rendering it in button-down/belt style, so I say bring this trend on -- in fact, I want the Padres to be the next one!

habsfan1 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The Twins should use this oppurtunity to change that ugly dated primary logo with the upside down "m" and the ugly ball stiches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I like the updated throwbacks. Makes sense for more than one-time use.The Brewers reference might be 15 pages back or so. They dumped the throwbacks for the final date this year because they were vying for a new playoff berth. Since they achieved that, there was some speculation -- either here, in the media, or by the team itself -- that they didn't need the throwbacks anymore with a new tradition in the current unis established.
