Audiodrama Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 As a Sox fan, I can't tell you how nervous this announcement makes me. If it's just introducing another alternate jersey, so be it. But if they're screwing with their primary home and away set, I'm going to be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The Red Sox just announced that they "will hold a special event to unveil design changes to the ballclub's logos and select uniforms" this Thursday, December 11th at 6pm at GameOn! which is right next to Fenway Park. It is interesting to note that the headline of the advisory says the logos they are unveiling are "newly redesigned."Unfortunately admission to the event is by invitation only so unless you're lucky enough to get the invite, you'll have to wait until the images pop up online! Either way, we can start the countdown until the Sox unveil their new stuff.Why the flying ?Seriously, I'm in terror here. Please do nothing. Nothing.I second that. The Sox logo doesn't need a redesign. I am a Yankees fan and I believe the Red Sox have some of the best logos around. They really dont need to redesign.They don't. However.....what I think they should do, if they want to do anything at all, is to simply touch up what they already have. They could correct the stitching in the baseball, maybe adjust the lining within the socks, and that would be fantastic. But I will agree with the four of you about how anything major will be an epic failure.It should look kind of like this.....http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp279/C...primarylogo.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgthree Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I second that. The Sox logo doesn't need a redesign. Could this be simply updating the primary logo so RED SOX is finally printed in the uniform style lettering and that lazy version of the wordmark is a goner? I've noticed the "authentic font" version has been in use more often on licensed products. Majestic even touts it on some player T-shirts.As far as a secondary logo goes, maybe the hanging sox logo is going to have a blue outline since that is the way it is depicted on the leaked New Era cap.I fully expect the road uniforms to return to blue lettering if the recent changes to the Salem Red Sox are indicative of the new look for the big league team.I hope they go back to the blue boston on the away jerseys. I also really like the hanging sox logo. Overall they have changed the uniforms quite a lot since the 80's. all minor changes and I am sure that this another minor change.

njmeadowlanders Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Eww, shoulder logos are an abomination. Miserable fail if that's the case.Um...not really. While I agree with you that it wouldn't look good there, some teams (Mets, Giants, Mariners, Marlins to name a few) I love the fact that they have them. It's a case by case basis.

Roger Clemente Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I always thought that if the Red Sox were to update their main logo, they could try something like I did three years ago. Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 100% upgrade. Maybe add some red trim.

NDwas Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Roger_Clemente, PANTONE/ColorWerx, and Wally1912 are all spot-on. It's hard for me to say, because I LOATHE the Sox, but everything that will be unveiled on Thursday is spotless in my opinion. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday.

The_Admiral Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 It often slips my mind, but the Red Sox' full primary is pretty slapdash and crappy. That slab-serif BOSTON looks totally out of place.I don't think going to all-navy lettering/numbers on the greys is an improvement at all. Everything is just fine the way it is. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a case by case basis.The Giants's shoulder logo is an eyesore to an otherwise sterling uni. They're just so unnecessary and they detract from the flow of the shirt - and make one sleeve look "heavier" in comparison to the other unadorned one.

In fact, I wish most MLB team would change their uniforms by getting rid of the gray away jerseys and make them team colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
