patsox Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have a question for ColorWerx. Did the Red Sox change the logo they use for the decals on their helmets? The "B" logo changed on the site and in watching the games so far this spring, it looks like they have that logo on their helmets rather than the thinner looking "B" that they have worn in years past.

However, we all know how things don't always line up between what's in the style guides and what is actually worn on the field. So, who knows?

BigShoop Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The glint is starting to make solo appearances on Rays gear.Not only that, but the color yellow is already being phased out. Remember last year, among other things, the warm up jackets had yellow trim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsM29 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 That seems stupid. You need the yellow to offer better contrast between the two blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew22 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 They had the Texas and Pittsburgh alt 5950's on sale at the sports place in the mall. I almost bought the Pirates one. Eagles/Heels/Dawgs/Falcons/Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman1211 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Not only that, but the color yellow is already being phased out. Remember last year, among other things, the warm up jackets had yellow trim...IMO, the light blue trim is much better than the yellow trim. On the warm ups the yellow clashes rather than complementing the pullover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow is good olny as an accent for those colors in the Rays scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Looking at the Phillies giveaways schedule for the season, I see on May 31st theyre giving all kids a free Chase Utley Alternate Batting helmet away. Maybe no more red helmets with the throwbacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Apparently the Angels will be wearing another sleeve patch this year, honoring Preston Gomez. From what I've read, it's a black baseball diamond with "Preston" going across it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 The replicas on MLB.com no longer have the generic block style. They still violate NNOB rules but at least the styles are right. The price didn't go up, so what corners did they cut? Are the numbers screen-printed or screen-printed on one layer then sewn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbripley Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 That Pirates uniform doesn't look bad at all.Until they put the front number on.The number is gonna go on the front? Still shouldn't look too bad. It would be better without though.I think they look terrific! As one of the three remaining, worldwide Pirate fans, I'll take any improvement as a hopeful sign!

BBTV Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 What the phillies should do is have the stars that dots the i in phillies be gold for the one game.You win the thread. That's an excellent idea.Looks like it's just gold trim and a patch.Courtesy of UW:My buddy is the Phils beat writer for MLB.com, and recently posted that the Phillies will be wearing the "World Series Champions" patch on their home jerseys all season long. The patch won't be worn on the road. I think this is a little much - probalby just a ploy to get people to buy jerseys that have the patch, to go along with their non-patched jerseys.

The patch won't be worn on the road. I think this is a little much - probalby just a ploy to get people to buy jerseys that have the patch, to go along with their non-patched jerseys.Why is it a little much? I mean, I hate the Phillies with the burning passion of a thousand red-giant suns about to go supernova, but they are the reigning champions. And they're not just the reigning champions on opening day; they're the reigning champions until the last out of the 2009 World Series in October. So the only real question is why not wear the patch on the road, too? The reigning champs should commemorate their victory, and they should do it all season. In fact, that used to be the norm. Regarding the new replicas, they're actually pretty awesome. I still don't like them -- I want my layers of tackle twill, darnit, and I don't want anything on the back -- but they look fantastic. At least, the Nationals home replica I've handled looks great, and I've gotta figure that if they can get the look of the metallic gold in the Nats home script right, the rest of the league should look fantastic. There's really no reason for a non-uni-obsessed fan to buy an authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I tend to agree - if the Brewers ever won a Series, I'd like to see them wear the patch all next season. Can't begrudge the Phillies their hard-won victory.I would take it off for the playoffs, though. Just the regular season. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

There's really no reason for a non-uni-obsessed fan to buy an authentic.I just think that we all know that they won it, we don't need to be constantly reminded of it. Plus, there are going to be a few players on this year's team that weren't part of the championship last year, so do they deserve to wear a WS Champions patch? I'd probably say no - in fact, if I was Raul Ibanez or Chan Ho Park, I'd feel pretty silly putting on that patch.Also, if the team struggles and ends up having a poor record at some point in the season, it just looks bad to have a patch that announces how good you were before this year.
