TFoA Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 So uh, I KNOW I'm not the only one who sees this, but doesn't it irk anybody else that the blue on the Cubs' hat does NOT match the blue on the Cubs' alternate? It's really irking me.They should lighten the blue on the cap up. It'd look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to do something with that.And about the Nats, I actually like the uniform, but it's like I'm watching Cuba play or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really irking me.They should lighten the blue on the cap up. It'd look much better.They should darken the blue on the jersey. It looks way too dull and faded. The deeper blue on the cap looks a million times better.I'm not sure the Nationals could have done a worse job with those uniforms.We lost the Expos' set for this garish b.s.??? Complete and utter amateur hour.No, you lost the Expos set because no one ever came to watch them play. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cappital92 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm not sure the Nationals could have done a worse job with those uniforms.We lost the Expos' set for this garish b.s.??? Complete and utter amateur hour.To be honest, the 1992-2004 Expos looked a little generic to me. At least that look seemed generic compared to the older set.I still really don't understand all the hate for the Nats alt. I'm probably rather bias here, but I think it looks quite nice. The navy's different(on the hats at least) from what they have, and I'm hot-and-cold on the flag DC, but I wouldn't mind this being used often. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?

Bmac Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I don't have too much of a problem with the Nats unis, but they look terrible with a red helmet. It looks bad in Spring Training too when they wear navy jerseys with red helmets. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deeper blue on the cap looks a million times better.I think that might have been what the Cubs were trying to do with the darker BPs a couple years ago -- match the blues -- but that didn't really fly. The cap might be what needs to change because it really is much darker -- and the helmet matches the blue jerseys pretty well. I wouldn't mind if they switched to the lighter shade, especially since the Mets barely use it and the Brewers might be done with it too.Antigua has started producing licensed Cubs merchandise (shirts, sweatshirts) that matches the caps perfectly, but before I realized that it was a bit jarring how dark the color was. I bought a few items since I like wearing the caps but none of my blue (or navy, for that matter) shirts and sweatshirts ever matched. It's like the Cowboys all over again.And to answer the original question -- yes, it irks me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSpeedy Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 In point of fact, Montreal lost the Expos because the city and/or province wouldn't build Labatt Park.You wouldn't have known that judging from the attendance figures in the last year they were there. I saw crowds consistently of 3,000 OR LESS until the final game - when it appeared to be a sellout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranium Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The Orioles-Bosox game on Friday night looks like a softball game. Enough with both teams in colored alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The Rockies are among the worst, if not the worst, teams uniform wise. Their hat logo is boring and their jerseys involve hardly any purple. Purple is a unique colour in the MLB and they should use more of it. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 In point of fact, Montreal lost the Expos because the city and/or province wouldn't build Labatt Park.You wouldn't have known that judging from the attendance figures in the last year they were there. I saw crowds consistently of 3,000 OR LESS until the final game - when it appeared to be a sellout.But after 2001, it was absolutely clear that the Expos were not going to stay in Montreal, so why would fans have kept coming out in 2002, 2003, or 2004? Especially after the Expos moved many of their "home" games to Puerto Rico? While it's true that attendance was a problem in Montreal, baseball teams don't move because of low attendance. They move (or threaten to move) for one reason, and one reason only: To extract subsidized facilities from local governments. Had Montreal built Labatt Park, the Expos would have been happy to stay in Montreal and play before 3,000 fans every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphanic Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 What do you mean, w00tness? If anything the Rockies need to do something about those black vests with the black undershirts. (Ideally, burn them.) "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 They really need to do something about these.....Agreed, I've been thinking lately that a touch of green might work. Kind of like the All Star logo from when Colorado hosted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the All Star logo from when Colorado hosted it.I don't necessarily think they need another color, but they should just use the purple more. Right now, it's very boring and blah - and this is coming from a White Sox fan, a team that uses no color whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use too much black and silver. They need more purple. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
