Yac12 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 That was one of my favorite Angles uniform sets. The other was the one from 1993-1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh1068 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Biggest kudos possible to the Angels for wearing a '70s / '80s throwback uniform that actually maintains the elastic waistband. Take a hint Blue Jays, Twins and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I LOVE those throwbacks. Not crazy about the unis, but those hats are awesome. They should wear a navy hat with a red bill as an alternate or something. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Couldn't agree more.That's beautiful.The red caps have grown on me (largely as a counterpart to Dodger Blue), but I'd like to see a navy road cap. Or even better, an alt. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even better, an alt.Also, if you wanna do a callback to the awesome 90's threads (PRE-Disney. Last set as "California Angels"), you can make the piping on the aways navy, the lettering and numbers navy trimmed in red, and a solid navy road cap. But that's just more of a mixing of a couple different eras. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Couldn't agree more.That's beautiful.That should be their full time cap . . . period.

jtthasportfreak Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I went to that game last night, they looked incredible except that they didn't complete the set with 80s-style helmets blue & red. I give good [props to the graphic department. They not only Shupped the Angels headshots on pop culture items from that decade, they did so for Toronto as well. Before the beginning of the 9th Inning they showed the graphics they made for the reserves who didn't make it in the game. The crowd even got Rick Roll'd, only for a few seconds, not like the Shea Stadium home opener fiasco from last year. It was a great game for Weaver, he received a rousing ovation when he came back to finish his complete game bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Maybe because it was a road game and they didn't pack them? I wonder if they even knew that the Angles were having this promotion. You'd think that these things would be communicated, but maybe not always.

CubsFanBudMan Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Biggest kudos possible to the Angels for wearing a '70s / '80s throwback uniform that actually maintains the elastic waistband. Take a hint Blue Jays, Twins and others.I think the difference is it was a one-time uniform. I've heard others remark that if you're going to trot out these "throwbacks" on a weekly basis, they should be as close to modern as possible, hence the belts for the Blue Jays and Twins (although in the case of the Jays, they did keep the pullover, which also is usually thrown out the window as a regular).Of course, players have been known not to even want to wear a throwback once because of some uncomfortable aspect by today's standards, so they may be partly to blame as well. (Something as simple as pulling up the pants to show socks, but I'm also thinking White Sox in two instances -- the partial button down of a few years ago, planned for every Sunday but worn only once, I believe, and a jersey from the shorts set that had the collar and was cut short, so they only wore the caps. And did the Brewers modify their '82s midstream?)On the topic of the Angels, I love those as well, but these days I think I'd prefer it with a red cap. I have come so close to pulling the trigger on a replica version of these because they are identical to what my hometown Midwest League team -- the Quad-City Angels -- wore when I was growing up (post-Cubs and pre-River Bandits part I). I still have the blue and red QC-halo cap.Also, anyone know what the Cubs throwbacks will be this year? After the success of the 1948s last year they have consistently said they'd be doing it again, but have never said from what era. 25 years since the 1984 Cubs, I'd love to see them wear the blue roads at home (since they do it all the time now anyway).

CubsFanBudMan Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Here the only one I had on my computer. I'll go through my collection of stored caps and take a better shot later. I just don't make it back to John O'Donnell often enough to keep it at the ready. But it was a mainstay in high school. Still in good shape, though.EDIT: Spoke too soon. It was still in a prominent place right behind the Cubs caps and alongside its River Bandits and Swing successors:Quad-City Angels cap 1985-1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I was a little disappointed last night when the Brewers didn't wear these: It's not that big a deal, but does anyone know why they didn't wear the throwbacks? I love those things. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks for the pix, guys. The Q on that hat ruins it for me... they could have made it look much better.
