GuitarPunk2512 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 There are a lot of good comments in here. I agree with most of them. But I still have a few more things I don't like:1. No more stirrups in baseball. Stirrups should be brought back. Look at pictures of Mickey Mantle, and that's the way baseball players should look.Why?i dont like stirrups, maybe because im only 16, but i definetly think players should show thier socks. we were taught in little league to have the socks shown, i always did that...i hated having my pants all the way down.

The Danimal Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Great thread.Here's a few I've not seen mentioned yet:1. Missing TV numbers on college football jerseys (NFL requires them)2. No names on the back of football jerseys (not so much a design issue I admit, but makes watching a game on TV harder for the fans)3. "Patch clutter" - too many tributes, etc.4. "Top heavy" football uniforms - the pants should not be a darker color than the helmets...Tenn Titans are the worst offenders.5. Baseball uniforms in any color besides white or gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 4. "Top heavy" football uniforms - the pants should not be a darker color than the helmets...Tenn Titans are the worst offenders.I'm pretty sure I don't agree with this, but I guess I'm weird. I simply love the navy pants with the columbia jerseys (which have navy shoulders), and I'd love it more if they had white socks. It'd be a great "bracketing" effect (I don't really have a better term for it). Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

I know they have "Aggies" spelled out on the back--quite largely, too.I also know that FAMU did this same thing for a while, spelling out "Rattlers" on the nameplates. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltravisjr Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wearing big pants isn't really a Bad Design Trend, per se, since they're not being designed as such. Manny Ramirez just happens to wear oversized pants like the models from the diet commercials that show how big their old pants were.Manny's pants weren't designed to be warn that way (i.e. to the cleats)? How long would the legs have to be for the guy those pants were designed for then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just know the Patriots would do it if they could get away with it, too.The "Yankees" get a free pass? Please. How about any team that has at least 100 years of history can do it. How about even just 75 years of history? That works too.The Red Sox do it the RIGHT way. They only have the names on the ROAD uniform, which is how it should be. No need for the names at home. I've always liked that and wished more teams would follow that design. Its far from pretentious for a team with their history to do it. Now, if we're talking about a team like the Marlins or Rays then thats a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Elasta-belt baseball pants.And while we're in the late 70s/early 80s ... all powder blue baseball road unis. (The Royals and Jays were the only ones who were remotely close to making it work)Maybe it's because it was the look I grew up with, but I always liked the Brewers powder blues. I'd rather see modern powder blues downs than grey forced into a color scheme that it doesn't flow with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnapHook Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The first thing that comes to mind for me is the cartoony/huge logo on front jersey trend the NBA went with in the 90's. Teams like Houston, Detroit, Milwaukee, Utah, Atlanta, etc.. all suffered through this period.Amen. I'd also add this one to that category...
