Drew22 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I made some changes to what I think the LA Dodgers should be wearing. I stuck with the old Dodger Blue, but I added silver accents. I got rid of the red number, since I think it looks stupid and out of place. I added some piping to the jerseys and brought back a blue alternate jersey.

JayJaxon Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 These look great. I have never been able to find an explanation as to why they use red numbers, but I'm glad you got rid of them. Everything looks great here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I too am glad there is no red. I really don't have any complaints about this concept. Great job! https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrxmt Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well, those red numbers have been there since 1952, so that is a lot of tradition to mess with. Overall I really like these. I would give them a solid B+ or maybe an A-.Not a big fan of the pants striping as I think it would look a little too 80ish. I also think the sleeve stripes on the home would look better as blue-white-blue, but in both cases I understand why you did it the way you did. LOVE the socks (even if you would never see them on Ramirez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swilson160 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Nice, but you've got to keep the red numbers. The red numbers are what makes the team instantly identifiable as the Dodgers, even before you read the name on the jersey. If you make the numbers blue, then they're just the Royals with a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dodgers' current look is what I would call iconic. Removing the red makes it ironic. Red is an integral part of the Dodger's identity, and it has been for as long as I remember. For as long as I can remember, the Royals have been simply blue and white. You tried so hard to "make the Dodgers look like the Dodgers" that you did the exact opposite. That's ironic.

kewp80 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 What about when they were the Brooklyn Dodgers? No red numbers back then. Besides, the Dodgers have been around before the Royals, so can I say that the Royals are a Dodgers knockoff?I think the concept looks great, I've always hated the red numbers. One question though: why aren't the number fonts the same? The home and away numbers look different. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

Krona Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 if i cant say anything nice, i shouldnt say anything at all. i will anyways. youve destroyed a classic. if you want to re-do the dodgers on the premise of messing with an icon just to see what it'd be like, go for it. but saying you improved my beloved boys in blue by removing red and adding silver gets you on the :censored:list right next to Fox NewsCorp.

McCall Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The Dodgers were the first team in Major League history to implore the front number, back in 1952 (and would have it for their final 6 seasons in Brooklyn). It has been red since they adopted it. The Royals wanted to look like the Dodgers of the midwest, but with this, even with the touches of silver, the Dodgers now look like the Royals of the west coast and that's just insulting... to the Dodgers.All blue script and numbers with blue piping on sleeves and pants (Again, the silver isn't enough to differentiate) added to the blue cap with white logo makes it too Royals-esque. The red number is a MUST to stay. Actually, their home uniforms, other than the sometimes change in sleeve logo, really never need to be touched. And, IMO, their current roads look great couple with their homes, even if they have touches of piping not found on the home set. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ditched them because they look out of place.The short answer is tradition. I don't mean that glibly, because I think in this case it is important. The uniforms are one of the things that keep the link between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the LA Dodgers. And as far as relocated teams are concerned I think the link between the old and the new with this franchise is vital. It would be criminal if the Brooklyn Dodgers were lost to the annals of time. People in my view have to look at the uni and draw a comparison between the current team and the likes of Roy Campanella, Duke Snyder, Jackie Robinson and the whole of the 50s Dodgers teams. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
