BBTV Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Personally, I don't like the white on the black uniforms. White is not a part of the Orioles's colors at all so why add it on a uniform?A little something called "contrast" maybe? It looks really cheap and unprofessional to just have orange on black without any kind of trim or outline.

Jigga Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Actually, white is one of the Orioles colors. So, I have no problem with white being used. I don't think it's necessary for "contrast" because you can see the difference just fine. The look isn't unprofessional or professional just because you like it or don't like it. Well, in our society maybe professionalism is based on personal preferences...Anyway, I don't like that white is expected to be used on all uniforms sets even if not part of their palette, but black is not to be used ever, except if part of the palette, but then should be minimized to trim/secondary usage only.

There's plenty of uniforms I don't like, who's professionalism I won't question.I call it unprofessional because it reminds me of a low-budget rec-league shirt where they don't pay for the two-color screen printing, and just get the color on color. It just looks cheap. Even if they added piping, it'd be better and at least look like something more than a BP pullover.

calhof2007 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The only white that is used on Orioles jerseys is on the home BP jersey. This jersey is new this year and I think it was changed to match the BP hats better.Orioles Home BP Jersey scriptOrioles BP hatThe year 2000 was the last time white was on the black jerseys, but it was also on the gray road jerseys.2000 Orioles Road Jersey2000 Orioles Black JerseyIn 2001, the Orioles completely removed the white from those jerseys and it has stayed that way since then.2001-Present Orioles Road Jersey (yes, I know that Baltimore is now on the road jersey but the style is still the same)2001-Present Orioles Black JerseyThe Orioles current style of script is orange lettering and a black outline. So, for me, it would make no sense to add white to the black jersey because it wouldn't match the other jerseys.Current Orioles Home Jersey ScriptCurrent Baltimore Road Jersey ScriptBlack Jersey with White Outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you took that 1999 black jersey and added placket/collar piping, it'd be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
