The_Admiral Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Royals did it first and better. Rays should've used like an Eagles green instead of navy. Oh well. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespungo Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Is the Rays jersey actually a darker shade of their light blue, or is that just how it comes across in the photograph and it will be much lighter when we see it on the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 The Rays jerseys is so close, but they messed it up. They finally put outlines on the names, and instead of having them match the numbers they flip the colors? Silly. I know they are essentially using the same numbers as on the navy alternate, but 1) you don't need "font color continuity", and 2)the navy alts suck, and would look better if the logo and name/numbers were light blue with a white outline. This jersey would look a lot better with navy letters outlined in white. I know the player's name is the least important part of the jersey, but this will be washed out from the stands and probably washed out on TV in any shot other than a close up.I also agree that the old "Tulane" colors TB used were better (minus the black), but oh well. This could still be a solid, albeit generic, set if they made a few tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, the Royals?Was this darker powder blue some sort of manufacturing mistake? Will we hear anything about this when it's unveiled?

thespungo Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yep, that looks about right. Thanks for the insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Royals did it first and better. Rays should've used like an Eagles green instead of navy. Oh well.I actually prefer the Rays' execution of this. (I agree with you on the colors, though: the Rays should have gone with either light blue and dark green or navy and bright green.) But considering how many teams have navy alts or red alts, or even both, I don't mind if a couple of teams have light blue alts. Bonus points to the Rays, though, for light blue actually being a team color.Now if only the Rays would drop the navy alt, they'd be just a couple of tweaks away from having a respectable B-plus uni set.

Bouj Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Worst part of Rays' alt: nameplate. Major League franchises shouldn't be wearing nameplates.But I like powder blue jerseys (NOT pants though), so it's a win. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Gothamite Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Very nice. So when are we going to see the Brewers' road alt? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major League franchises shouldn't be wearing nameplates.But I like powder blue jerseys (NOT pants though), so it's a win.In a sport like baseball where players go to and from the minors (and change teams) frequently, I'd think nameplates would be almost a necessity. Personally, I feel the exact opposite - I just don't like direct-stitching. Reminds me too much of basketball.

JayJaxon Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think the jersey looks pretty cool. They can drop the navy alt and still have a Navy BP jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 MLBShop has temporarily pulled them down off of the site. Maybe someone jumped the gun. Too bad. I almost talked myself into buying one.

M59 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 New Rays JerseyNot bad, but I still think the Rays' set needs front numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevTy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I kind of wish they would incorporate the gold/yellow into their uniforms a little more, though I'm not sure how. Perhaps a small sunburst on the hat? That would really differentiate them from the other blue teams in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 That's a good idea. I took it one step further and went back to dark green instead of the dark blue they use now, so that there's a little more continuity with the franchise: ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
