Lights Out Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 At least the Tigers actually made an effort, unlike the Yankees (who said "we're already wearing our future uniforms" - kinda elitist, don't you think?) or the many other teams that simply refused to be in the promotion.

I get that the other teams probably wanted a cut of the potential jersey sales that there would have been had they worn a TATC uniform, but I find it extremely difficult to fault the Yankees in this one.

Old School Fool Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The first one they did with the Royals and Mariners was a genius idea. They put effort into that in terms of literally turning ahead the clock. It'd be cool if it happened again and was nationally televised this time around.

apeman33 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow the Tigers didn't even try. lolOr... maybe they did.Really, the Tigers probably would wear that in the "future" of that year ? the current design cut to the "future" template.What's amazing to me is how little imagination some of the teams showed. The Mariners and Mets went above and beyond. The A's showed some imagination as well with the tweak in the script logo and the 3-D "A". And then there's the Braves, Indians and Angels, who just positioned their current logo differently.It's especially bad in the case of the Angels, who seemed to be changing designs every 3-4 years around this time, to think that they'd still be using that logo and color scheme that far into the future. Yeah, this whole thing was about the money. But most of the teams participating were pretty lazy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow the Tigers didn't even try. lolNo, they were just being realistic They figured they wouldn't change their look too much in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver2david Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The last one I have:It's too bad MLB messed up Detroit's home jersey logo in these files. They used the cap "D" in these illustrations whereas the real uniforms the Tigers wore that day had the usual jersey "D". Also, the Tigers never wore the road version because, if I remember correctly, there was a problem getting the jerseys shipped to I think, Boston, because of some weather-related issue.

spyboy1 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Anyone know any website that I can send my Jersey to and get an authentic font, for name and number.If Exclusive Pro Sports in Rockford, IL can't do it, no one can.Here's the back of my Twins game worn TATC in case you've never seen it before. The Twins, as shown in the previous graphic, wore red undershirts with a 60th Anniversary patch, which was a nice touch.

TruColor Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Does anybody have the Mets front logo? Out of all the sigs you posted the Tigers Road and The Redsox were never worn.Here is what was considered to be the Mercury Mets' primary logo:The Mets' logo and uniform graphics were the only ones that were presented as rasters...my theory is that these were put together in Photoshop rather than Illustrator - I don't believe AI had the gradient capabilities that it does now.
