demondg1 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I gotta tell you, the Cards and Tigers don't look too bad. Not great that's for sure. But not wretched like the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The Cards were really the only team to have fun with the concept of a "futuristic" uniform with the robo-cardinals. Almost everyone else just slapped giant versions of their logos onto the jerseys.

I would like to have been a fly on the wall in that board meeting when they were discussing what the future would be like. Shouldn't the players have all been robots too? Or at least move around the field like robots? "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

The Twins tweaked their logo, giving it a NASA twist, and the Brewers introduced an updated version of a retro logo they hadn't worn in two decades.But as for teams like the Red Sox and Giants, I'll agree.Best line came from Steinbrenner - when asked why the Yankees didn't participate in the "Turn Ahead the Clock" promotion, he replied "We did."

OnWis97 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The Mercury Mets TATC uniforms worked. Their relocation threat landed them a nice ballpark. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Lights Out Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Best line came from Steinbrenner - when asked why the Yankees didn't participate in the "Turn Ahead the Clock" promotion, he replied "We did." Further proving the elitism and arrogance of the Yankees. That quote just smacked of "we're just better than the rest of the league, we're too good to participate in league promotions."

That quote just smacked of "we're just better than the rest of the league, we're too good to participate in league promotions."Don't get me wrong. I'm a card carrying New York Yankees Hater*. But I found the line to be pretty funny. The Yankees have THE most iconic look in American professional sports. They didn't need to take part in a silly TATC promotion. *sports hate that isThe Cards were really the only team to have fun with the concept of a "futuristic" uniform with the robo-cardinals.

Very creative/nice indeed. Anywhere know where I can get a TATC Brewers hat?

Lights Out Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Just because they have an iconic uniform doesn't mean they're automatically above having some fun for a couple games. Ironically, it probably would've helped the Yankees' brand to participate, because it would show that even though they've been wearing the same uniforms forever, they can still have fun for a couple games.I would've loved to see the Yankees come out with some cool futuristic pinstripes.

Bmac Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 The Twins shoulder patch looks different than the regular primary logo. Was it? https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Notice the sleeve patch?What is it? Looks cool.It's the A's white elephant alternate logo. But it looks like they added wings or something to it for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 The only futuristic aspect of the Tigers TATC uniforms appear to be their back fonts.The first TATC game was a one-shot Royals game in the Kingdome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJworks Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I actually like Detroit's TATC homes. It's just those ugly sleeves...Oh, and what's up with Johnny Damon in that pic? Dribbble | Twitter | Facebook | Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespungo Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I've yet to find any game pictures of the navy Angels TAtC jerseys -- anyone here have any? I have a blank jersey I'd like to get lettered but I need a good reference picture.Also, no mention in this thread of the navy Tigers jersey with the orange tail that wraps around the front and back. I've never seen the more traditional grey road TAtC jersey, I thought they were planning to wear the navy jerseys on the road in Boston (which was rained out and never rescheduled).

Quillz Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I assume the Dodgers didn't partake in this? I know they had a short lived alternate uniform in 1999, but I don't think it was a TAtC alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 ...and for another teaser, here's the A's uniform:One thing I should mention; tohasbo posted scans given to him by Paul Lukas...those scans were done by me from Paul's hardcopy, on my crappy POS scanner a couple of years ago...I wanted to take the blame for the bad quality of those images...but I hope to make up for them with better renditions...

As did the Yankees (as mentioned above), Cubs, Blue Jays, Reds, Expos, Rangers, and - unfortunately - Astros. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
