Unpopular Opinions

[Legend]

As horrible as the Blue Jays' 2004-2011 look was, I do think having a graphite/gray cap should get some points for, at the very least, being "unique."

I loved the Blue Jays look with black, blue, and gray.

Uniqueness no longer gets you anything apparently.

Stellar contribution with the picture. Really added to this thread.

Some of us, myself included, appreciate when a team does something unique and not a carbon copy of the past or of other teams.

Agreed. I liked the graphite cap. It wasn't only unique - it looked good. I wish they had at least kept it as an alternate.

I think his point is valid - unique by itself is neutral, neither good nor bad. It's entirely up to what they do with it.

Myself, I loved the graphite cap but hated everything else about that set. Dark gray is a sadly underused color in sports. Or maybe I'm just sad that my Admirals traded their gorgeous gray sweaters for yet another black sweater.

...my Admirals traded their gorgeous gray sweaters...

When'd they have those? All I remember is the really crappy ones they had with the dumb kid pirate logo.

I think that the Patriots current look is far and away the best thing that franchise ever wore.

Is that even an unpopular opinion?

With all of the love that Pat Patriot and red unis get around these parts I would say so.

The Mariners' set is terrible.

The Mariners' set is terrible.

Care to elaborate? I respect that you have your own opinion, but is there any particular reason why you think they are terrible?

Eh, a few things. I just think that the colors are kind of outdated, and it's hard to make a combination like that work. Navy/Turquoise/silver all look dark and I personally don't like how they mix together. They don't really have a color that pops off the other. I'm not overly sure exactly, but everytime I see the logo I pick out things I don't like and wish they updated it. It would be sweet to see Seattle match all the teams' colors.

But I can definitely say it's that damn aqua color being used a lot.

I think with a few minor tweaks, the Padres' new set would be one of the top 5 in the league. Just put the swinging friar on the sleeve of each jersey (except the military alt) and outline the road script and numbers with sand, and voila. Perfect. The double sleeve piping is really, really great especially.

Seeing as how the Padres have been a "blue team" all my life, them keeping blue doesn't bother me at all. I guess it's just one of those examples of your particular generation influencing your preferences in uniforms. While I would have welcomed brown, the Padres will probably always be a "blue team" to me.

First off, what Goth said. A unique set that looks terrible isn't suddenly good just because it's unique.

Secondly the Jays didn't "carbon copy" the past. They took the classic look and updated it.

As for the graphite cap? Sorry loooooogodude. Unique or not, it doesn't fit in with the current set. Different colours and logos.

I love a lot of the BFBS jerseys that everyone tends to be in an uproar about. Although I wasn't in love with the Mets, I like a lot of the ones that combine black and royal blue.

[Fox]

I liked the old Royals powder blues with a blue wordmark more than the new ones with a white script

[zer0dotcom]

I haven't heard a person I know yet say they don't like the new Blue Jays identity...I think I'm the only person in the GTA that doesn't like it

[AnythingChicago]

I loved this look for the Pirates. But it could have used a P outlined in red and a red bill for the cap.

That's the way I look at most unique things too. Just because Team A adopts a purple and orange color scheme that no one else in the league has, doesn't make it good. It's unique, sure, but unique =/= good.

But "unique" doesn't necessarily mean "bad," either. You should consider looks based on how good they look in addition to how unique they are. Just because Team A adopts (insert unique color combo here that no one else has) doesn't make it bad. Unique sometimes =/= good, not always. You should look at things on a case-by-case basis, or else you're going to throw out a lot of good, original looks.

And sorry, Ice_Crap. You misunderstood me. I was saying they should have kept the graphite cap as an alternate during their last set instead of ditching it after just two seasons. Obviously it wouldn't fit at all in their current set.

[IceCap]

My mistake then. Sorry about that. Internet and all

Agreed.

Don't see what the big issue was with these.

I liked these too. I thought they were unique... AND looked decent.

I imagine most of the dislike of them was regarding the fact that a lot of people thought red shouldn't have been a part of their color scheme to begin with. But I didn't mind them.

Remove the gold from that jersey and it is much more presentable.

To me, it looks like a confluence of ketchup and mustard. Awful clash of gold and red.
