The big logos, big stripes, and sublimated mesh on their own would be bad, but they look so oddly perfect together. It’s also nice to see red with such prominence in the design, justifying the red facemask. The NASCAR numbers I could do without, but the idea to use drop shadows was an inspired one. 3 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it when teams just have logos on sleeve and the old pewter was ugly, so I agree. But I also go even further to LIKING the current look. Other than the numbers the new set is an upgrade IMO, which I've posted before. The larger logo is awesome, all the logos are improved, and the pants stripes are cool rather than boring. Chrome facemask is pointless but facemasks are one of those details that people go nuts about that I don't care about at all (for instance, the Browns have been white, gray, and brown and I've liked them all). I also don't mind the Jags current look. It's maybe my favorite look of theirs but they need to balance their colors better and get rid of the stupid helmet (that's the only egregious part of the look, which I totally get hating relentlessly). I wish they focused on their "teal" like many others. Also, the JAGS shield is awesome. Shields are great (ironically, not a fan of the Cavs shield, but that's because of the use of black). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really respect the Dodgers for keeping it simple and classy but I just cannot understand why they don't wear this jersey during the regular season. It's beautiful, and I think that if they only wore it a few times year at the most, it would be the perfect alternate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a color version of their regular jersey, which is the best kind of color alt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really nice but you gotta especially respect it because it prevents the slippery slope of over-wearing the alt as many teams do.

mcj882000 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Tacky, busy, and just plain stupid: How are these popular, especially around here? I just don't get it. A lot of those crazy bad uniforms from the 90s look tame compared to these. (Actually, that might answer my question - stupid 90s stuff is in right now. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, they already do that with their “alternate” road jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I don't see the love for the Titans sword logo. It's not that great and the primary is far better suited to be placed on a uniform. People who want the primary and secondary to swap places blow my mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather them wear this than the gray “Dodgers” jersey if they have to have an alternate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fashion was never tackier than in the 90s, and sports uniforms epitomized that. Leave the 90s nostalgia for TV shows and WWF ice cream sandwiches. Keep it out of sports uniforms, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, most of the uniforms that came out in the 90s I either loathe or like ironically, meaning I like it because it's stupid but never wanna see it actually come back ever again, except maybe as an April Fools' Day stunt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some good fashion that decade. Flannel's comeback was nice, and some of the bagginess was OK (just as a reaction to 1980s tightness - all fashion trends are reactions to the ones that preceded them). However, the bad trends of the decade just wound up looking exceptionally garish in the modern period: A lot of ill-fitting colors, excessive bagginess, and the overuse of graphics really looks nasty in retrospect. Some of it was a reaction to the 1980s or the early-1990s, while some of it was pushing burgeoning graphics software too far. Just because Adobe Illustrator 5 or 6.1 let you use gradients and cool text features doesn't mean that it was a good idea to throw it all together. The same went for uniforms of the time. Some of it turned out well, while some of it was wacky experimentation with new tools. For every tasteful design, you got a terrible one to go with it: Speaking of the above images, unpopular opinion is that I have a soft spot for the 1998-2007 Sharks' uniforms. While I have no illusions about their poor quality or the baggy tailoring, I can't help but love the wacky elements coming together. I know they're garish, but I like them more than anything the Sharks have done post-2007 with those dull colors. 1 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
