oddball Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I got this newsletter in my email today and was wondering if anyone heard anything on tweaks to the Angels uniforms for next year or something new.50th Anniversary Kick-Off Event this Friday Come out to the Angel Stadium home plate gate hats this Friday September 24th between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. This will mark the official start to the year-long, Angels Baseball 50th Anniversary celebration.

LMU Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Since they only mention three uniforms, maybe they're finally ditching the vests. I'd just like them to get rid of the uninspired sleeve patch and put the anniversary patch there. Now, to pray that the anniversary logo is another Radom gem.

UnclearInitial Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'm just hoping the Angels put "LOS ANGELES" on the roads...Either anaheim or Anaheim of L.A. which would display moreno's genius. 60th post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Please get new uniforms. They're current set is such a snoozefest. And put Los Angeles on the road uniforms finally! facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirwuf Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It seems obvious that they wouldn't be putting the uniforms on display unless there was some notable difference from the current ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I hope they don't go the "easy" route and just wear throwbacks all season. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing the current A logo on a navy + red billed hat. Maybe as the road hat, or at least an alternate. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Please get new uniforms. They're current set is such a snoozefest. And put Los Angeles on the road uniforms finally!The current set is a modern classic.I hope the only changes are a new 50th anniversary sleeve patch (by Todd Radom) and maybe some one-year-only gold trim.

NDwas Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 From what I've seen so far, and I know I can't say much here...#1 - the vest is gone - and #2 - the anniversary logo isn't breathtaking, but it's still pretty good. Other than that and every team getting new BP unis, the other changes are quite small. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNRed Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 That was quick. The team press release spills the beans:There were many factors important to the Angels when development of the logo began. The first was the gold halo, signifying the club's Golden Anniversary. It also pays homage to the Angels previous usage of a gold halo on past club marks. The logo conveys the celebration of 50 years of Angels Baseball, signified by the number 50 in club numbering featured predominantly beneath the halo. The ribbon below celebrates the club's expansion in 1961 through 2011 prosperity. Finally, the "A" logo and use of the color red emphasize the current brand imagery.The Angels will commemorate the Golden Anniversary on-field with enhancements to the 2011 club uniforms. In lieu of the current silver halo, Angel hats will now feature a gold halo around the primary "A" logo as well as a 50th anniversary patch affixed to the left side. On the front of the club's home, road, and alternate red jerseys, a gold halo is featured on the "A" of the club lettering. The 50th anniversary patch will appear on the right sleeve, while an "A" patch with gold halo will be featured on the left sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Tremendous! One of the few flaws with the Angels' set is that the halo is silver rather than its traditional gold. I hope by "gold" they mean the athletic gold/yellow that they'd worn for so many years. I hope this winds up being a permanent change by popular demand. Great move. SilverRed, how would you feel about this as an Angels primary?Fundamentals of the "Angels Baseball" logo with gold halo, no more beveling, and no stupid "Angels Baseball" line. Ends up being the old California Angels primary without California in it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I would love the Angels to wear throwbacks, with the old Halo hats from the 60's. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Ummm, okay. I thought inaugural season stadium patches on the caps was pushing it, but now a 50th ann'y patch? Shoot me now! Come to think of it why do they need patches on the caps in the first place? Only logical reason I can think of is to sell more merchandise. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ends up being the old California Angels primary without California in it. That's a cool sleeve patch. I've always wanted one where they had a pair of wings on the A. I wish they could bring back the state of California, but I guess it doesn't make sense anymore. I'd also love to see something completely new -- an angel holding a bat? I definitely prefer the beveled A, though, because I think that stands out better on a red hat. I'm also leery about switching to a gold halo permanently since we won the World Series with a silver halo. (Yep, I really like the current uniforms.) One year with a gold halo again should be awesome though. I'm guessing they're going to go with a shiny metallic gold (not a yellow-gold) since that seems more anniversary-ish. And I'm already dreading how much money buying all this new stuff is going to cost me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
