ThePreacher Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 And Sorry, Preacher.On first read it came off as advocating them, but I misinterpreted it. My apologies. But my statement still stands, the softball jerseys are the suck No worries, I agree wholeheartedly. The only thing that sucks more than that failed re-brand was one Disney exec's idea to re-name the "Mighty Angels of Anaheim", which is slightly less stupid than Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I mean, I get "Orange County Angels of Anaheim", but why attempt to exploit the name of a big city that's separated by over 35 miles of houses, freeways, buildings, cultures, people and terrain? Idiocy at it's finest from Phoenix Arte Moreno of Tuscon. ANAHEIM ANGELS FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I know I mentioned these a long time ago, but we should all be thankful that the Angels didn't go through with this version of the Disney-Periwinkle set...complete with some bizarre shoulder striping and a lighter Navy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pinstripes on the sleeves *and* weird piping around the shoulders???That idea should have been rejected about 2 seconds after it popped into someone's head. It's frightening that it made it far enough along to even have concepts drawn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 What's the difference between periwinkle and the '70s powder blue that everyone gets all excited about? From my memories, the actual '70s version of "powder" blue was actually much darker than the throwbacks (and people's memories) seem to make it out to be, but I could be mistaken.

Bmac Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Well, I must tell the truth. So...I kinda like the periwinkle Angels set. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that those are the uniforms my little league baseball team wore for awhile, so I feel tied to them. But the design itself isn't that bad. I think their 2002 upgrade was great though.The periwinkle set will always hold a special place in my heart... https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Six Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Combining the periwinkle with the current uniform design would be nice. No more dumb red, put a city's name on the roads (any city's), and get a shoulder logo that isn't exactly the same as the main one, and they're good.
