TheOldRoman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 When I see the '90s Angels uniform next to the modern Angels uniform, I'm not as sure as I used to be that the latter is an improvement.I am guessing you mean the early/mid '90s uniforms and not the fecal matter Lights Out posted, correct? If so, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 No navy and periwinkle uniform?*Uniform vomit removed*Angels, I am disappoint. You are high.They were never going to bring those back. Not only are they a complete departure from the common thread of Angels uniforms (Mostly blue, and No Halo), it was also easily the worst era of Angels baseball from all standpoints (ownership, on-field performance, off-field promotions/stadium gimmicks, and uniforms).That era is safely left in the trash can, and will never be spoken of in a fond light or will ever see light again.(Pisses me off to no end to see New Era producing all those gaudy fashion caps with the winged-A on it, and most of all people actually buying and wearing them. I would only buy a hat to display as nostaglia from my childhood and purely that. It would never be worn. If I'm wearing my 90s childhood nostalgia, it's the California Angels "CA" cap.) | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTr1pleXx Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Seeing all those uniforms together shows me that while their original uniform from 1961 was great, that the Angels have never looked better than they do today.I may not like the Angels one bit, but I love their home uniform (road uniforms needs a city name... if they could ever decide on what city they're from). Still, will be cool to see some of those throwbacks be trotted out this year, especially the 1961 one. 1923 1927 1928 1932 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1943 1947 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1956 1958 1961 1962 1977 1978 1996 1998 1999 2000 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Call me crazy, but I don't think the navy-and-periwinkle look was nearly as bad as its reputation. The scripts looked really nice, as did the color scheme. The only weaknesses in my eyes are the lack of a halo in any of the main logos/scripts, and the number font.But regardless, they should wear that uniform just for completion's sake. You can't just retcon a whole era of the organization out of its past, and the team DID wear those uniforms, like it or not.

TFoA Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 No navy and periwinkle uniform?Angels, I am disappoint. That uniform is the only downside to the 1999 N64 classic "Ken Griffey Jr's Slugfest." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wordmark is awful, as is the logo derived from it. If the Brewers can skip a uniform or two in their retrospective, so can the Angels. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

xTr1pleXx Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Honestly, they should wear the navy-and-periwinkle unis one time as a throwback. Sure, they're hideous, but it is a part of Angels history, and a fairly recent part at that. 1923 1927 1928 1932 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1943 1947 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1956 1958 1961 1962 1977 1978 1996 1998 1999 2000 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 The Angels Periwinkles aren't bad, they just aren't great. The wordmark is okay, but when you compare it to the other Angels uniforms it does look bad. What I've always loved about the set was the number font that they used. It was creative without being "cutesy", and this coming from a guy who prefers block number fonts. Actually, the one thing I don't like on the Flashback Fridays, is the fact that they are going with the '89 set instead of the early to mid 80's set with a thinner halo which looks so much better!

Mings Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 If only Leslie Nielsen were still with us. He could throw out the first pitch on Naked Gun Night, and Danny Glover can throw it out on Angels in the Outfield Night.Were there movies with the 60s and 70s unis? If so, Flashback Friday becomes Movies we were in Nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I agree.Oh, yeah, of course. The Disney uniforms sucked for spare change. But with the 1993-96 jersey right next to the current one, the simpler lettering just looks more appealing. No weird floating grey shadows or slightly odd letter shapes, just simplicity with a twist. What I used to think of as a really bland '90s uniform in the vein of the pre-teal Mariners or blue/orange Padres is actually a really solid piece of work. I'd stop short of "elegant," but it really looks good. Even the navy hats, which I've opposed on a strict Dodger-blue-Angel-red basis, present a worthy challenge. EDIT: Oh, and no commentary on the throwback in this picture would be complete without noting that Danny Haren perpetually appears blazed out of his gourd. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gEO 3b 4 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Also, based on this picture, and this mock-up the Angels posted on their Facebook, I don't know if the halo is on the "LA" hat.http://yfrog.com/hsaf04jIt does have a halo. You can barely make it out in this picture but it's there.AWESOME! Can't wait to buy it.In the pics it looks like the CA logo cap has the 50th anniversary patch on the side. I imagine this will be the case with all of the hats. Can anyone confirm or deny this?EDIT: Nevermind, I found confirmation lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire look was a shoddy amalgalm of poor ideas, not the least of which was putting the Angels in pinstripes for the first time in their 37-year history.I've got some out-there tastes and like some non-traditional stuff, but your entire posting history in this section of the board consists of heaping praise on looks that have been justifiably derided far and wide. You're like a visual troll. Just buy yourself a Border City Bandits jersey already and be done with it.

You're like a visual troll. Just buy yourself a Border City Bandits jersey already and be done with it.I think that might be the biggest problem with the uniforms, is that they might as well have been made for a completely different team.The Angels have always been a primary-red, secondary-blue team, and this uniform switched them up. The never-worn pinstripes. The faux vest (even though I hated them, the red 00s vests were actually vest). The lack of the halo and the inclusion of the wing. Everything was completely different, and none of it for the better.Hell, to be perfectly honest and as a fan of both teams, those Angels uniforms looked like even more of a pure Disney creation than the Mighty Ducks uniforms were. Those looked like they were straight out a cartoon more so than the Ducks ones.And like I said before, I associate these uniforms with the all-around absolute worst years as an Angel fan. The uniform. The team. Michael Eisner. Those stupid bear mascots Disney made. And while I like the opened up outfield, the Disneyland rock fountain could definitely be remodeled. If there was an entire uniform era in any sport or any franchise that could be retconned, it'd be the Disney/pre-Scioscia and 2002/periwinkle Angels years. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Just buy yourself a Border City Bandits jersey already and be done with it.Ew, that neon green monstrosity? Even I have limits. For the record, I'll never understand the opinion here that if the majority of the boards hates a uniform, everyone has to. I don't think that Angels set was perfect, but it looked nice. It might not have been right for the Angels but it still wasn't a terrible set. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just for kicks, they should trot out the unused Disney set:Slightly lighter Navy, horrendous sleeve stripes, and the pinstriped White cap.Neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just a troll who tries to be different and seeks out situations in which you'd be the minority just so you can start trouble by being the David vs. the board's Goliath, or the minority who's being bullied or singled out.

Lights Out Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 If you think I come here to troll, you're wrong. I have better things to do with my life than trolling an Internet forum.
