evanmaldonado Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well yes those are all wrong. There are plenty of examples. The Oaks inaccurate cap. White Sox 72 throwback S is wrong. Yankees 1912 hat had the wrong logo. The Brooklyn Dodgers B inaccuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The only reason that photo is painful for me is because Josh Reddick is not in a Red Sox uniform in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Not really a logo change here - but hopefully a preview of one. The Illinois Lottery recently came out with instant tickets for the White Sox, Cubs and Cardinals (since downstate is mostly Cards fans). The tickets feature the primary logo at the top, and the scratch-off area is the alternate logo (cap logo in the case of the Cards). The Cubs tickets feature the primary circle logo at the top, which I took note of because the stupid pawing bear logo has been used as the default primary logo for the past 10 years or so. That logo wasn't featured on the scratch off area, either. They used the '80s sleeve logo there. Maybe it was an error to use the retro logo on these tickets, but hopefully it's a preview of planned change for the Cubs - featuring their primary logo more prominently, returning to the old cub face logo and eliminating the horrible pawing bear. I would even take the '90s revamp of the cub fans over the pawing bear. It's a really bad logo.I would love this, of course. In response to Lights Out and Bradbury, for me a lot of it is nostalgia reasons. But I also like older, simple logos, and I think it's the best of the sleeve patch bunch. And that would be the final reason: Like the White Sox's white sock, it's clearly a sleeve patch. A secondary.I'm not a fan of the walking/pawing bear partially because, like The Old Roman said, they use it as a primary too much. It was a BP cap logo at one time and of course has been the primary logo on the BP jerseys they wear as alts for far too long. I also feel its a bit repetitive to have another C logo. Is the "mad cub" the best drawing of a bear? No. But I've never thought it had to be. It likely still says "Cubs" to a lot of people, particularly those that buy merchandise. It certainly has made a comeback over the past 10 years.I don't know that this signals a switch or if one is even coming. But I think they are overdue for a upgrade.That logo almost got me backhanded by my Cardinals fan Grandfather when I was about 6 (not really). I commented that I thought it was a cool logo even though it was the cubs logo. I think I broke his heart.Its one of my first sports logos/unis memories and I still like that logo today. Its not the best rendition of a bear but I love logos that solve the problem with so few shapes and lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmets Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 With the NL wearing their road uniforms at the All Star Game right now, it's hard not to note how inferior so many NL teams' road caps are to their home caps. St. Louis, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Washington all have great home caps that aren't being showcased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would, would make the game a lot more fun if you ask me.They DO allow alts. The last few years when the Mets have worn white jerseys, those were their alts. (for example, 2006, 2009). I'm sure their are other examples. New York Mets & New York Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
