BBTV Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 A lot of the players wore eye black that said 7-20 on it as well.We remember? It was just the other day - how could you forget? Maybe wear these every 7/20 for the next few years, but it just stupid now. Maybe "in memory of the victims" or something would be more appropriate.

You're gonna bicker about their choice of wording, especially when it's still something tasteful, in the wake of a tragic mass murder in their area? It's the same sentiment.

CanesCop86 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Wow Some people are taking asthetics to a whole knew level. Are we really more worried about the look and less about why, especially for something that wasnt even worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uuh70 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Is it just me or are a lot of players going high socks today? I know for my hometown Dodgers, Tony Gwynn Jr usually goes stirrups for day games but watching MLB Tonight I have seen a lot more players wearing stirrups today and solid socks. Looks more aesthetically pleasing than everyone wearing pajama pants!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Speaking of the Marlins, have they only worn their orange caps a few times this year? Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 When I first saw this, I thought "What is the significance of 7-20 to the White Sox?" Eventually I saw the purple, figured out it was the Rocks, and made the connection, but geesh... if that's not a sign that Colorado is in desperate need of a rebrand...

Stop being an @$ and get over it.Get over yourself you rube. So because there was a tragic murder, we can't comment on a tribute that appears on a uniform on a forum where we critique uniforms? Should the rest of the thread be "gods bless the victims"? F that. All that stuff can go in the lounge (as it is.) On this forum, I'm going to comment on topics that have to do with logos and uniforms, and oh look - there's a change to a uniform.I do think it's a poorly-worded tribute, and a very poorly-executed one as well. A tragic accident doesn't make anyone immune to criticism in a forum that specifically exists to critique these kinds of things. It would make a lot more sense to do a "we remember" tribute in the future. The word remember kind of implies that you're in the future already. What they're doing is simply "acknowledging" the incident, and I think that "support the victims", or "in memory of the victims", or something like that wold be more appropriate. Feel free to debate me based on my opinions, if you have the capacity to do so.Oh - and to the poster who thought that this was a White Sox jersey - yeah, I agree that the purple is so minimal that it does look too close to the White Sox, which has been one of their issues since they came in to the league. Purple and pine would be so goddam perfect for this team. There have been a few good concepts (ironically enough, one by Mccall I think) that show how much better their color scheme could be.

Have some f-ing class.Since you obviously can't discuss sports logos and uniforms on a sports logos and uniforms board, perhaps you should limit yourself to the lounge. There was nothing classless about my opinion regarding the uniform. I stated my oposition and backed it up with my reasoning and suggestions to make it better. That's pretty much exactly what we do here. Your post couldn't be more off base. It's irrelevant what their thought was. This IS the place to discuss "what's the most aesthetically pleasing look for some jackasses on a sports logo forum." If you're not mature enough to see that, please stop posting in this forum. We discuss memorial patches all the time. This is no different.If a mod feels that I've gone too far, please sanction me.

Gothamite Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I look at that jersey and the first thing I notice is much double-outlines always suck. There is no reason for the loops of the "R"s and "B" to be filled in with silver, unless the intent is to make the words less legible. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

They have (had?) the opportunity to make purple their colour, but instead, they've gone the route the Marlins and used such colour to an absolute minimum, and have ended up looking like the White Sox in the process. Purple/black would have been so unique, and, more importantly, great-looking. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

The numbers and letters are silver with purple and white outlines. But I agree with you, and that is one of the things which greatly downgrades the White Sox' black alternates. Do other teams with double outlines have that problem? The only current one I can think of is the Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
