bigcoyotes Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Lukas said today that the Giants will add a road alternate jersey soon.I'm sure it'll be a big surprise based on what they already have in their set. (ie: it's going to be black with "GIANTS" on the front).I was surprised when I saw it... I'm pretty sure what they're doing is a first for an alternate jersey.I'm guessing a 2nd road gray with the San Francisco script they use on the Jackets. Id rather it be black but I cant complain if its a 2nd gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hopefully there's placket piping, and maybe a front number to set it apart from the regular roads. Two gray jerseys really borders on pointless, even in an era where a 4-jersey set is fairly standard.

Quillz Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 That 80s road gray isn't bad, but I hope the modernization uses both the more recent monogram rendition, as well as the standard Giants' block font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Horrible. I am against cap logos on jerseys in almost all instances (*cough* Pirates *cough*). Cap logos get the job done on caps - you have a small space in which to make your point, and 1-2 letters to do it with. The jersey should expand the identity. Not only is this taking away the times we get to see the classic road jersey, but the design of the '80s set was awful with piping combined with a clunky striping. There is no reason to go back to that. When I see that, I think quitisential terrible '80s Rawlings jersey. I imagine the new version will have the triple stripes around the placket and sleeves, but it will still be a massive downgrade from their regular road set.

Personally I think the Pirates P looks great on a jersey. Honestly (and this isn't a shot at you by any means, really just a uniform opinion) one of the only instances of "cap logo on jersey" that I don't like is the White Sox. I think a "White Sox" script that matches the "Chicago" road script would be the best.Another reason that I am excited about these coming back, though, is that while I do like cap logos on jerseys, almost every current instance of it that I can think of is on a home jersey. In most cases, the cap insignia (Yankees NY being the example) stands for the city name. Since it represents the city, not the team name, I think they belong on road grays more than home whites.

TheOldRoman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I think the Pirates alt is bad. They should have brought back the previous black alt with the newest wordmark and added piping. The Sox home jersey is one of the few I like. I am not particularly fond of the Yankees or Tigers jerseys, but I wouldn't change them if given the chance. For the White Sox, not only is it traditional for them to have a Sox logo on the chest (whether it's the old-English one or the large S with the o x inside), but they have never had a decent script logo. They tried a script in 1987 and it looked like something generic ordered by catalogue. What else could they do, block letters? Too plain. Tuscan letters like they used in the late '70s? Too Red Sox.

kestrel79 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I like seeing all these little logo updates from a lot of the teams. Dodgers, Indians, SF. Come on Brewers, add the "Milwaukee" script on road grays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 It depends on the team. Quite honestly, the only ones that can pull it off are the Yankees, White Sox and Tigers. Maybe it's something to do with the jerseys being white rather than grey or black. Oh yeah ... the A's too. I think their emblem in green on the white home jerseys were good but they got rid of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should bring that back for the dugout jackets, but nothing else. Just so there's something in the set that actually says "White Sox." I want the Tigers to wear a jacket that says "Tigers" for the same reason. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
