phutmasterflex Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 The only new cap the A's will need is a replacement for their current "O" cap.What cap is that?

Magnum Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Sarcasm? If it exists, must be a fan cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 The interlocking "SJ" logo would have to get a bit of tweaking so it doesn't resemble a $ symbol. But could be cool.Given the A's recent claim to fame, I actually think it would work as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 They're not just gonna take the logo of another team like that. "Hey Giants we're not only gonna kick you outta town, but we're also gonna give them you're minor league team's, also named the Giants, logo." That'll smooth over negotiations. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Frankly I don't think that would be too awful of an idea. The people of San Jose and the A's wouldn't care if there was a Dodgers logo slapped on their hat, just as long as the A's can get moving to San Jose and thrive rather than hang on by a desperate thread in Oakland. Plus the people of San Jose can identify with that logo, it's a good logo, and it's never been used in MLB before. It'd be a decent nod to the past. And they wouldn't be the first team to use an old Giants logo as their primary cap logo On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Ideal for a wandering franchise.Philadelphia to Kansas City to Oakland to San Jose (maybe). I guess "wandering franchise" is the perfect description for them. Hopefully San Jose can be a permanent locale for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosrs1 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The only new cap the A's will need is a replacement for their current "O" cap.Doesn't have to be the SJ from the San Jose Giants obviously. The MLB Giants explored a couple of variations for their potential caps when they nearly moved to San Jose in 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 As much as I generally dislike team identities that utilize the letter from their nickname in the design I give the A's an easy pass on their logo. It just works in so many ways. There is no need for them to include any city specific logo or word mark for their caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought San Jose was ruled out by the time 1991 rolled around, and that the Tampa Bay sets were being create (which I have seen in a 60 Minutes feature).

I have them on my other computer. Both were the 80's style like their "SF" at the time. But one had the same S with a smaller J interlocking within the larger S. The second was just their 80's "SF" with "SJ" instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well, this is what Liebe describes as the current A's font:Obviously the "O" is inaccurate, but something in between what we have now and what NDwas posted.

NDwas Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm fairly certain the A's wouldn't use Old-English style letters in a script style. With that in mind, I altered my previous script. Here's the revised product: Tomorrow's just your future yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
