Lights Out Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Am I the only one who liked the road pinstripes? POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Am I the only one who liked the road pinstripes?I think, like this new road uniform, they were OK and just OK. But it wasn't even really because of the pinstripes. The Rockies need an overhaul badly. They really need some new scripts and a new cap logo.I really think that the team that pulled off road pinstripes the best was the Minnesota Twins. I would love to see them bring back the road pins with the current road-mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see them bring back the road pins with the current road-mark.I personally disliked the Twins road pinstripes because the letters making up the script were too narrow, and as a result they clashed horribly with the pinstripes. I would prefer not to see the Twins bring back road pinstripes in any capacity (ever), but I would have to agree that they very well could look better with the current roadmark. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Am I the only one who liked the road pinstripes?Nope. I liked them for CERTAIN teams. No problems with them on COL, MIN, and AZ/ANA (when they had them).But there are lots of teams it WOULDN'T work for. You have to really be black/navy based to pull it off. Red pinstripes work for the Phils at home and royal blue ones work for the Mets at home, but on the roads those would be atrocious. Then there's classic teams that it would ruin the uniform of, your NYY/LA/STL etc. However, on some teams it just works.I think Cleveland could make it work, as could Houston. I'm not saying they SHOULD just that they COULD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have no problem with pinstripes on roads. I like it as it spices up the roads. I don't want all teams to look the same. I liked Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota, and Cincinnati when they wore pinstripes. It's going to be sad not to see a team with road pinstripes.

While, for instance, the placket-piping look is a classic, it would be quite boring to have every team use it on their uniforms... Colorado had maintained a few distinctive marks throughout its almost 20-year existence: Purple/silver scheme, special font, pinstripes... Now they'll lose one of them for a generic road uni... so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roxfan00 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I was at the Rockies Fan Fest today and it's not an all black script...there is purple in it.

Fox Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The Rockies script is the ugliest in baseball.Inside strokes are :censored:ing terrible.+1 They really need a new set of wordmarks. The color combination of black, purple, and a touch of silver has so much potential, but doesn't look great with these scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well see, I knew there was purple in there but it's sure god awful ... just sayin, it's such a dark purple that they should have just never even added it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The uni's that the Ravens and Rockies wear should serve as a reminder that black and purple is a pretty awful color combination. Both colors are so dark by nature that they just bleed into each other and create a smock. Having purple insets in the script does nothing to actually make it look better in action. Pointless.

Quillz Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 They should have inverted the script: it's way too hard to see the purple inner strokes. By contrast, black inner strokes against purple would have been far more legible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 It's still horrible. Silver would've been a much better choice.So far, the only thing the Rockies did right was ditch the pinstripes.

WSU151 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Should have gone with straight purple outlined in white like 1994-1999 jerseys Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The only way I can see them pulling off a script like that with those colors would be to make the purple part silver, make the black part purple, keep the white outline, then add a slight black drop shadow. Or keep the inside purple, make the black part silver, then add a slight black drop shadow to that, forgoing the white outline all together.

Magnum Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 So I'm guessing they're going with an all black cap for this uni. How would a black crown and a (lighter than the the script) purple bill work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
