TFoA Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Rockies wearing purple jerseysI'm disappointed that they aren't wearing the even-more elusive purple hats to go with it, but still......This is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalktoChuck Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 If they aren't going to wear the purple hat with these, then they need to at least wear the black with purple brim hat. With that said, I love these jerseys and hope this isn't a one time thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trident M Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 ... they need to at least wear the black with purple brim hat. ^This.I have no idea why, but I've always had a soft spot for the Rockies' CR hat. Especially the all-purple one. And I normally hate purple. Mariners | Sounders FC | Seahawks | Washington State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sharp look there for the Rockies. Hopefully the purple is replacing those god awful black sleeveless things they've worn the past few years.

I never thought I'd like a purple baseball jersey btw, but these Rockies ones aren't half bad. Not great, but better than I'd expect a purple baseball jersey to look.

Audiodrama Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The official MLB Style Guide lists the Rockies' 2011 alternates as such:Alternate Home #1: Pinstripe Vest, Black Sleeves, All Black CapAlternate Home #2: Purple Jersey, Black Cap with Purple BillAlternate Home #3: Black Vest, Purple Sleeves, All Purple CapTake that for what you will, but that's the official listing.

Sodboy13 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Alternate Home #3: Black Vest, Purple Sleeves, All Purple CapThey haven't worn the purple sleeves since they lost in them in the vest's debut, correct? Because some idiots thought "Oh, these are bad luck", while other idiots thought "This purple compromises my manly tendencies", and still more idiots thought "You know what would look awesome with these black vests? More black! Black sleeves, black vests, black eye black, black black black black" and then they moved onto Oakland.Anyway, given MLB's coverage of alternate uniforms in Dressed To The Nines (post-Okkonen), I'm taking anything the style guide says about alts with a giant pile of salt.

C's Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 In 2007 I definitely remember the Rockies wearing both the purples and the black vest in the interleague series in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I don't think that the cap always has to match the jerseys, but when they're both dark colors, they clash if not matched. At least a purple brim would provide some continuity between the jersey and cap.Cool jersey, but a terrible look. This team angers me. So much potential, yet they f up every single one of the details.

While I like the CR logo by itself, when you put it on a hat and look at it from more then 5 feet away it becomes very muddled and you can't tell which part is silver and which part is purple. The same can be said for their font on the jersey, they desperatly need a new font for their wordmarks. And while they have a great color scheme it's obvious they don't know how to utilize it well. They should be a purple first/black second team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustDevil61 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Awesome...finally, we see a little more color for Colorado. AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I love the purple, but the filled-in serif type is getting really stale and never looked all that good in the first place. Too word-processor-y. It's not as bad as what the Brewers are doing, but it's close. Also, I wish they were named for Denver, as I do with the Avs. Maybe they'll follow the Miami Marlins. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 They're purple, and officially a home jersey. So why do they have Colorado and not Rockies on them? Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
