Golden Giants uniforms


Swiss

Recommended Posts

Today the Giants wore golden uniforms celebrating the 2010 World Series win against the Cardinals.

The Cardinals you say?

Threw me at first too. It should read as "Today against the Cardinals the Giants wore golden uniforms celebrating the 2010 World Series win."

I love 'em.

Somewhere tucked into the archives of this forum exists a discussion about the Houston Astros wherein I mentioned that I'd like to see some MLB team take a stab at a black and gold (or white and gold) color scheme. Now that I see what it could look like...I'd really like to see it one day. (Unless my memory's off, I think only the Astros and Diamondbacks have actually utilized metallic gold in their color scheme during their history.)

The Giants Gold Unis are awesome looking. I hope the teams keep it up, I like it.

I can't be the only one who thinks that the Giants unis looked terrible, right? IMO, that was wayyyyy too much gold for my taste. An outline would've done.

Nope. You can add me to the list. They were awful. I thought it was pretty funny that the Giants were wearing all that gold on their uniforms yet their WS rings were basically silver with a gold highlight.

Yeah, that is what I meant! ;-)

I'm in this camp too... as gorgeous as their rings were (and as a Rangers fan I was hoping they'd be tackier than :censored:, but they ended up classy and gorgeous), those uniforms WERE tacky as :censored:.

There's a team using it now -the Brewers. The color scheme is the best thing about the current uniforms.

The Nats used to use metallic gold, but (more or less?) dumped it this year.

The Nationals dropped all hints of Metallic Gold from their identity.

The Royals actually use it in their logo, and believe it or not - the Giants already use Metallic Gold as one of their official colors (since 2000):

But they already use a gold drop shadow on the letters and numbers. As over the top as this may have been, it really was the only option.

Considering the trophy is mostly silver, the lettering should have been silver, not gold. ^_^

I saw, I came, I left.
