slapshot Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Watching the Sox-A's game today, I noticed that the O doesn't connect to the rest of the lettering in Oakland. At least on most jerseys. I thought I saw someone's lettering misaligned (may have been a coach) where the O connected to the a.The logos on the mothership show the separation. Has it always been this way? I thought I remember it one continuous script instead of the separate O. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 According to Dressed To The Nines it has always been that way.Similarly (and this is something I only noticed since I started my NL project), the w and e in the Brewers script are only connected by the invisible "outline" they share, not to each other. Same thing with the w and a in "Milwaukee." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I've never connected an uppercase O to the next letter in cursive. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Been a lifelong A's fan and the "O" has never connected to the rest of the name. The only changes they've made is the loop on the "O" in the 90s.I've never connected an uppercase O to the next letter in cursive.Correct. Who does that anyway? Go A's!

TheOldRoman Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I knew the Brewers' current set sucked before. However, I am just now noticing the little half underline thing. What the hell? What idiot thought that was a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I've never connected an uppercase O to the next letter in cursive.Correct. Who does that anyway?then you don't write correctly in cursive.Blame my teachers for teaching it wrong to me if that is the rule. They told me to never connect capital letters to any following letters when writing cursive.And for the Orioles, that's only because it's the convenience of the slant and the sizing of the first letter.

The loop is on top, not on the side. And with that, that's the reason why you don't connect capital letters with lowercase letters -- because in some cases, they just can't connect.Because if I was to say write the team name "Dragons" in cursive and have all the letters connect as you suggest, I'd be screwed.

We're all probably going to hell for not knowing cursive, so I'd listen to what he says. haha Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

BBTV Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Is there even an "official" cursive? I know were all taught something just so they have something to grade you against, but I know several people who learned "official" cursive differently than I did. Basically as long as none of your letterforms are ambiguous does it really matter? I'd argue tho that you can connect capitals to lowercases in most cases with only slight mods to the cap.
