Fox Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 the one thing that I can't stand about these throwbacks games, or the MLB in general is the lack of consistoncy between hats and helmets. Especially in this case, where the Tigers could have brought their home helemets with the white D, which would have looked nearly the same as the cap.

Yes, but logical in a sense. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Why don't the Tigers just stop using a road hat/helmet, then. The white D looks just fine with the road greys. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white D looks just fine with the road greys.I wouldn't be against that as long as they used the regular cap logo "D" and not the home jersey "D".

The white D looks just fine with the road greys.Because the road script & uniforms have always contained orange as either a stripe or an outline. The orange D on the helmets balances things out.

oddball Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Well from 1947-1949, the Tigers wore the orange "d" on their home cap. And no they haven't always had orange on the road jerseys. Honestly, I don't find and orange sticker on the helmet to be that much of an issue. It's not like in the past when the Angels would have a throwback night and be wearing their '80's or '70's jerseys and wear their current red helmets, that's just plain stupid and lazy.

YessSir32 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They've always had an orange D on the road, I'd keep it. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just to be sure, you want to Tigers to get rid of the white AND orange outlines? I think that is madness. I mean, to me the home jersey would look far better with orange incorporated, but that shouldn't happen because of the history. Still, there is nothing sacred about the road uni, so keep the orange, which I am guessing has been worn far more often than not over the past 70 years.

Gothamite Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 At the very least, they have to get rid of the white outline. The Dodgers look so much better on the road since they did.

CubsFanBudMan Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 So, the Tigers' D on the cap actually used to match the home jersey, or is this a trial balloon to see if anyone would notice if they standardized it? You know, now that they made that D the primary a few years back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 At the very least, they have to get rid of the white outline. The Dodgers look so much better on the road since they did.Absolutely.Until seeing these pics I didn't even realize the roads were actually based on and old set. Makes them even more appropriate. Just ditch the white outlines and their roads are perfect. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 That solid navy script looks too flimsy and imperfect to stand alone. Not that a navy/orange/white script is the ideal solution, but like Gothamite noted I think a navy/orange script would look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proc Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Here in Motown, the pointed "D" from the hat is by far more popular than the rounded "D" on the home uniform. However, that being said, both are sacred here.As for the road uniform, I'd love to see a full-on, grey version of the home uniform.These roads are favs of mine..
