The_Admiral Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 That sleeve patch is by far the best secondary logo the Cubs have ever hadNo. It's weird. They're all weird. I might kinda like this little fella. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫
KJHillis Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 While they are not MY teams..I love vests.. http://www.nationalchamps.net/2005/sub/previews/mississippistate.htm ... i love MSU's first one Ok.. now for my teams
ARTnSocal Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 The Angels are my team, but having grown up 90 miles down the QEW in Buffalo I attended a great number of Jays games at both Toronto Stadiums and have bit of a soft-spot for them.I'd like to see the Jays return to their mid 90s uniforms, both home & away (gray) with the solid blue hats ... those were my favorites.I hated the 2-tone crown caps, as I did with Baltimore, Montreal, and Milwaukee when they wore them too. Different color visors I never had a problem with, most of those look really good.When the Jays went to the solid blue hat and shelved the light blue roadies they were picture perfect. I also like the Blue Jays mid 90s blue alternates with the same fonts.Ya win back-to-back World Series' and go thru so many uniforms design changes since then .... that's so odd. First change since, I even liked their late 90s cap logo ... but when they shelved that in the early 2000s and made all those massive changes they just don't look like the Toronto Blue Jays to me anymore..... Also, I really miss the Baltimore Orioles cartoon logo on the black hat with orange lid .... Just not when it was on the 2-tone crown cap with the white front on the crown like in the 70s. I always love a fitted cap with the curved visor and green underside too. I love the episode of Seinfeld when Elaine got thrown out of Yankee Stadium for wearing her Orioles bird cap and refusing to take it off Excluding AFL-50 away uniforms in 2009 and NFL-75 from 1994, every team that has had a throwback or alternate, have always used a colored jersey, with the exception of the Redskins, and Patriots (light gray)I'd love to see the Bills use their 1973 away uniforms, just as throwbacks ...... white with blue pants and grazing BisonEither that or the all-white 2009 throwback from AFL-50 which was a tweak of the 1965 roadies .... with black shoesNow that we've gotten used to calling them the LA or Los Angeles Angels .... how about a road uniform with a 'Los Angeles' script on the jersey? The halo on the 'A' could still easily remain .... I guess this is more of a concept tho' .... but in 2002 I loved it when the Anaheim script was put on the away jersey, and a World Series Championship was finally won. After one more season it was gone ...

The_Admiral Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 It is creepy! But at least it is quite clearly a cute baby bear and not some blue blob in a red ring, or a bear digging for trash and finding Doug Davis. Clean it up and you might have something, but you probably won't, and so the Cubs' sleeves are probably better off unadorned. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫
BBTV Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I get what you're saying Vet, but it just seems limiting. Like I said before I think a team's only goal when it comes to uniform design should be to look good. If going back to an old design will accomplish that better then a new, updated set then you should return to the old design. Yeah, it sounds nice to say a team should always look forward and not back, but it just seems way to limiting for what should be a very simple goal; for a team to look it's best.Actually, I'd argue that disqualifying previously used designs actually makes your options limitless. I'm not a fan of the Phillies current uniform, but they're a good example of what I'm talking about. They didn't just "go back" to a previous era - they enhanced it (the results of which are debatable of course.) You can move forward while looking back, if it's appropriate for the situation.

imawalkingcorpse Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 The Bucs should wear these once a year. White with orange pants. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now.

That's not a rhetorical question, but I can't think of any (not that I'm thinking too hard).I mean I guess while we are talking about Philly, just look at the Sixers... I mean they did about as "strong" as a throwback identity as I've ever seen, and even then they made a lot of tweaks to a lot of things.I guess what I am saying is that it almost seems like a non-issue to debate this. That is, unless there are teams out there who actually went back to exactly an old identity. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED
djones2929 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I would have the Chargers just stick to their alternate/throwback....

The NY Giants and Jets too (unless you count the darker green an enhancement.) Off the top of my head, I'm also not sure how many teams have literally "brought back" old uniforms, but even if it doesn't really happen often, it's not a "non-issue" because it's the very basis for this thread.For the record, I love the Jets current look, but I wish that they took this opportunity to re-do the helmet logo to separate it from the '60s look. I also prefer the '80s Sixers look to the current "inspired" look, but I give them credit for not "going back", which was the prevailing thought at the time. Hopefully new ownership goes in a different direction.

I would consider a change in the main color a modification and not going back to an old look verbatim. As for the 76ers current look, it blows. The '80s set was decent but uninspired. If they wanted to go back to that set, it would be somewhat understandable. However, if they were going to go with a bastardized futuristic version of that set, they would have been better off doing something else.
