leopard88 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 No more O's cap(except on the new cartoon bird), I hated that hat. I'm not sure that's true. From the accompanying article --There will be two versions of the new cartoon bird (which will be on the players' hats for every game except when they wear alternate road jerseys), home and away, and those changes will also be made to the team's batting helmets.Presumably, that means the O's cap would still be worn with the road alt (which is still apparently the black jersey).

Gothamite Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 No more O's cap(except on the new cartoon bird), I hated that hat. As did I, which is why I'm very disappointed to see it remain on the logo.Even a 1960s block "B" would have been worlds better. At least that would have repped the city.

The Mojo Maniac Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 No more O's cap(except on the new cartoon bird), I hated that hat. As did I, which is why I'm very disappointed to see it remain on the logo.Even a 1960s block "B" would have been worlds better than a silly alt cap they no longer wear. At least that would have repped the city.And they didn't even bother to use white stitching around the edge of the white panel. They used every inch of their dollar store craftsmanship by using black stitching instead. Some heads are gonna roll. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

deliver2david Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I don't get the little white streak at the back of the cap the Bird is wearing. It's almost like the Bird is wearing the old ugly BP caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 - Orange alt is a beauty.- White-paneled caps are... meh. If the fans love 'em, great. If they get dropped in favor of wearing the solid black crown full-time, great.- I'll like the white-paneled caps more if New Era's taken the trouble to put matching stitching around the panel, rather than ugly it up with black stitching because that's cheaper and easier to do on a hat they charge 35 freaking dollars for. EDIT: New Era, you lazy, corner-cutting bunch of s. God, that looks like crap, especially where the stitching overlaps.- The "Baltimore" script still seems unusually compressed toward the end, and now there's a huge gap between the "l" and the "t", unless that's just a manufacturing error on the one jersey.- Now would have been a fine time to add a white outline to the black alternates.

KJTALBOT Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Wow! Perfect. And I mean perfect. When I think of the glory of the Orioles, it's a white panel cap with the cartoon bird logo and orange lettering on the uniforms. The Baltimore script and orange alt are toppings on the ice cream. They should lock this look in for 50 years. This is their identity. Everyone loves a roundel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 My friend who is an O's fan pointed out to me that Wieters and Hardy look kinda awkward in that pic... he thinks the white panels might look better on the field. And I think he might be right. Ill wait til then to fully decide on whether or not the white panel caps work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I guess the 2010s will have some 1980s to it...I'm going to have to wait it out...front panel caps. This is obviously not going to be all we see of it. I am not surprised, judging by the fashion caps I see at ballparks.As for the cartoon bird...I don't get it. The love for that logo is probably the single thing that surprises me most about this place. I guess it shows how much (and by that I mean almost everyone except me) like animal head logos better than animal body logos.Their first look after the dumping the cartoon bird will always be my favorite...

habsfan1 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 They need to just make the cartoon bird the primary logo, since it's the only bird that's going to be used on 99,9% of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all mocked it; "a hat on a hat". Yet we all love this.

WSU151 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm diggin' just about everything in this change. A couple minor things could be fixed...but I love the white-panels, the orange alts, and cartoon bird. No serious complaints here. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Love itLove itLOVE IT!!!The Orioles 'cartoon bird' dates back to the relocation of the franchise in 1954, and while I'm by no means an Orioles fan, I always loved the caps/uniforms from the late 70's/early 80's. The team never got an ornithologically (sp?) correct Oriole quite right, so I'm glad to see it gone.Long live the toony bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
