altosax29b Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm not a big fan of paneled caps. Nope, not liking this set, just personal preference though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hate the paneled cap, love the new cap logo and full-black-crown cap, love the new road uniform. Not bad, Baltimore... not bad at all. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Looking back over the new additions, I have to say the only thing I don't LOVE is the Camden Yards patch. They could have really done worlds better on the patch design. Other than that, solid solid stuff from the O's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Worst cap logo ever, maybe.I found one worse.

OnWis97 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I hate the cartoon bird. But given that it's here and here to stay...I think a "B" on his hat would have made sense rather than having him in an alt cap that actually exists. The "B" would have been like the "M" on the dolphin's football helmet. It would have been kind of generic, but would have been a nod to the city.

ESTONES6 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Wordmark - I like the new Baltimore script. It looks a lot better than the neutered script of the last rendition. Upgrade.Bird Logo - I like it. I like that it's wearing one of the teams' hats. My only gripe is with what's going on on the right side with the beak turning into the outline? Not sure if its just an over site or intended. The orange outline seems to be a tad too thick.Hats - It seems to be over exposed. I think the white panel is nice, but it looks like it takes away from the new logo. I would like it better if the white panel was used for a Sunday Best type of uniform, rather than on the home and home alt. Like I said, I think they are going to end up over exposing the logo.Jerseys - I like the addition or orange and black. I think 4 jerseys for a 162 game baseball season is about right + a Sunday Best. I like that they kept a consistent stripe pattern (black-orange-black). It just comes across weird as the black jersey has the black pipping around the orange, and the orange jersey has the orange pipping with black around it.Overall, I think its a nice upgrade. I like the return of the bird logo. I think its much better than the 10th grade biology class logo - speaking from a baseball standpoint. My major gripe is the white panel hat. It is going to be over exposed being worn at home and with the alt. They should have made it a once (maybe twice - Saturday and Sunday) per week sort of thing.

BBTV Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The more I see the Baltimore jersey, the more I don't like it. I really thought there was going to be a big improvement, but there's just not. It's just so squished compared to the Orioles script, and the tail just doesn't look right - I'm not sure if it's at a different slope than the home, or if it's closer to the letters, or what, but it looks too straight and "perfect", and not "basebally". IMO they should have taken this opportunity to drop the tail all together. Maybe not go back to the '80s script, but one that flows better and doesn't have a tail. The Baltimore script should have been done more like the older ones that have been posted earlier in this thread - imperfect, less "computerized" and more charming.

josh106802 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 So, is the stupid (IMO) script wordmark now permanently removed from the right sleeves of the road and alt jersey? Or is it just temporarily replaced by the anniversary patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 OK, I'm trying to be as unbiased as I can here, but this has got to be the best set in the MLB right now! yeah paneled caps, yeah Cartoon Bird, yeah minor tweaks. Well done, Orioles. Now, IF THEY CAN GET THE HELMETS TO MATCH THE CAPS, it will be even better.Gonna be a tough choice between the paneled Oriole cap & the orange Marlins cap. May have to pick up both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I could go either way on the bird logos, but colored bills have always made a cap seem a bit wider left to right, aswear one color caps appear more front to back, which is my preference. The "real" bird, being as wide as it was, always made the orange billed cap just seem too wide. I think it's best for an all-black cap. The cartoon bird is better suited for the colored bill, though I agree that his cap should have a B on it. Now the panel cap just needs to go. It already looks dated. Maybe it could work as a Sunday cap, but not the everyday home. Don't get the overitalization of the new Baltimore script, but it's definitely and improvement so it'll work. So everything but the new home cap is an A. The panel cap brings it down to a A-. Would go further down because I just really don't like that cap, but everything else is too good. Without getting too in depth at the moment, I'd have to give their overall set at least a top 10 ranking (maybe higher if that cap is gone). https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Am I the only one that dislikes the huge orange stroke around the whole logo?

TheOldRoman Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The bird head would look so much better with a hairline orange outline instead of the monsterous one they went with. That would still distinguish his head and cap from the black background of the road cap, and it would blend into the bottom beak without looking as clunky as it does now. Either way, the top and bottom beak should either both have a black outline or neither have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mojo Maniac Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 My theory has always been that teams should wear the look that is most-associated with their period of greatest success, since that's the time that brands a team in the most-positive and memorable light. It's the reason I've thought the Brewers should return to the "MB/glove" look, the Royals to full-time powder blue, the Reds to the Big Red Machine look...and the reason I'm glad the Blue Jays are returning to the World Series/Joe Carter look, the Mets are apparently echoing the Miracle Mets look (well, and the woeful 1962 look as well, but, um...work with me, here!), even the A's bringing back the yellow jersey last year with "A's" on the chest, reminiscent of the '72-'74 three-peat A's. I see these looks and think of the most memorable teams in the history of these franchises. I see the cartoon bird and white panels and think just that about the Orioles.So you're also saying that you would like to see the Pirates go back to their bumblebees-on-acid disaster uniforms of the late-70s? Or the White Sox go back to their beer league softball-esque collared jerseys with shorts or the beach blanket design? Ugh... From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

guest23 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I always appreciated the uniqueness of the ornithologically correct bird as a cap logo, so part of me is sad to see it go altogether. I thought maybe it could work as a shoulder patch. I like when teams use something other than a letter on the cap, so I appreciate the bird head still carrying that forward for the Orioles. That said, the beak/trim blending is annoying on the logo graphic itself. The cap logo works better due to the stitching. I like the black hat better and I think in time it will take over for the paneled cap as the home cap. The paneled cap works best with the orange alt, so I would say it should be the alt with the black as the primary.no need to worry the classic bird will be back in 5 years as the novelty of the cartoon bird (and merch sales) grows stale.
