KJTALBOT Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Is anyone else bothered by the fact that the lettering on the Red Sox away font, BOSTON, does not match the font in the logo?I was thrilled when they changed from the block lettering BOSTON (see 1986 Bill Buckner) to the current red lettering, but it could be better.I have a cooperstown collection jersey that actually uses the Navy logo Boston font and it looks sweet.Would anyone want to make a concept showing the proper font?It also bugs me that the Tigers away Detroit is completely unrelated to the Old English D. I always thought that spelling out Detroit in the Old English font on the away uniforms would be cool. Any takers? Everyone loves a roundel.

shiznit1083 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I actually like it the way it is now. It's consistant with the home jersey, so I think it looks good. I'm not fond of inconsistencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I alway preferred the older block lettering "Detroit" over the script. Something about it seemed intimidating. When I was a lot younger I envisioned a bat-wielding vigilante wearing a Tigers away jersey. I know the script lettering in more traditionally baseball, but something about the block lettering made the players seem tougher.

pittunited Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Detroit: That road script is almost as traditional as the Old English D. It dates back to the 30's. I myself prefer the 70s-80s era roads, but the current ones aren't horrible.Boston: I prefer the matching jersey fonts. I definitely prefer the current roads to the old block letters... Those were just bland. OWNER -- Pittsburgh Spiders (UL) * Dynamo Missouri (PLA) * Montreal Maroons (SHL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
