TruColor Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 As I've mentioned in at least one other thread, I have gone through and done my color-correction thing on all of the official 2012 MLB graphics, and I am going to present them team-by-team. I am starting with the teams that are NOT implementing any changes for the 2012 season; as some of the new graphics are unveiled, I will create a new post for them. So, I thought I'd just create a thread here that points back to my blog.First two teams:St. Louis CardinalsTampa Bay RaysAs always, clicking on the graphic in the blog opens up a 750px version of the graphic...and also as always, sportslogos.net is free to use any of these versions.Oh - and as a shameless plug, some of you might want to note this blog post I put up today:Meanwhile, on eBay...Detroit Tigers are next up.

Trevell Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Great work on the graphics so far! I'll be tuning in everyday for new posts. Can't wait to see the rest of the teams.As for the eBay listing, looks really cool, but I'd be more interested in the 2012 version if it's for sale.

I'm not sure if they actually produce a printed guide anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tohasbo Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 New San Diego Padres:San Diego Padres (MLB) 2012 sRGB-Optimized GraphicsAt least the primary went away the home-plate look. Still wish they could go away from the Shampoo logo look. I am betting the Marlins look is quite large... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmets Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 My comments from the Padres thread:The good:New road script.Alt logo with original friar.Patch/stadium logo.The fact that, despite the color scheme, this doesn't look too much like the Yankees or Tigers.No more laundry detergent primary logo or bow-tie road script.The navy alternate uniform is nice (though it would be nicer if the Yankees or Tigers had it instead).The bad:Bland color scheme.Circle primary logo.Is that a sand outline around the "Padres" script on the home? The fact that I can't really tell isn't good. There's no sand anywhere else in the design package so it seems odd.No brown. No orange. No yellow.The ugly:The "Padres" script left over from the 2004-2011 look. It was bad then, now it's bad and out of place.Overall, definitely an improvement over the 2004-2011 look. Still not great though. The Tony Gwynn-era navy & orange design was better. Brown would be great if it was done right. This is not great. It's not atrocious though, like the 2004-2011 look was.P.S. I'm probably gonna bid on that 1999 style guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was originally supposed to be the stadium logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Wow, these are really nice. Thanks for posting these. I can't wait until you post the Rangers, as I'm looking for a quality version of their lettering and number font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
