Gothamite Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 There might not be another NL team using that convention, but the Walgreens-W is too weak to stand on its own as a jersey logo. Combine that with the beauty of their under-utilized script, and this should be their home jersey: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Combine that with the beauty of their under-utilized script, and this should be their home jersey:See, the problem is that that jersey looks too "weak." It's too generic. It looks like everyone else. The only reason it looks nice is because they don't wear it. Once they wear it for a few games, people would realize how boring of a jersey it is and how it dilutes their already incredibly boring identity.If an olde English D and an interlocking NY can stand on their own, then so can a curly W. If it were a generic W I would agree with you, but the curly W is basically the Nats' symbol around DC. It's become their immediately recognizable icon, and it has some character.

BrySmalls Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I wonder whatever happened to the 'DC' jerseys. Must have been axed with the rehaul.Yea that's the one I have... Was definitely axed... Didn't see it necessary tho...The interlocking DC logo was scuttled in 2010 when the Nats introduced the current uniform sets. Management wanted to further emphasize the "Curly W" logo. Unfortunately, I cannot find the correct article; but, I believe that one of the Lerners, either Ted or Mark, absolutely hated the DC logo.

Or was it intentional somehow?When the Washington Senators unveiled their pretzel-W in 1963, those things didn't matter as much. They could use a cap logo that at the very least bore a strong resemblance to a drugstore logo, because the two were never viewed in the same context. You'd see one where you bought asprin and toothpaste, and the other on caps and at the ballpark. You weren't ever seeing the two logos side-by-side on Web page ads. The two were never used interchangeably as Twitter avatars.That logo should have been allowed to gracefully die. But when the move was announced, Washington's city fathers wanted to have something to wear for the press conference. That meant Cooperstown Collection, and that meant the Walgreens-W.And that choice was carried over into the team's inaugural uniforms, and continues to screw up the uniform today.
