BigMac12 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I kinda like the uniforms. They're very colorful and really unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 How can they be unique when it's a direct copy of the San Diego Padres? "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 How can they be unique when it's a direct copy* of the San Diego Padres?*Except that the Rays' numbers aren't nearly as cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 You don't know what "lighten up, Francis" is from? Dude! Damn. I haven't seen that movie in nearly 15 years. And the only parts I really remember are near the end with the RV.Or, in other words, the only part of the movie that sucked? Shame. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

But they're neither "unique or "creative". The originals were, but these just paintbucket-fills. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

GFB Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Really hope the Tigers aid the cause and give us a little 70s throwback as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rroy0824 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Really hope the Tigers aid the cause and give us a little 70s throwback as well.They are. It was said in this thread a while back and they said it during the the game last night. Kind of pumped for this game. Really want to see both teams.

Matito Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Looks like the team went all out with matching helmets and everyone wearing navy stirrups/gold sanis. Props to Detroit for getting the correct white-outlined orange D caps instead of just using their normal road caps.Also, I tweeted CC after I picked up a fauxback cap the other day, but I noticed the caps the team is wearing have the tapered powder blue front panel, whereas the ones sold to fans just have the front two panels solid powder blue.

Sodboy13 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The gold sanitaries were a great touch. The team should have gone with a 7" or 9" stirrup to show them off more.Also, it seemed like the sizing of the Rays' pullovers was far better than Majestic's other notoriously baggy work.Now, don't get me wrong here. This Rays fauxback wasn't an original look, and I don't even know if it's a "good" look in the context of modern baseball. But I'd rather see them wear this than their usual set 162 times out of 162. Add a white jersey with navy sleeves, maybe even light blue and yellow alternates, and there ya go. I'm sold.

winghaz Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I REALLY like those Tigers caps with the white outline on the D. They should go back to them permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's a good think the Rays didn't exist in 1979, because their uniforms suck and supplant the White Sox short uniforms as the worst in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's a good think the Rays didn't exist in 1979, because their uniforms suck and supplant the White Sox short uniforms as the worst in baseball.I wouldn't go that far.

The_Admiral Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The picture of Jim Leyland can be described as "chillingly appropriate." That picture could be from the '70s and we'd never know.Not crazy about the Rays' fauxback. I don't like the numbers, and the recolored Padres uniform just looks weird to me. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Fun one-time thing. Now put them away.Haven't we seen stuff like this in the concepts section? "What if the Carolina Panthers were around in the 50's?" and such?You know, I can't help really liking this as an idea, and hoping other newer teams try it out as a one-off... I'm such a huge sucker for the horrible yet beautiful baseball uniforms from the 70's. In practice, though, just lifting the Padres template so completely turned out a little less interesting than something more original might have (although designing something completely from scratch was probably more work and money than they wanted to get into for a quicky fun promotion deal). As far as ripping off an existing template, think about this one. What if the went with the Astro's rainbow guts as a model, but used their original Devil Rays name and colors? The rainbow would be a complete spectral rainbow (ROYGBIV), the Astro's star would be replaced with the 70's silloutte style Devil Ray, purple hats, sleeves, and high stirrups. Picture it, and try to control yourself. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
