BadSeed84 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 My favorite part of the diamondbacks black or purple uniform tops is the sleeve stripe, so unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Racing stripes worked when players wore high sturrips that continued the effect.it works when they have long pants that go all the way down to their shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockies could use a purple jersey with "Rockies" across the front. It'd be a solid alternate. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

McCall Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I actually love the Rockies purple jerseys. Even the black numbers for some reason because I do dislike the navy on navy numbers for the Braves and Rays. I dunno. Guess I can distinguish the black against purple well enough that it doesn't bother me. Plus with the black caps it ties together well.I'd still prefer to see them ditch black and go just purple and silver, but as long as the have black, that purple jersey as is is fine by me. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohryan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I really like the Rays and Braves Navy/White numbers on Navy look - especially since they are just alts. I've never had a problem from a readability standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Looks like the sublimated pattern. Marlins used it too for their 1956 throwbacks. Who made those?I still wish the Nationals had been the only franchise to adopt a Negro League name from their city's history, the way the Brewers, Padres, Angels and Orioles adopted traditional minor-league names from theirs.

The_Admiral Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yeah, but weren't the Homestead Grays more a Pittsburgh team that played some games in Washington? Also, hard to work up passion about the most neutral color. Also #2, you'd have the Grays wearing white at home and the road team wearing the team's color (or at least its name), and look I'm having enough trouble as it is with the White Sox wearing socks that are the inverse of white. Just seems like a real brandtastrophe.I think it would be cool for a Negro League nickname to make it to the majors, but Grays shouldn't have been the one to do it. I'll keep holding out for the Indianapolis Clowns. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yeah, but weren't the Homestead Grays more a Pittsburgh team that played some games in Washington?No - by the end they were playing the vast majority of their games in DC, making them a Washington team that still played some games in their old home of Pittsburgh.

marlinfan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Not sure if it has been mentioned, but the Marlins have 'officially' dropped the orange caps and road uniforms. Marketing guy mentioned it during a telecast a few weeks back. Team has been wearing orange/black alternates on the road all season. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
