RyanB06 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You people are crazy.Buffalo's new uniforms scream "rec league". There's no thought put into them, the front numbers are too damn low, and the whole thing looks, to be honest, slapped together. And whoever thought straight nameplates on baseball jerseys looked good needs to be beaten with a Louisville Slugger. Leave the straight nameplates for football and hockey.I don't mind traditional looks, but when that crosses over into plain, like these are, it just ruins it. This is supposed to be Minor League Baseball, right? Jazz up the jerseys a bit! Gimme pinstripes, piping, something! You don't have to go over-the-top gaudy, but geez. These things are yawn-inducing.OK, rant over.

The Buffalo Bisons brand has been around since the 19th century, if anything, they're one of the few minor league clubs that SHOULD have a traditional look.

PJBenterprises Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Look at the first "S" in Bisons... it goes over the placket, but the "S" is one piece. Are these pull over jerseys with a placket sewn on for the look of a traditional jersey? THe away jerseys have the same issue....Yes, they certainly appear to be pullovers / faux button downs. You can see a horizontal seam just above the upper button on both the "Bisons" and "Buffalo" images. They're button down down to that seam, but the buttons are faux below the seam. Good catch.

raysox Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yup! They released everything a few weeks ago. It's the same, but with a G-star.I saw some Ironbirds, St. Lucie, and Lexington stuff.There's also these giftcard things that are literally free. Shipping would cost like 8 bucks, but I thought it was funny. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The "A" is really unbalanced on its own. I don't think it will look particularly good on a hat. Probably should have added a standalone "R" to the package. Still, looks nice overall, good use of the colors, and great to see the local guys get the work, especially when it's an excellent outfit like EPS.

Gothamite Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Ugh. Brutal. Not only can the A not stand on its own, it really can't go in the middle of any kind of roundel. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Frankly, I find the whole package pretty brutal. The "A" is awkwardly rendered and, as others have pointed out, doesn't work well on its own, or in a roundel containment shape. The airplane, by itself, is serviceable at best. The manner in which the wordmark is simply plopped down on top of it in the primary mark screams, "Lazy!". The majority of the wordmark (i.e. everything other than the uninspiring "A") is nothing that I haven't seen on the uniforms of beer-league softball teams across America. The only thing I find even remotely attractive is the roundel-and-wings device... and that is marred by the inclusion of the piss-poor "A".

McCall Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Does anyone else even see an 'r' in "Aviators"? It looks to me like a dot-less 'i'. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGP Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Oof, what a bad logo. You've all already pointed out the flaws with the wordmark, but look at that plane! It's terrible in it's own right. At least to me, everything on the plane looks crooked, doesn't do a good job showing any movement, has a propeller that just looks like it was slapped on at the last and just sits there. Oh, and I just noticed that the top wing and tail both have outlines that are much thicker than the outlines everywhere else. It sticks out like crazy and I find that's all I can focus on.Overall, it's one pretty bad package. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

Sodboy13 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The bat-propeller does stick out as being weirdly static.
