Chromatic Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I don't think that logo is "too happy". It's very Raiders-esque, and that's a happy logo that's considered a classic. That said, I'd like to see them try something new. Not like the raiders or bucs, forming their own identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 That wasn't really my point....You said the pirate can be friendly because there are harmless birds on caps. Pirates are, basically by definition, criminals. Birds are... birds.What if it's a jailbird ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 They need to just use the skull and bats. Just take out the red from these logos, and replace that wordmark with the one on the home jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossAwesome Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 I would like to see them bring back the pinstripe away uniform with the cursive "Pittsburgh" on the front. That was a very under rated uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I would like to see them bring back the pinstripe away uniform with the cursive "Pittsburgh" on the front. That was a very under rated uniform. If by underrated you mean an abomination that was finally and mercifully trashed, then yes, it was underrated.The Pirates uniform, sans black alt, are basically perfect. Just need to change the sleeve patch accordingly. They actually look like the Pittsburgh Pirates, before all the garish crap of the 70's ruined their identity. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest23 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I would like to see them bring back the pinstripe away uniform with the cursive "Pittsburgh" on the front. That was a very under rated uniform. well I consider that set to be the historical low for the pirates...the bottom arching and plain white homes combined with pinstripes and script on the grays seemed not only random but half-assed. They need to simply stick with anything from the clemente era and never change again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Can't imagine why no one is clamoring for the return of this marvel:http://www.sportslog...60/Primary_LogoI like that one, too. Even if it is your typical mid-20th-century-cartoon-logo.I also like the idea of bringing back the '87 logo. Like the robo pigeon for the Penguins, I have a sentimental attachment to it since I was exposed to it during much of my early childhood. If they took away the diamond and 80's adventure movie font and modernized that guy a little bit, I think that'd also be a good and long-lasting look. It's stoic look isn't too friendly and mel gibsony or too anger-translating-as-constipation-y.There really isn't much you can do wrong with the name "Pirates". Tons of imagery associated with it, which is why I'm really excited to see what comes out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sorcerer77 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 That wasn't really my point....Anyway, yeah, too detailed obviously. But a modernization of that would be, IMO, the best.Shameless Plug Alert:Nice job on that Pirate logo, I would add the rectangle borders from the 1968-86 design, giving it the look of a treasure map background. Ironically, the 68-86 design never did appear on the sleeve of a Pirate uniform. I like the current uniform set, but wouldn't mind a black pant option with the black alternate. Not to be worn in the summer, but like the connection of solid black with the team nickname.Fairly or unfairly, the current logo is strongly linked with bad baseball. Now that the club is improving, the timing seems right for a logo which has some association with the winning eras of Pirate baseball. The 68-86 logo was used during the great decade of the 70s, so that has appeal to fans who experienced that championship period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
