Anubis2051 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Nats gave this shirt away on the 5th....will we ever get to see this logo used on a jersey? Even if it's an alternate or a BP, I'd love to see it. Such a great script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Right guys, if you don't share the same exact opinion on the veterans on this board you will cause a firestorm.Anyway, I've always liked the Orioles uniform. how often do the Orioles still wear those black uniforms anyway?It is worn every Friday with the O's cap.I seriously dislike the O's cap. I'd love to see them wear the black alternate with the road cap but then others would probably complain that they look too much like the Giants.Well the Giants don't wear a black alternate, and the O's cap is essentially the same hat as the black road cap.

JayJaxon Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That Nationals script is being used more and more by the team and I do believe we will see it on a uniform (where it belongs) in the next couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packid Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Although the Nationals script is fine, I personally like the "W" logo on the chest. They are trying to establish a classic identity to resemble the Tigers and Yankees, and I think it's fitting for a team playing in the nation's capital. Regardless of what they do it's a huge step up from the beveled garbage, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I wouldn't mind them using the cap logo on the chest, just not that logo. The Tigers' and Yankees' jerseys work because the logos are rectangular and more or less symmetrical. The italic "W" looks goofy on a jersey. Remember this prototype? So much better than what they ended up using. I love that script. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red, navy, and gold was a better combo than your standard red and navy. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Packid Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 @Gothamite I remember reading that the the curly W was originally just a concept that the Nationals weren't going to use (instead it was going to be a beveled block W in a similar style to the wordmarks), but at the last second Selig stepped in and made them change.The angle of the curly W doesn't bother me, but I see where you're coming from with the balance issue.@WSU151 I agree that a little bit of gold works for them.As an aside, if the Nationals were to go with the nickname script on the home jersey, they'd have to fix some consistency issues between that logo and the "Washington" mark, especially in the "o" and the "s".

dirwuf Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The White Sox are wearing their 1983 alts for the first time this season...I see that the hat has the period-correct "SOX" logo, as opposed to the "batter" logo they announced over the winter.

Gothamite Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 My understanding of the Curly W was that it was the preferred logo of the DC city fathers, particularly Mayor Williams (they wore Cooperstown Collection caps to the relocation press conference). If Bud Selig insisted upon it, it was probably an attempt to placate them while MLB got the stadium bill passed. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
