Quillz 1,356 Posted October 26, 2014 Watching the World Series, I can't help but notice the Royals logo still has a black drop shadow behind the monogram:I wonder why, when black was dropped from the uniforms around 2006 or so, the logo subsequently wasn't updated to remove the black drop shadow. Maybe in 2015... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phils Phan 60 Posted October 27, 2014 What amazes me even more is that they didn't remove gold from their primary logo in 2002, considering their uniforms did not have a stitch of gold, not even on the uniform's crown for some ungodly reason. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gothamite 24,057 Posted October 27, 2014 Yeah. How do you screw up a classic uniform like the Royals? Like this. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quillz 1,356 Posted October 27, 2014 The crown being blue wouldn't be that bad, IMO. Although the gold is just fine. It's like how the Dodgers have that red number. It might not necessarily fit in with the rest of the uniform, but it's a classic. Same with the gold in the Royals logo. Unlike the black drop shadow, that's been a part of their visual identity since the start. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FiddySicks 11,180 Posted October 27, 2014 There may not be enough time, and I'm not sure this would even be the right move. but I wonder if the Giants (and maybe Royals, too) are going to wear black armbands or something in honor of Taveras for these last two games. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quillz 1,356 Posted October 27, 2014 Given he didn't play for either of those teams, I doubt it. There wasn't any league-wide armband when Adenhart was killed by a drunk driver. The Cardinals will likely have a band next season. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FiddySicks 11,180 Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah I figured not. I just thought that maybe because the few games he played in against the Giants were so significant (and maybe the fact that the Royals are in the same state), they may do something. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 24,057 Posted October 28, 2014 They shouldn't. It would be masturbatory and self-indulgent for them to wear a memorial. More about the teams than the man who passed away. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanic 23 Posted October 28, 2014 Memorial patches are dumb, unless there's actually worth something to remember about that person (i.e "greatest player in the history of the [whatever]").Not to bash on the poor guy because he's dead, I just feel like it's not needed. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that wasn't what you really meant. As an outsider you have no idea how much a person impact others. As far as should either team do anything for the death of a Cardinals player... not really, maybe at best a moment of silence. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tubby34 228 Posted October 28, 2014 I think each player should wear what they feel comfortable with. I could see Perez wearing a jersey number on his cap if he wants- maybe others inside the jersey over the heart on an undershirt or written on the inside of the jersey itself behind the crest. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
