Shumway Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 St. Patty's look from the Angels' instagram:These jerseys have a green shamrock outlined in white on the left sleeve as well. The numbers are still white with navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think red and gold would be best, how many other teams share that color scheme, none i can think of off the top of my headRed and gold is a solid color scheme too. If we're talking sports in general, Niners are one. But if we're talking MLB, pretty sure it'd be completely unique. The old Nats uniforms were Red-Gold. Is their batterman still Red-White-Gold? ---Speaking of things that resemble the old Nationals unis,, here's the logo for the Yankees-Marlins spring training "legends series" in Panama this weekend. It was not worn as a patch as far as I can tell. Is this the first time we've seen the marlins logo rendered in flat orange? I kind of like it....Because the idolizing of Rivera couldn't possibly end after last year. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Gothamite Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 No, not really. Ask anyone who's been in New York for the last couple decades about how they promote those active stars.

wonderbread Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 That might just be you, but the nfl is Americas most popular league, mlb is a pretty distant second, also you can recognize a football player just by their size, if you dont believe me watch the video where the Red Sox visited Gillette stadium after the World Series and all they were commenting on was how small the Red Sox players were.

That's totally different from knowing who they are. When I was in college, you could tell who played football, but you didn't know their names.

I don't think I could recognize any non-quarterback. Even quarterbacks, it's basically the Manning brothers, Rodgers, and Brady. I'd actually say that football has a harder time making their players instantly recognizable simply because of the necessity of equipment. I mean sure, the Mannings are recognizable, but that's due to their enormous coverage as well as their great portrayals in famous movies such as Forrest Gump and Seabiscuit. But most players are hard to spot without a plastic helmet with a giant team logo on either side. For example, I've been to the Pro Bowl several times and have stayed in the same hotel as the players and everyone had the same thoughts. Even with a pretty extensive knowledge of the sport, these guys are hard to pick out! You'd just assume that any guy above six feet tall and with a bit of muscle would be a pro football player. Baseball has a somewhat similar issue. How often do you see those guys without a hat or a helmet on? Hell, I didn't even know Albert Pujols was going bald until last year! Sports like soccer and basketball make it MUCH easier to market their players simply because those sports don't require a head cover to play.

Tracy MidGrady Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Basketball players and QBs are most popular players that's why companies invest in them.Jeter makes up a good percentage of that but he will soon be retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
