RockyTopper 287 Posted January 21, 2015 Really disappointed that they went back to the old color scheme. The burnt orange/cream look could've been a nice, refreshing change of pace, being a much lesser-used color combo than red and black (with gray). The new logos with the red, gray and black just don't have the "pop" that the orange, cream and black had. It's a shame, but I reckon I'll get used to it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phutmasterflex 1,194 Posted January 21, 2015 So the unfavorable fan reaction forced the Sounds to change their color scheme? I liked the burnt orange look though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mojo Maniac 49 Posted January 21, 2015 I hate the new scheme. The neon-looking orange looked perfect on that beige guitar pick. Now if you look at the whole website, the alarming red makes it look like the city of Nashville is in a state of emergency and total chaos. Bad move. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tajmccall 400 Posted January 21, 2015 Whoops. Probably should have just played a season and gotten the merch sales for the orange and saw how it went before overreacting to a few hundred angry emails. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjd77 1,540 Posted January 22, 2015 The summer collegiate Prospect League's Jamestown Jammers have unveiled their logo and uniforms.Navy, lime, and purple...there's a combo that we'll probably never see used anywhere else. I think they did a really nice job with it though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMO, the orange color scheme did seem like it could be a bit much, but I'd probably have liked that more than seeing another drab red and black team. Part of me has a hard time believing that there was actually a huge backlash over that orange scheme. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conesbeans 6 Posted January 22, 2015 the vocal minorityWe don't know that.No, we don't know that as fact. But...I was basing my post on this quote, from the Sounds owner himself, Frank Ward, in the story that ran on MiLB.com when the balance of the brand identity system was unveiled earlier this week:"We heard loud and clear the strong feedback of our fans after our new logo was unveiled last fall. We have made the decision to return to our traditional red-and-black color scheme to accompany the new Nashville-styled logos."True, that statement does not quantify how many fans weighed in. But human nature is such that naysayers are more prone to speak out negatively than supporters are to sing praises. So I'm going to stand by my assertion. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 24,108 Posted January 22, 2015 You're right that opponents tend to be more vocal. But that doesn't automatically mean that they're in the minority. In fact, it doesn't tell us anything about the numbers. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand there's a rivalry, but it's far from Yankees-Red Sox or Cubs-White Sox, isn't it?Did you mean Cubs-Cardinals? Because Cubs-White Sox is exactly the same, and just as meaningless, at least to older folks.I wanted to see the orange for Nashville and wondered if the affiliate change influenced this decision. Based on what they went with, that doesnt appear to be the case to me.EDIT: Looking closer, I'm not a fan of the number font. Too Reds. Also, the N standing alone on a cap would be a stronger mark, IMO. The fact they also use an S and an MC on that guitar pick for the road and alt dilutes the primary mark's strength for me, such as it is.Something green was appearing on that PDF at smaller sizes for their Sunday cap. Probably just a glitch. Also, the ability to hit or throw a baseball directly into the hole of a guitar that is moving at high speed is impressive. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mojo Maniac 49 Posted January 25, 2015 I don't like the fact that the cap stays exactly the same, home/road/alt, except for the letter on the logo. Same solid black cap, same guitar pick logo, only different letters, which can't even be distinguished from afar. Woof. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oklahoma-Nebraska probably would've been a better example of the point I think you're trying to make here. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
