Bored Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 (edited) Logo Home Road ("Sand" color) Alternate Sand? Bleh, home uniforms should always be white and road uniforms should always be grey damnit! And I wish teams would drop the softball 3rd jerseys. Leave that shit for batting practice and Spring Training but wear real uniforms for real games but most teams are guilty of it now. Got no problems with the logo or lettering though.

kkktookmybabyaway Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 I think they look purty. If you're going to lose, do it in style (see the Pirates and PNC Park)...
Bruiser Chong Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 I like the alternate jerseys. I think they for the most part, look better than the, well, other alternatives. Don't tell me you don't think those Cubs alternative jerseys don't kick ass. And I don't think the Padres will be half bad next year. They'll be putting out a pretty impressive lineup and this offseason may prove to be profitable in their pickups.
Bored Posted November 7, 2003 Author Report Posted November 7, 2003 I'll tell you this...they don't kick ass. Maybe a team fielded with Fernando Valenzuala, Sid Fernandez, Rick Reuschel, and Bob Horner could pull off the softball uni look but otherwise they should all be burned.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 New unis look pretty good. Certainly nothing offensively bad.
the pinjockey Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Like the home jerseys. The away jerseys just seem like they scream minor league, to me. Third jerseys are fine, nothing special.
Guest Choken One Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 at least it's not another bird or something but WHY the fascination with new Unis being blue? I'm convinced Linder will put the reds in blue unis if he thought he could save a few dimes.
A Happy Medium Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 The jerseys are ok, but they just feel like Brewers jerseys to me.
Bored Posted November 7, 2003 Author Report Posted November 7, 2003 Its all a part of Bud Selig's master plan to make all teams look like the Brewers.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Better than the old mustard yellow unis at least.
Spaceman Spiff Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Those "sand" jerseys look like they're straight out of the 1920's
starvenger Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 at least it's not another bird or something but WHY the fascination with new Unis being blue? I'm convinced Linder will put the reds in blue unis if he thought he could save a few dimes. They should go back to brown. Anyways, nothing offensive about the unis, but then again nothing that stands out either. Still, it's better than the (don't call us Blue) Jays logo...
sfaJack Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 I'm not diggin' the logo that much, but the uniforms are pretty nice. The sand color could be a little bit lighter (are they trying to tie in the San Diego beaches or something???), but otherwise they're not too bad.
iliketurtles Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Their home jerseys look just like the Brewers' and their road jerseys look just like the Blue Jays.
Bruiser Chong Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 The brown jerseys they were sporting in the 70's and 80's are the shit. I've got one of those, matter of fact. Of course, worn in a "serious" context, if you will, those look way too dated now.
Guest Just Looking Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 I'm not diggin' the logo that much, but the uniforms are pretty nice. The sand color could be a little bit lighter (are they trying to tie in the San Diego beaches or something???), but otherwise they're not too bad. The color scheme is supposed to represent the sand, sky, and ocean.
Slayer Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 It does look like a beer logo, hmmm... The color scheme is supposed to represent the sand, sky, and ocean. Dammit, if I wanted deeper meanings to my sports jerseys, I'd have Shakespeare quotes written on them

Dammit, if I wanted deeper meanings to my sports jerseys, I'd have Shakespeare quotes written on them lol! Truth be told I don't mind the home and road uniforms. I don't like the softball-style alternates though. On the other hand, for some reason I don't like the Cubs' road jersey that just says "CHICAGO." I heard the old alternates were camouflage. Now there's one you don't see often.
Bruiser Chong Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 And for a damn good reason, too.
The Czech Republic Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 And for a damn good reason, too. I think it's brilliant. The announcers should be like "and that one's going deep into left field and it looks like it'll be a base hit for the Dodgers and NO! That one was caught! And it's a double play! They thought there was nobody in left field, but they couldn't tell, because he was camouflaged! Oh boy! This is not good for the L.A. Dodgers."
Guest Anglesault Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 I love teams that have uniforms, which are basically used to identify them, that change every other week. The worst offenders (in baseball) are the Blue Jays.

treble Posted November 8, 2003 Report Posted November 8, 2003 I love teams that have uniforms, which are basically used to identify them, that change every other week. The worst offenders (in baseball) are the Blue Jays. You can't seriously believe that when there's a team like the Diamondbacks running around, having worn about 30 different uniforms during their time in the league. As for the Jays, the logo/uniform change this year is the first drastic one in the team's history. The 1997 change was more of a modernizing of the old, 70s-ish logo and the one they wore last year (the red 'T' with a Blue Jay holding a bat and throwing a baseball in the air) they had introduced as an alternate/spring training logo a few years earlier (and it sucked).

The worst offenders (in baseball) are the Blue Jays. You can't seriously believe that when there's a team like the Diamondbacks running around, having worn about 30 different uniforms during their time in the league. I honestly hadn't noticed. Do they still have the Fugly "A" logo? As for the Jays, the logo/uniform change this year is the first drastic one in the team's history. The 1997 change was more of a modernizing of the old, 70s-ish logo and the one they wore last year (the red 'T' with a Blue Jay holding a bat and throwing a baseball in the air) they had introduced as an alternate/spring training logo a few years earlier (and it sucked). But you don't deny that they are one of the teams bastardizing the concept of the logo by changing it repeatedly?
treble Posted November 8, 2003 Report Posted November 8, 2003 Well, like I said, the 1977-1996 logo wasn't really all that different from the 1997-2002 one. It was the same basic design, just modernized a bit. I really don't know why they wore that cartoonish one in 2003 (or even really why they're changing it again for 2004), but it was only for 1 year, and it was pretty much known that they were going for a new look in '04 so I look(ed) at '03 as a 'transition' year. As for Arizona, I found this, which shows the logos they've used over their long, illustrious history, but I know they've worn many different style uniforms since 1998.

Inaugural season, opening day, and wives' club logos can be forgiven. Also, two logos is about right for a team. One on the cap and one other is okay. Yanks have NY and Uncle Sam, BoSox have the B and the Sox logo. This however, is new to me. I don't recall anything specifically like that any where
