Uniforms! Get Yer Red-Hot Alternate Road Uniforms!

perhaps if you both wore snappy throwback uniforms...

The all-stars are wearing stars on their hats for all-star awareness. How cute.

Has that been done before? Can't recall.

meh

i mean he took existing logos, put them on a different type of shirt, and added a random corporate sponsor. doesn't really require 2500 words of insight into his 'design process'.

at least there are no pink versions for the ladies tho

I was just thinking last night about starting a "when do you think MLB/NFL/NBA uniforms will be logo'd up like they do in soccer or motor sports?" thread.

think he did a good job! (regardless of how much effort might have been needed)
i think it's more than just using a "different type of shirt" tho... i like the way he incorporated the nuances of soccer jerseys, like the horizontal/diagonal stripes for example - and i didn't even know about the stars/championships thing.
and speaking as a designer, i never read someone's blithering about their design process etc unless i'm *really* interested (so i read the blue jays part).

here's the NL central:

i like the Cubs one a lot.

Imagine being being a big league ballplayer and having to take the field for the Diamondbacks, dressed like a goddamn ice cream man.

Playing baseball is hard. For players new to the Diamondbacks -- who have eight different uniform combinations, more than any club in baseball -- so is getting dressed.

Nice! I think they did something like that last year too. The Bowie Baysox (Maryland) became the Cangrejos Fantasmas (Ghost Crabs).

If the White Sox won't wear throwback shorts, maybe the Reds will.

What, no hat patch?

this could have been much worse, but the cap insignia is bad and the orange is too light/looks too much like red

The Giants ones are heinous (true about the red), but I'm into these:

The way of the serpent.

The jersey’s colors are inspired by the Sonoran desert, with ‘Serpientes’ snaking across the chest. The AZ flag speaks to the state’s beaming pride. This collection represents community, with respect for the past and an eye towards the future. pic.twitter.com/yS3a19Pfjs

oh my god

very much in character for BIG BAWSE

The Red Sox have done so well wearing their yellow City Connect uniforms that there’s a genuine question about whether they can be used for away games.

https://x.com/alexspeier/status/1690172476272025600

Ugh.

Just to clarify this: Sox can wear City Connect jerseys on the road so long as they don’t look too much like the home team’s jerseys. But they can’t wear white pants on the road. (Even though it’s not Labor Day yet!)

It's been fun but let's give the yellow a rest for a minute

grey and yellow isn't terrible, though.. kind of reminds me of the Eurostar maybe?

They should go yellow and blue

You’re such a hater of the yellow ones but they have the strongest aesthetic and they’re Bello’s faves

i’ve warmed to them as a novelty but the lettering still looks extremely junior softball league

better than the red batting practice style jerseys though i guess

blue trousers would be very bad imo. yellow ones would too

In a release, the new uniform “adopts colors that honor the spirit of Patriots’ Day weekend, and features ‘Boston’ in a stencil font across the chest paying tribute to the Boylston Street finish line. The numbers ‘617′ are highlighted on the left sleeve as a nod to the area code for Boston and Fenway Park. The numbers appear within a racing bib, honoring one of the city’s most iconic annual sports traditions.”

i know why it looks like that, i just don't think it looks good on a baseball uniform! i mean the new york yankees are free to use i dunno the lehman brothers font to pay tribute to the victims of 9/11 but it doesn't mean it works

You know i love you chief but what is that analogy

They look like traffic cops.

The worst, though, are the Rockies' City Connect caps. They look like trucker hats.

what in the

https://uni-watch.com/2023/03/03/giants-prospect-goes-ss-stirrups-n-shorts/

I hate them. I hate everything about them.

They’re ugly but not even top 5 ugliest in the league

none of this is as bad as the nationals switching out the cherry blossoms

for this (which honestly is still probably better than that of most other teams, but is a step down from the blossoms)

Fonts, mostly ugly. I really like the Outrun vibe of Colorado’s though

these are trying so desperately to be NBA jerseys that they ought to take the sleeves off too

I don’t hate these, but obviously Athletics green is the classic green uni. It’s just strange that they are keeping the yellow ones too.

I wish the Rays used the Skateboarding Ray cap logo, if they were gonna go with the Thrasher lettering. the bridge/ray logo is just not good.

ppl seem to love the green monster unis but they feel anodyne and sexless to me. like ok it’s the green monster. i get it. why would you want to look like a wall though? these designers are obsessed with making the uniforms look like things that aren’t uniforms. let the wall be a wall. let the uniform be a uniform. uniform it it! make it the uniformiest uniform that ever uniformed

Actually just now i’ve noticed that the yellow numbers are actually embroidered on and for some reason that has thawed my feelings for them somewhat

i like them. much more than the yellow ones, anyway

odd to call them 'city connects' when they're actually referencing a wall tho

One of the most recognisable sights in the city though - plus green also ties into Celtics, Irish community in Boston.

Why is Boston wearing yellow

Hold up - this is the Mets home uniform ? Lol

Yellow and blue are the colors of the Boston Marathon
