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

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).

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
― ydkb (gyac), Saturday, 12 August 2023 16:06 (one year ago) link
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!)

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.”

The new MLB uniforms look so bad that the union is involved. “Any time there’s change, there’s an adjustment period," Tony Clark said. "In this instance, there appear to be some misses that could have otherwise not been misses."@SamBlum3 https://t.co/8TiztekdYh— Marc Carig (@MarcCarig) February 20, 2024
That’s why the union wants to get involved in a remedy.“We are on the phone with the requisite parties that are involved in making that decision because we aren’t,” Clark said. “We’re trying to make sure our guys have what they need in the fashion that they need it. And it’s reflective of what being a major-league ballplayer should be reflective of.“It’s an ongoing dialogue. Hopefully, we can get some things done over the course of the next six weeks of spring training. Because I’d hate to be in a place where we’re still having conversations about some of the challenges we have in that regard once the lights come on.”

And some say the eggshell color of the pants -- the fabric is the same as last year -- is creating a see-through vibe. The fit has also come into question.After visiting over a half-dozen spring camps in Arizona, Clark is getting a clearer picture of the complaints."A lot of the rhetoric is confirmation that the pants are see-through," Clark said. "It's been an ongoing conversation where each day has yielded something new that doesn't seem to make as much sense as you would like it."Each camp seemingly has a different issue, including some that are worried about supply-chain problems that led at least one player to tell Clark he might have to go to Dick's Sporting Goods for spare pants."Universal concern is the pant," Clark said.

"Universal concern is the pant," Clark said.
this is one of the all-time great utterances
that said, looking at that photo yeah, the pant is definitely a valid universal concern. they should replace them with skirts. the rockford peaches look. it'd look good and it'd be practical.

Do players wear new uniforms often? I always thought they might wear a new set every game because those are pristine, but then I saw a piece of patching on a player’s leg that has thrown this into confusion.https://i.postimg.cc/wB9ZWKrp/IMG-5960.pngSince the uniforms are tailored (?) do they get a limited amount of these and launder and mend as necessary?
― gyac, Monday, 23 September 2024 12:51 (five days ago) link
i still assume they wear a new shirt every game (at least the big names), so that topps will have enough game-worn jerseys to chop up and stick on limited edition baseball cards. a chunk of game-worn pants tho, idk how well that'd do with (most of) the card collecting community.
