The team has unveiled "new" uniforms for Sunday home games which, as expected, are recreations of the team's garb from 1978-1993. Blue pinstripes adorn the white jerseys and pants, "BREWERS" is stitched across the chest and the caps feature the popular "ball and glove" logo.

I don't think the Padres have ever had a uni that didn't look like something out of McDonald's drive through.

The Brewers fun hat is the one from the early 70s with the big frosty mug of beer on the front.

The Mariners had that trident on the hat forever until it was pointed out that that is considered a maritime symbol of bad luck. Oddly enough they seemed to start winning around the time they dropped the trident.

or not.

Lukas on All-Star uni shenanigans:

Alex Rodriguez has gone ivory-footed in the All-Star Game at least since his Rangers days. Writing in his now-defunct blog two years ago (yes, A-Rod had a blog), he explained why: "When I was a kid, I used to watch the All-Star Game on TV. I grew up a big Mets fan, as many of you know..."

.................................

sfw? He probably wasn't even a Republican then.

still trying to come to grips with this abomination:

you too can be a SS for the Toronto Blue Jays!

a couple things:

1)I was really bummed to see that the Rays removed any hint of green from their new uni's.

2)The Mets have the best uni's in all of sports. The orange highlights KILL me everytime.

I will rep for the Indians' 3rd college jerseys being the best in Baseball.

Paul Lukas last week on this year's patches (a little out of date since there were some late reveals):

Holy shit, that Lukas dude is ugly. (As a fellow ugly person, I'm allowed to say that.)

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.

Lukas on all the teams' changes (or in the Mets' case, none)

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).

It’s just very…gray and feels like it would be more appropriate for the yanks. Need more color.

the "iconic skate media" is obviously Thrasher Magazine (Thrasher's based in SF, but is ubiquitous at this point), the flames doubling as waves I guess (according to the video)?

hahaha

"The Lou" lmao way to stay current with a 24 year old pop song

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.png

Since the uniforms are tailored (?) do they get a limited amount of these and launder and mend as necessary?

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.

New Cubs home alternates (that replace the Wrigleyville dark blues I think?) are very nice

Is it a new city connect?

I love that logo but otherwise it's a lil too Phillies for me

There are no bad sky blue uniforms in baseball, PROVE ME WRONG FELLAS

that Tetas cap is going to be a collectors item

(it has already been pulled from stores)

o, my!

I mean, we have a national park called The Grand Tetons and nobody bats an eye?

I'm feeling the orange. I like the bird.

the orange is good (especially with high socks)

I love these powder blues

Salvy has such young grandpa energy these days

He’s only 34!

oh no

did nike fix the... like... the fuckin uniforms for this season btw

Yes they did the free dick show is no more

lol those are wild. might have to buy one for posterity sake tbf

apparently home uniforms are still the 2024 design???

in terms of quality, lettering etc

or maybe it’s just the fabric for the home whites that will be the shitty 2024 versions. conflicting reports.

Rangers city connects are... something.

https://i.imgur.com/pFzifqN.jpeg

Love the cool right breast gothic logo and the radical font choice for numerals...

The black full-length pants make me think of a valet.

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

https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/private/t_16x9/t_w1536/mlb/kcbifd4qvmq74hpzfulf.jpg

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
