whatever the reason, these are not only awful because gray unis really only belong on road baseball teams, but they have added giant logos to the design.... how is this a good look?its basically looks like the "sweatback" treatment and the disastrous 'turn ahead the clock' monstrosities had a kid... the spawn of two horrendous ideas! brilliant! (though i will admit, the sweatbacks are growing on me a little... i still don't like them)
this doesn't even get into the idea that these are not even uniforms for the schools.. they are nike unifoms.... paul lukas over at the uber-uni-nerd-awesome site 'uniwatch' goes into further detail on why this is such a dumb concept.
"As usual, taking a certain group of schools and putting them all in the same design template creates a Team Nike effect. In other words, the schools look like they’re playing for Nike instead of for themselves." - Lukas

Oh my...those Rockies uni's are absolutely gross. I don't even remember the "sweatbacks"; but they're not awful. They're not good either.
ReplyDeleteGray baseball uni's are sweet. They just don't work in other sports. Actually, the Caps have some sweet gray practice sweaters they wear. But I would be horrified if they busted them out for an actual game.
These ones are gray/black, but they have gray/white ones that are sweet but I couldn' find a pic.

the whole turn ahead the clock gimmick was such a debacle... and, of course the one franchise to take this ridiculous concept and make it even more ridiculous was none other than the new york mets... or, 'the mercury mets'
ReplyDelete(did you click on the word/link 'monstrosities' in the initial post? the mercury mets vs the pittsburgh pirates).. i am pretty sure i thought "the mets can't sink any lower" when they took the field in those unis.... little did i know....
I tried to click on the 'monstrosities' but I got an error message. Firewall may have blocked it.
ReplyDeletehmm... its possible - the link was to a flickr page.
ReplyDeletei just updated it with a new pic.
UGGHHH!!! Whoa, those uni's are things I'll never be able to "un-see". Disgusting. Yarf.
