False.

LOL

Well they do things differently in Texas

Honestly, that is one thing that bothers me about the Rangers home uniform but it's not a big thing.

Yeah, having "Texas" on the front for home games is awful, but the drop shadow and the red caps, undershirts and socks with the blue lettered home jerseys are just as bad. If the team could update their Ryan-era jerseys they would be nearing perfection.

I've actually talked to Chuck Morgan (VP of Ballpark Entertainment, Amazing Person), and he says the reason why they have gone with "Texas" on the home jerseys is because they want to market to the whole state. That's why they replaced all of the league flags with Texas flags and why they promote the red, white, and blue. Meh...

I like having Texas over the Rangers.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

They wear them at home but they're away uniforms "gets all snobby". Two clues

1. It's off white which back in that era was an acceptable substitute for grey
2. The "St. Louis" script is for road games. You don't see a home team wearing the city name on their jerseys.


Either way, there needs to be another set so they can wear that template all the time.

Off White is an accepted home color then (because of the flannel material) and now (Phillies, Giants, etc.).

The "St. Louis" script was present on both the home and road uniforms in 1931. This is the first time "St. Louis" has appeared on a Cardinal uniform in 80 years.

It looks bush league. Every other team in Baseball manages to have their nicknames on their home whites. It's amazing that upper management can't figure that out.

False.








All home whites that have 0 nicknames on them. If you want to be nit picky, the Nationals uniform has it in the logo on the sleeve, but I'm sure that's not what you are referring to.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I love the Nats uniforms.

I would have said the Reds can be added to that list, but it's in their logo.

Same with the Cubs and White Sox. If it showed up on the front of the jersey, I didn't count it.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I think you're being extra picky with the Nats, Tigers and Yankees not having their nicknames on the home jerseys because those are their logos. You can't help if the logo doesn't say the team name on it.

The Old English D for the Tigers and the interlocking NY for the Yankees are basically their identities so it would be a little silly to put "Tigers" or "Yankees" on their home uniforms. Anybody can tell you the names of those two teams based on the logos alone.

Woah.... that's bad.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I usually like things that try to copy the old Astros uniforms from the '70s-mid '80s but um yeah.....That's not good.

Doesn't look good when it's all shades of one color.

You should be able to say that about any MLB franchise. You shouldn't need to see "Rangers" on it to know they are the Texas Rangers, and have been for 43 seasons. The Rays are the only one I'd put in that category as at least their name was Devil Rays not too long ago.

And my post was based on the fact he claimed Texas was the only Major League club that did not have the nickname on their home whites. NY, D, and W are not nicknames so what I posted is still true. Doesn't matter whether you need the name or not; fact is it is not on there.

I think its alright if you're just using a cap logo like WAS/DET, but if you're using a script on your home jersey it should be the team name.

However, in the case of the Nationals, this would've been infinitely better than what they have now:
