The amazing thread of Uniforms and Logos - Part 2

[Shifty]

That'd be weird. Has there ever been a team re-named without moving?

Mighty Ducks of Anaheim to Anaheim Ducks. That's when Disney sold the team and the new owner wanted a different name.

 

[Immortalfire]

Well, that's not really a major change. From what Hulk's post suggests, the NBA thing would be like if the Texas Rangers decided to change their name to the Arlington Airhawks.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Well, weren't the Tennessee Titans the Tennessee Oilers for a while before they decided to nix the old name and go with something new? I know they had previous moved from Houston, but it wasn't an immediate name change.

 

[Immortalfire]

Did they? I don't recall. If so, I'm glad they ditched it. Because Tennessee is SO well known for it's oil rigs.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Hahaha, yeah.

I think it's funny though that they chose to name themselves after mythological beings who are most famous for getting their asses kicked.

New York Highlanders -> New York Yankees
Washington Bullets -> Washington Wizards

Like all of the Jazz musicians in Utah or lakes in Los Angeles

 

[Rowsdower!]

Hey, I'm pretty sure there are Panthers in North Carolina and the the world's largest penguin habitat is in Pittsburgh.

So the Rays are "turning back the clock" to a hypothetical 1979 where they actually existed. Talk about manufactured nostalgia...

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

ummm...doesn't a uniform have to exist for a throwback of it?

That is exceptionally lame.

 

[Rowsdower!]

All of the players on the Rays should grow 70s porn 'staches to commemorate.

Brewers and D-Back to go "Italian" on July 1st?

The Milwaukee Brewers will continue their ethnic heritage uniform series next month by becoming the first Major League team to sport Italian-language uniforms on July 1st.
Both the Brewers and their opponents, the Arizona Diamondbacks, will sport the Italian uniforms – both team names will be spelled out in Italian across the front and feature the colours of the Italian flag.

For the record “Brewers” in Italian is “Birrai”, while the Diamondbacks are going with “iD-backs”, the same route of NBA’s “add ‘the’ to before the team name” style of special language jerseys.
The uniforms will be using the batting practice template, which of course means the side-panels will be coloured differently from the main base of the jersey. Milwaukee’s will be green with red sides, Arizona will wear black with one green and one red side.
Milwaukee has already worn both Spanish and German language uniforms in the past year, Arizona wore “Los Dbacks” Spanish uniforms (yup, they added “the” to the name) in 2008.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Not really a sports uniform per se, but look at what our Olympians will be wearing for the opening ceremonies.

All hail the United States of Benetton!

Fresno Grizzlies TDKR themed jerseys

The AAA San Francisco Giants affiliate in Fresno joined the fun Friday, July 6th, and wore jerseys that made the players look as if they wore the Batman chest plate. The jerseys were pullovers which allowed a sublimated design to cover the front.

[Rowsdower!]

Man, I wish WB had tried this type of marketing back when Schumacher was making Batman films. Who wouldn't want to see nipples on a jersey?

 

[Go Web Go!]

Way too early to have anything to show for, but the Dolphins are apparently changing their logo/uniforms for the 2013 season. Thankfully.

 

[Immortalfire]

All teal, I hope.

 

[Go Web Go!]

TEal 4 REal

 

[Rowsdower!]

It's all about the orange. I hope they have orange helmets, pants, everything.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

always thought the Dolphins logo and colors were pretty solid. The number font left a bit to be desired but that's a pretty classic looking uniform.

[TheOnlyOmega]

Why would anyone ever buy a Gotham Rogues jersey?

 

[Immortalfire]

Fan novelty.

 

[Darthphere]

Seriously, why wouldn't someone buy a Gotham Rogues jersey?
