White Glove Treatment

I like the early posting. makes it nice for the international uniwatchers out there.

Wow. I expected there to be much more “modern” (read: Nike-like) crap on the new Bucks duds. I’m actually quite excited about the new ones. a decent combo of their recent designs and retro. and they’re so simple!

two nitpicks:
1) I still am not really a fan of that typeface.
2) Dear NBA: lose the shiny fabric.

ultimately, while the only thing I will accept as Milwaukee Bucks gospel is link, these new unis are a major, major upgrade from what they were stuck with for the last decade or so.

Those Devils jerseys always made me think of watermelons for some reason.

for starters i love the devils logo cause it takes a second look to get all the elements but is still simple…

pedro’s karma couldn’t be worst… notice mostly that his injury is in the exact spot of his uniform infraction… if he would have just hike his socks the tendon would have been protected…

This should show Pedro that he shouldn’t mess with the powers of the UniWatchers!

Next time, just cash Paul’s check

[quote comment=”11052″][quote comment=”11050″]speaking of xmas… link![/quote]

YES!! I agree…

Although I don’t think too many uni watch readers will share our opinion. There was a bunch of commenting on this topic a week or two ago. It led to people bashing the logo and saying it was cartoony.[/quote]

I am all for bringing back the old Devils jerseys. And I hate the Devils! I did always like their unis though, until they changed them.

I agree with Hrabosky, that glove is tan, not white.
And yeah, Tape (#3), that Buck road jersey is just too shiny, almost Dallas-Maverick-silver-shiny!

The new Bucks unis are a huge improvement. Granted, they could have updated the logo, or even brought back the old-school Bango logo. But all in all, it’s a lot better than I had expected. The pairing of green and red is in my opinion an underused color combo.

[quote comment=”11063″]Niekro is a sore subject for me, so I can’t resist commenting.

The guy was railroaded – did any one stop to think about how exactly he was managing to discreetly rough up the ball with an object in his back pocket? In front of thousands of people and a TV audience? It did not happen, people. The board was for exactly what he said it was for.

Anyway, I’m glad they made Spurling change the glove.[/quote]
You’re right… the guy would have had to have been David Blaine (hehehehehe) to make that happen in front of 35K ppl. Railroaded is right.

The Bucks’ uniforms are better. I agree that the shiny fabric is not good, but they look much more like retro uniforms…

[quote comment=”11071″]Allow me to echo the “I hate shiny fabric”-comments. It makes the Nuggets look like they are wearing WNBA uniforms and it’s really not necessary on these new Bucks-duds. The Raptors got it right in passing on the shiny-ness.[/quote]

I was actually pretty excited to see the new Bucks uni’s (although I am a Bulls fan). I was very, VERY disappointed to see the shiny fabric. I would have loved to seen link

Karma Shmarma! Doesn’t this all go back to him slipping in the clubhouse when the umps made him take off or alter his Nike dot matrix shirt in May. He hurts his hip, starts limping around, probably strains both of his calves trying to compensate… AARRGGHH! I agree he should have cashed the check and looked good with high socks but I place the blame on the swoosh.
Let’s go Mets!

Besides the Bogut mess, anyone else notice how uncomfrotable mike redd looked in his uniform. Looked like his shorts were a XXL and his Jersey was a Child Small. Were the bucks going for the NHLs new tappered narrow look? Sounds funny, but seriously are they?

Also look how the fabric on Bogut’s jersey is pulling by the lettering already

I was googling the Orioles logo for my softball team at work and came across quite a gem on Chris Creamer’s site. It’s a redesign concept for the link. Not that they should or will ever change their look, but I think the designs have some merit.

[quote comment=”11066″]I actually like the red and green quite a bit. It’s time we start claiming color combinations back from holidays. Why should Christmas be teh only time that red and green are allowed to be seen together? They look good together, and they will look great filling the arena. I could care less about the Bucks, but I am all about bringing some life back to that tired-looking franchise.

Now that new off-center “Buck Head” logo of theirs, however… That’s a different story.[/quote]

How about black and orange as good-looking holiday colors? The Bengals notwithstanding, those two colors always go well to my eye. I will admit, though, I have a soft spot for orange, even if I am a son of a Texas A&M alum.

As far as the Jags’ unis go, I like the original set just fine, but can’t stand the black jersey or pants; those are just awful to me.

Also, I remember Paul saying quite a while ago (I want to say in his first ESPN column, but I’m not sure) that the Thrashers’ uniforms are another “modern” set he likes. I disagree with him, but I would like to know why he likes those uniforms.

Not sure about the uni design, but I like the idea of a two-tone stirrup/sock combo.

I must respectfully but vehemently disagree. The Orioles look has changed over the years, but it has been consistently good and has never offended. The redesign in the link features creativity run amok.

although he did have the dbacks in brick red, sand and black last year in his concept…

Those MLB uniform concepts are just plain offensive. The Orioles look like a football team. Then again, in real life, they sure don’t look like a baseball team.

[quote comment=”11077″]As for the D-Rays, I think you’re confusing me with someone else. I’m link as calling Tampa’s inaugural uniform the worst in MLB history. I have no problem with their current set, however, which I think is perfectly fine.[/quote]

I must have gotten that backwards, my apologies. But I don’t like the current set, either, so I knew we disagreed on one of the D-Rays unis.

[quote comment=”11103″]So are the Bucks now an affiliate with the Minnesota Wild? That color combo is awfully close.[/quote]

No, the Bucks just went back to their original colors (worn until the mid-80s) which the Wild had appropriated.

[quote comment=”11107″]I like the new Bucks jerseys. HUGE improvement over their previous ones. I’m in the minority on this, but I like the shiny jerseys. They remind me of the old UNLV jerseys from back in the day.

So many “new” jerseys (read: anything made by Nike) are ugly (Kentucky, Arizona, Florida, etc.) It’s refreshing to have a new jersey that isn’t brutal.

No, I said the NEW jerseys Nike made are ugly. The style shorts that George Mason wear is an OLD DESIGN that was first introduced in the mid-90s (worn by Penn St., Ok. St., a few other teams, I forget). GMU does not wear NEW style Nike jerseys (like LSU, Florida, Wake Forest, Iowa, etc.) Up until a few years ago Nike made some nice college basketball jerseys. Too bad they’ve really gone downhill with their NEW designs.

Paul,

On another subject have you heard anything about the Wizards ever getting new jerseys? The current ones the Wizards have are rough, in my opinion.

Thanks.

Oh, so shiny! Those Bucks unis have got to go. The whites are fine, but those shiny Christmas ones are an eyesore. Maybe it’s because I don’t like Christmas, but green and red together doesn’t sit well with me. I like the Wild unis for some odd reason, but I dislike the Bucks—back to the purple, please.

Oh, as to those concept designs—please burn them so no exec actually thinks they’re a good idea.

I don’t think the Wild “appropriated” the Bucks colors, certainly not intentionally. I doubt a Minnesota team would intentionally lift colors from a Wisconsin-based team. I think that the Wild chose their colors to represent various aspects about the state of Minnesota; I’m not certain what each color means, though.

Is there really a team out there called the link?

b. when it comes to white leather in baseball, what are we defining it as? any none black or dark brown leather on gloves? i’m convinced i own a pair of casual shoes that are that color, and they are definitely not white. when i hear the term “wearing the whites” i think of either a member of the us navy or naval academy in their dress whites, or rocking a pair of crispy new air force 1’s.

c. every time i read something about the devils and their unis, i cant help but think of their number 1 fan who is there to “support the team”. david puddy. “nobody messes with the devils. nobody.” incidently although he rocked the white red and black marty brodeur jersey, he painted his face red and green…[/quote]

The problem I always had with that episode is that Puddy said he had been a Devils fan since he was a little kid…when he was a little kid the Devils would have still been the Colorado Rockies…unless we are to believe Puddy is around 20-25 in the episode…which would be quite the stretch….

would it kill writers to do a little research before writing an episode? Like the hockey episode in the Simpsons where the puck appears to croos about five different red lines on the way down the ice…..arg!!!

[quote comment=”11094″]Nice to hear that Paul likes the Jags’ unis. As part of the 1% of America that roots for the Jags (according to Harris Interactive), I love the Jags’ unis. At first I disapproved of the change from traditional numbers. The 95-96 jersey was great.
link

I like the original Jaguars jersey more than the one they’ve got now, but the problem was that the triple-layered lettering extended to the player surnames above the numbers and it looked ridiculous.

If they’d kept the three-layer block numbers but made the names a single layer of white (home) or black (road), they would have looked perfect. The Devil Rays do this too and the names are much more readable than they would be if they also had three layers.

Those uniform redesigns are all horrible. Just because a guy knows how to use a few computer programs, doesn’t mean he is able to design unis. I don’t want every uni, logo etc to look “modern” and “bold” and “graphic” with thick outlines and comic book lettering and. The best designs are unique to that team and it’s history. These look like they came from a logo factory.

I know the artist. He was still in high school when he made these. I admire the fact he is willing to think outside the box when it comes to his concepts. I couldn’t do any of this stuff when I was in high school, or even years after that when I was learning to use the design software.

Unfortunately, when you see all of his concepts together, they are all very similar in style, with either pointed serif fonts or overuse of piping. It’s his fingerprint, but ultimately what kept these from progressing any further than they did.

I actually like this combo the best(I think there is a tiny bit of the turqoise were the NFL logo is on the jersey yoke). Since the black and gold are colors you might actually see on a jaguar. If you know of a turquoise jaguar let me know.

*Also, bring back the cartoon bird hat. (no two-tone hat though, preferable a solid black).
It’s the oriole bird, who’s wearing the cap with the oriole bird, who presumably is wearning a cap with the oriole bird, and so on into infinity.

A lot of those designs look like contest entries/winners.

I give the kid props for creativity and effort. His designs are a bit cookie cutter, and not something I’d like to see my teams wearing.

Although black and red go well together, I never liked the Devs change to black. I always felt they were just trending. There were other things they could’ve done than just dropping green for black and dulling down the red.. And now after seeing the black for many years, their jerseys just look bland now.

He’s a lot like Paris Hilton in that regard.

I remember when AAO was doing this project on Chris Creamer’s board. He took on the task of redesigning every team, and I tip my cap to him for that. As a whole, yes, many have similar design trademarks of his. But give one team one of his designs and I think it could work. Not saying I’d want it to be the Cubs, but I honestly like the fact that he took even the traditional teams in a bold new direction. (And why are the Cubs completely untouchable — they’ve won nothing in these or any of the versions since 1945… or 1908 to be specific.) It’s just a concept, folks. It’s not like one day MLB is going to say — “everyone change to these now.” Well, maybe they would — I forgot Turn Ahead the Clock day. He did a nice job with them.
