I've seen the see-through criticism but I don't see that there or an obvious issue. What about it is so bad? -- nm

- I kind of...like? the throwback to 50s/60s style? Better plain than gothic or some Book of Kells decorative font for me. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 14:10 1
  - Actually I take that back. I would like a league-wide Book of Kells uniform day. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 14:12
The letters are much smaller and not sewn on but like iron on letters. The numbers are also smaller. They moved the MLB logo lower which also doesn't - Krusty Feb 23, 13:58
compare the lettering -- (link) - crash davis Feb 23, 13:52 [Image] 4
- There are other issues as well, see how the old sleeve emblems pop and have depth. The new jersey looks like $17.99 Walmart shirts -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:55 3
  - They changed team colors as well. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 14:00 2
    - and the more I look at it, the more I see his right sleeve is closer to the elbow than his left! - Max Feb 23, 14:04 1
      - I owned authentic Mariner (Griffey Jr) jersey and a game used Boise Hawks jersey. There is a difference between the American League and the Pioneer - crash davis Feb 23, 14:12
my guess is the centering on the number -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 13:42 12
- eh, if the issue is that it's a millimeter to the left, imperfect but not "disgusting." If the issue is 4 looking off center from the name, - Max Feb 23, 13:46 7
  - I think that little dot at the collar is the center, right? if you follow that line down, the 4 is way off. It take up less that two 'lines' - Andie Feb 23, 13:54 [Attachment] 4
    - ah, in that case the name is also off. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 13:57 3
      - yep (but it's hard to tell, it could be tucked in askew!) -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 13:58 2
        
        and now put your hands together and welcome to the stage: Tucked in Askew 👏👏👏👏👏 -- nm - JD Feb 23, 13:59 1
        
        Tucked in Askew is my 9th favorite Neko Case song -- nm - rollo Feb 23, 14:03
  - not too bad is ok for a high school team. for a professional billion dollar team this is beyond insane -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Feb 23, 13:52 1
    - An outgoing tide lowers all boats? Lowering the bar? - JD Feb 23, 13:54
- That's not actually off though -- I get it looks weird, but if you center on the vertical, it's heavily left-leaning - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:44 3
  - The lack of quality control is embarrassing for everyone. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 14:03 2
    - In defense of the QA folks, aren't these essentially single data point examples? Mebbe they're supposed to look that way? - JD Feb 23, 14:19 1
      - I guess I have a hard time believing it was a design choice to have it misaligned. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 14:24
