I did like the pinstripes though. They went 13 years with it so. I guess it was time fro a change. I still think the new unis are too plain, the sunday alts are fine. I think only the Reds and Red Sox are the only teams that should ever be allowed to wear red as an alternate uni. I've never like the prison gray roadies, some think that the pinstripes are too bussy, but I disagree. Oh well, I'll never see the road unis live.

I don't mind the classic type face, but I agree that the throwback look is undercut by the drop shadow and outlining. I don't mind the piping on the home jersey. What I would have liked to see is just a red, wishbone "C" instead of the logo with "REDS" inside. I think that would be cleaner, more distinctive, and a bit more cohesive with the piping. Long live the old-timey, mustached, Mr. Red. The black bill on the roadies has to go. Finally, to answer your question, the Reds are the only team ever that has looked go in a Red Jersey. : ) I’m in total agreement regarding the drop shadow and the legibility of the typeface.

Does that mean they're realted?! Even more important: Should I break the news to my girlfriend? She's a Red fan, I'm a Met fan. Um, does this mean... we're related? Noooooooooo!

I am stunned to see how I can find a uniform completely fine and someone will have a list of complaints. matt said:

Closest thing I have to a theory For the Leafs logo change I figure it might just be slight change from the leaf they have now
to a leaf more like the one on the Canadian flag, although clearly still in blue.

Closest thing I have to a theory

Hornets, Rockies, and Diamondbacks all had good use of purple in their jerseys, two have left it behind and are far far worse for it. I'll rally around any save the purple cause there is for the Rockies (even though I'm not a fan), it fits the team and city so well and is timeless. Johnny said:
