Your sensible 2007 Cincinnati Reds:

Ugh, linky issues.

Nicely done - I hope the Mets follow suit...

Random Thoughts:

Love Mr. Redlegs...not crazy about the black bill or the loss of the vest...don't like the lettering or numbers (with black drop shadow)...would prefer white home jerseys, but red beats black for sure...

Not a fan of the black bill either, but I love the new home whites. They look so much cleaner than this ugly sleeveless thing last year.



I also dig the font and the numbers. I think they match pretty nicely, and look kind of turn-of-the-century like Mr.Redlegs and his crazy mustache. I'm fine with the drop shadow, too. It's minimal black (it's a shadow) and it gives the lettering depth.

Subtle make-over but pretty well done, I think.

Nice job on the new uniforms. The Reds never should have been wearing black in the first place. I like the more traditional look of the uniforms.

They look nice. Glad they have sleeves again. All they need to do now is ditch the black bills.

I think that, if any team should have a sleeveless top, it's the Reds.

Agreed.

You guys like the blood red jerseys? Seriously?

I need to setup an intervention for some of you peeps.

The blood reds are probably a low point of the overall design, but as far as red jerseys go, they're actually not that bad.
