I see Red RED RED

[TroutBaseball]

I LOVE the Angels logo. I LOVE that the Angels have red caps. (the designer, Todd Radom is great). But there is a serious problem with the two of them.  A red logo on a red cap, from a design perspective, does not work.  There is no differentiation between them.

 

I very quickly mocked up these variations to show what I'm talking about.  Look at them and answer one question, where does the logo "pop" the most?  Where does it "pop" the least? #1 is the current design.

 

I love the red cap so I tried to include two options (#3 and #4) where the bill is split from the rest of the cap so that at least part of the cap is still red.

 

I think the teams' primary logo should be the current one. But on red caps and red shirts they should use white lettering.  What do you think?  Keep the status quo or introduce a new cap?

 

 

edit to add these two versions:

If a new cap helps the offense improve I'm all for it.

[TroutBaseball]

Maybe you are trained in design and that's why it bothers you so much. I have never noticed/cared.

Now I've educated you and you'll start to notice. (Mwah ha ha)

I don't mind the current designs, but your mockups are nice. Good work. They've actually used the white lettering on other colors, from what I've seen in the team store.

I just wish they'd get a fourth jersey. Seems as though a lot of teams now have four jerseys, and the Angels just have three. Fourth color would have to be blue, I guess.

Here are two more versions

if the angels get a blue jersey like every other crap team in this league, i'm going to do something rash.

Actually I don't see the need for the logo to "pop".  I prefer the lack of contrast in #1.

 

#3 is good too, and I wouldn't mind seeing a navy blue jersey from time to time.

 

#2 might look good with "LA" instead of just "A"

Then another color, but hell, even the A's can afford four jerseys, why can't the Angels?

3 is basically their old Spring Training hat design.  The logo on the blue cap. 

[TroutBaseball]

3 is actually the first halo logo designed hat with the updated logo, Don Baylor era.

1 and 3 I am fine with, and just because their hat doesn't "pop" doesn't mean you don't know Angel red when you see it. And I appreciate the designs OP made for examples, but personally I think 2 and 4 look like garbage.

Could the Angels pull off pinstripes for a fourth uniform? TBH I don't really know why we'd need 4, do the Yanks or BoSox have 4?

I think the only reason teams like the A's and Giants have 4 uniforms is because they have 2 predominant colors (yellow and green, orange and black). Angels have 1 predominant color, and that's red and only red. But we saw this weekend what the Giants 4th Orange uni looked like, and that was bad.

I'd rather just have 3 nice uniforms, than a 4th one that tries too hard and is ugly as hell.

[ELEVEN]

Suggesting pinstripes should be an automatic ban.

[bloodbrother]

I really wish they did incorporate Navy a bit more or at least had another alt uni that had it in there. Always thought it looked nice. They have the all red alt already, so why not add another one that has the navy cap with red brim and the red A logo on it with the sleeves/socks being navy. They'll bust out different throwbacks during the year that has this but just incorporate the look with their current home white unis

[ItzTacosYerrp]

trout looks good in any shade

[tomsred]

I vote for this logo, it worked in hockey maybe it will carry over to the Angels.

 

[AngelsSurfer]

Red Sox actually have four uniforms right now...Yanks only have two but who wants to be like the Yankees?

I like the idea of incorporating the navy into a red jersey with accents.

[Ohtaniland]

My favorite Angels Logo is the 1995-96 

 

 

For obvious reasons.....

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Can't they rebrand the hats, replacing the A with just the poop emoji?

💩

[Mark68]

I prefer 3 at home and 4 on the road.
