What would you change if the Angels were to rebrand?

[Second Base]

The Angels uniforms were awesome 20 years ago. You know who else was awesome 20 years ago? Creed. Limp Bizkit. Nickelback. 

If you have something timeless, you keep it. Bleached (frosted) tips, spiked hair and JNCO jeans aren't timeless, they're a fad, and that's basically what the Angels uniforms are. 

Change it, find a classic look that you can keep henceforth and won't be outdated in five years. Re-add Navy blue to the color scheme. Or, forget the classic look and do what the University of Oregon does and keep a fresh stream of uniforms that keep you at the forefront on fashion. 

But the only wrong thing to do is to keep one shitty style and maintain it forever. The guy that's 45 and still dresses like a Backstreet boy isn't cool, he's pathetic. 

I think pretty much every agrees the Angels need to change it up, the only disagreement it seems, is just how much.

I don’t think they can change their name to California Angels

Just curious, why?

With some alterations, sure. The v neck pullover thing looks dumb to me.... and the waistband is a bit much, but more blue... some gold/yellow... would be fantastic 

Agreed. Some alterations to the design would be ideal. The hat and “A” logo are perfect.

If anything I’d just like to see our current logo with a blue jersey and gold halo.

Or the Cali Angels, for those not from California

The Cali Angels sounds like a Columbian drug cartel hit squad with a penchant for irony.

If the Columbians had our lineup card the past few weeks, the dope game would have had just about zero violence.

Can’t use the name California, mang.

Is that just a MLB thing, hence Golden State Warriors is still allowed?

I was under the assumption that the angels can’t realistically go back to using California in their name since they would be stealing market share from the other teams in the state. But it’s a baseless assumption.

For the record, I would prefer the name “California Angels,” and I think abandoning it was a huge blunder.

But, changing the name again would further embarrass this franchise. I mean the constant name changes and brand dysphoria must be a record at this point.

I prefer the Anaheim or California Angels. I don't dislike LA Angels, but I would change it.

name: Anaheim Angels

uniforms: the 93-96? version (the one right before the disney winged A)

colors: keep the colors, but work in more a lot more navy blue, return the halo to the top of the hat, change the hat logo so that it isn't that ridiculous red on red

Yup, this would work for me as well. It’s my favorite look the team has ever worn. As Tank said, all it really needs is the classic halo stitched onto the crown of the cap. It’s a truly unique and clever design feature that they never should have abandoned.

Winner of the thread

My vote, return to the California Angels. As far as uniform and colors, return to the classic retro uniforms they wore last weekend. 
 

if they keep the same uniforms and color scheme they have now at least get rid the red on red on the hat. Make the A on hat white similar to the hat they wore for the 4th of July weekend.

I'd just change uniforms.

I like the Home Whites and Road Grays, but would have an Alternate Color for both, Red Tops and White Bottoms for Home, Navy Blue Top and Gray Bottoms for Road?

Just needs a good halo and it’d be perfect
