Would you like to see the City Connect jerseys replace the current home jersey?

I would rather see some of the players wearing those jerseys replaced.

[BTH]

If that was my only choice, yes.

But if they’re changing jersey’s, I think they should just make the ‘70’s uniforms the primary jersey.

Agree that I would just because I don’t really like the current home one, I’d rather just modernize the concept though than go back to a previous jersey

The whole revolving door around logos and jerseys and colors, etc. is all part of the bigger branding problem this organization has had for years.  Everything from the team name to the revolving door around broadcasters adds to the identity of this team being sort of rinky-dink.   That's just my opinion.  I hate the Dodgers, but their brand has been consistent for as long as I can remember.  Teams like the Yankees, Cardinals, Red Sox and others don't change logos or colors as far as I know and they certainly don't change their names.  Hell, even their broadcast teams seem stable over the years (although I'm not 100% certain of that).  It's like the Angels are always tinkering... they're always trying to fix something that's broken. 

And yes, I know the City connect jerseys are all together different... but the topic prompted me to rant a bit about the overall brand.

Hasn’t it been like 20 years since we last changed the primary jersey set?

Yes, but how many iterations have there been over the last 60 years?  Quite a few, IMO.  I realize 20 years is close to a lifetime for you and it's the only jersey you've known - so my point is probably lost on you.

I mean I just don’t think that really matters when wondering if this current set should be re-designed.  This current set isn’t really timeless IMO, and enough time has passed to where it makes sense to give them an update.  Plenty of teams have changed their set more than once in that time.  That said I don’t think they’re egregious or really “need” to be changed.  Though I superstitiously can’t help but wonder if a change in brand might shake some of the bad energy off of this team

This.

But to answer the question, Yes. I like the City Connect Jerseys.

I just went off topic.... that's all.  Sorry.

Voted no. Too cartoonish looking.

They actually wore the same uniform for 20 years (1973-1992).   That was nice to see.

[Biergott]

If they replaced the cartoony logo on the chest and hat (which is worse than the chest) then yes.  I like the color and asymmetrical designs of the stripes.

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

How about a paper bag over the halo the way this season is?

[AngelsLakersFan]

The city connects are better but I don’t really care either way.

‘Just say fuck it and go back to the mid ‘90’s CA Angels uniforms. If the Minnesota Twins can wear TC on their hats the the Angels can wear a CA.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

The City Connect jerseys don't appear to have had much thought go into them. I am totally done with red-on-red, though.

[UndertheHalo]

I think branding is just about the only thing that Arte has handled well.  Leave the logo and the jersey alone. 

[Angelsfan1984]

I really like the stripes and winged A….said nobody ever.

[Puget Sound Angel]

If you are gonna retire the current unis, it should only be for the 70's throwbacks.

Should go back to being the California Angels with the classic “CA” logo
