Man, the away uniform looks like a rip off of Chinaās national baseball team.
There are plenty of red jersey designs Rakuten could have gone for. They could copy the Angelsā uniform, having a v-neck to avoid looking so generic. They could do Red Soxās jersey, and have a darker grey to replace the white from the home jersey.
At least the white one is ok looking. I think they put more thoughts into designing the cheerleadersā uniform.
Itās the same colors as the golden eagles so guess they need gold.
I canāt believe they were considering calling themselves the Eagles. Thatād confuse the crap out of people.
Also, this should count as more foreign investment.
Tell me how they are not the exact same jerseys?
Oh, the away jersey for the Rakuten Golden Eagles looks a lot nicer.
Thatās Taiwanese pitcher Sung Chia-hao wearing the Golden Eaglesā away jersey.
If the Japanese Rakuten jersey doesnāt need the gold trim, why does the Taiwan Rakuten jersey need it?
They ARE the same jersey. They just had a lot of excess stock lying around, and needed to repurpose it somehow. Japanese companies arenāt doing business with China anymore.
Now, Taiwanese franchises are another matter entirely. Not China at allā¦
They donāt need the gold trims, but most of their uniforms have gold lining. Itās not nearly as prominent as Team Chinaās gold. Maybe theyāre the Golden Monkeys now?
I think the double-duty the Taoyuan does (ę”å + ę”ēæ) is actually better for Rakutenās brand, because now Rakuten is just one of two words instead of Rakuten Taoyuan Monkeys
My issue is that thereās nothing about monkeys on the uniform. Iād like to see a cartoon monkey like the Indians or the Orioles logos on the hats.
good one.
They look cheap.
Rakuten of Japan purchased Lamigo. What do you think?
Thereās a thread further down.
I think this is good.
First, itās foreign investment. We can use a little more of that.
Second, itās quite novel- one owner of teams across two leagues in the same sport.
Third, they might be able to help our small league. From their presser, they claimed to have turned Japanese baseball around. Iām not sure what they can do here, because Lamigo is already successful. But letās wait and see.
Iām a Kobo owner now, so this is my team.
The only reason I got right now.
Weichuan uniforms are sweet. Although I think this is in danger of copyright infringement from DragonballZ.
