For teams with word script across their uniforms, Nike’s new template creates awkward break [Uni Watch]

tl;dr Nike’s template is reducing the spacing between the piping and the edges of the uniform by approximately 1 inch. For teams that use script text across the chest (such as the Dodgers and Cardinals), it affects where the button line hits on the script, even they don’t use piping.
What was wrong with the wider placket? Why bother doing this at all?
Bring back Majestic
Nike put more effort into their College baseball jersey templates than the MLB ones
Why not just use the jersey templates from last season then?
Don’t make me tap the “please for the love of god stop changing things only for the sake of changing them” sign
Use the edge of the left overlap as the stationary point instead of the buttons. Tweak it a little if it looks wonky
Is it really that hard so as to avoid a weird split?
Nike what the fuck
We used to have it so good with uniforms across the board, then Fanatics monopolized the entire business.
I hate that they’re in charge of fan apparel. I hate that they’re gonna make on-ice NHL equipment. I hate everything about Fanatics.
It looks amateurish and cheap.
Why are they making all the home jersey off-white now as well?
nike is the fucking worst
Nike doing kits half assed? What else is new? Jesus. Nike has been ass for like 10 years or so
Even worse: we’re doing patches now instead of direct embroidery? I never thought BDW III would stand for that. ~~The chain stitching is what made them the best in the business.~~ I’m glad I got my jerseys before the dark ages of Nike and Stifel. Wish I had gotten a cream alt in that time though
Edit: ok, so it’s still chain stitched, but not directly into the jersey. Still a massive downgrade
STOP fucking with the ~~baseballs~~ jerseys!
We all took Majestic for granted when we had it
Wait wait wait, is the Cardinals lettering no longer going to be chainstitched? According to the article it says it’s now going to be composed of two patches instead of being direct embroidered. If that does remove the chainstitching then this may be able to be classified as an act of terrorism.
Nike has made NBA and MLB jerseys so much worse. I absolutely hate it
I know this wasn’t the point of the article but I’m glad I didn’t realize the previous Giants jerseys were wonky until after the change
Huh, never before in my life have I wanted to learn everything there is to know about jersey manufacturing, until now.
