Angel Duds: ‘Bright, Brilliant’ or ‘Ugly as Sin’?

Like the Uniforms

“I do like the new design. It’s different from a lot of other teams and I just want to see the Angels play baseball and just try and win this year.”

--Terri Ward, 38, La Habra

*

“I like the new uniforms, but I miss the halo. The wings are OK and I like the stripe.”

--Roma Bunch, 63, Santa Ana

*

“I’ve been a fan of the Angels for years and years and years. The new uniforms are much more suited to baseball than the ones they’ve been wearing all these years.”

--Elizabeth Swanson, 85, San Juan Capistrano

*

“I like ‘em. Don’t like the name though. I don’t like Anaheim Angels. I kind of like the old California Angels. We have a gender gap here at work. The women like them and the men do not.”

--Robin Clark, 41, Santa Ana

*

“The uniforms are so beautiful they will distract our viewing of the players on the field when they continue to lose, although I certainly hope their new beautiful uniforms will get them to play more beautifully also.”

--John Russell, 67, Costa Mesa

*

“They’re very classy, but I question why we have two different uniforms, one for home and one for away games. It seems like an added expense that’s unnecessary. I say, go with one or the other.”

--Harry Mc Partland, 42, Laguna Niguel

*

“They’re traditional, yet catchy. It’s a bright, brilliant change.”

--Bob Browning, 34, Brea

*

“As long as they go out and win, I really don’t care what they wear.”

--Dan Holland, 23, La Verne

*

“I really like those uniforms. They’re great and I like light blue.”

--Barbara Pedersen, 44, Huntington Beach

*

“I’m an art major and it’s a good design overall. The Angels insignia on the uniform is a copy of the Sonics uniform, which I like. The only thing that’s lacking: It would have been really nice if they still kept a little bit of the halo on the ‘A’ of the hat.”

--Tony Aguilar, 57, Yorba Linda

*

“The uniform is good, but the logo should have stayed California Angels.”

--Richard Vasquez, 26, Santa Ana

*

“I like the jerseys. I think they’re really beautiful. They’re better than last year’s.”

--Michael Fierstein, 11, Buena Park

*

“I do like the uniforms. My little-leaguer has been drafted by the Angels and I hope he gets the threads.”

--Rick Goldenberg, 37, Laguna Niguel

*

“The new uniform looks good, not great.”

--Patrick Narholm, 32, Santa Ana

*

“I like the pinstriping on it and I like the colors. It looks a lot cleaner than the old uniforms.”

--Martin Strudwick, 32, Diamond Bar

Do Not Like the Uniforms

“The only thing I don’t like about the new Angels uniform is the navy sleeves. If you left the home uniforms all white with the navy pinstripe, that looks great. And the same thing with the road uniforms--all gray. The navy sleeves make it look too much like a softball team. Everything else is pretty awesome.”

--Jim Winters, 35, Santa Ana

*

“I hate this uniform; it looks awful. I don’t like the logo; I don’t like the collar; I don’t like the wording on it. Why don’t you guys just leave things the way they used to be?”

--Susie Garza, 48, Whittier

*

“They look like a pair of my kid’s pajamas. I’d like something a little more traditional.”

--Michael Meyer, 36, Tustin

*

“Don’t like the uniforms. It looks more like Disney than baseball.”

--Lee Bregman, 14, Irvine

*

“They’re ugly. They look like something a traveling softball team would wear to draw a crowd. These are terrible.”

--Joe Venegas Jr., 40, Orange

*

“If they were joining a girls bobby sox league, they’d be very appropriate. Otherwise, they look absolutely ridiculous.”

--Rick Anderson, 37, Las Flores

*

“When they play the Yankees in New York, both teams will be wearing pin stripes. The Yankees made pin stripes famous. The Angels should have kept the pure white.”

--Ted Tweed, 57, La Habra

*

“It looks like a little kid’s team.”

--Carol Weiss, 39, Orange

*

“Please, get rid of the feathers.”

--John Hoffman, 76, San Clemente

*

“They’re awful. They’re ugly as sin.”

--Matthew McQueen, 29, Huntington Beach

*

“They’re terrible. These guys are going to look like Disney characters. Don’t humiliate these guys any more than they were humiliated by last season’s record.”

--Keith Alexander, 26, Seal Beach

*

“No wonder my husband and I are Padres fans. We make the hundred-mile trip for our season-ticket packages. They have the sense not to do this sort of crazy sort of thing. It’s embarrassing. Thank God the Padres will never do this.”

--Janice Crocker, 35, Yorba Linda

*

“These uniforms are the pits. Why are they changing them? The old ones were just fine. There’s no reason to fix something that wasn’t broken.”

--Kenya Umphenour, 31, Huntington Beach

*

“Looking at these silly-looking uniforms. The only things that are missing are feet at the bottom of the legs and a trap door so the little boys who would be wearing them can go potty. These are silly. You can tell Disney is in this. The Dodgers rule. The Angels are little boys. Too bad.”

--Jim Curran, 42, Mission Viejo

*

“The colors aren’t that bad but the logo is just terrible with the lazy ‘A.’ My friend just bought a hat and the logo is off-centered. It’s just terrible.”

--Bruce Parks, 50, Balboa Peninsula

*

“This insignia on the Angels hat is the most stupid thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve been wearing this hat for a week and everybody’s laughing at me and wanting to know what it’s supposed to be. It’s ridiculous. They say, ‘What the hell is that?’ I’ve been a fan for many years and I just don’t know what to do.”

--Herb Marshall, 65, Newport Beach

*

“Embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing. If I was a player, I would not want to play. These uniforms are disgusting.”

--Craig Tully, 25, Newport Beach

*

“Can’t stand ‘em.”

--Taylor Olson, 29, Tustin

*

“They’re ugly. They should have just stuck with the regular colors. Disney is making a fool out of them.”

--Lou Castillo, 13, Costa Mesa

*

“They stink. They’re terrible. They’re ugly.”

--Benny Gomez, 31, Anaheim

*

“Periwinkle on a baseball uniform? Come on!”

--Mike Sherman, 37, Irvine

*

“Not really hot on the logo; like the addition of the periwinkle. But those blue sleeves--oh! It just seems kind of wimpy.”

--Eric Godfrey, 54, Newport Beach

*

“It’s hideous. It’s teal and purple away from being an expansion team uniform.”

--David E. Scherzer, 25, Huntington Beach

*

“The new Angels uniforms stink. They shouldn’t change them just to generate new sales of merchandise. The old ones look great.”

--Ron Wolford, 70, Irvine
