Yeah "The Lou" is bad as it doesn't appear anyone in St Louis associates with that.
The squiggly lines are to reflect the rivers. Would've been bold for them to put those in blue on the jersey, not the small grey stiching that isn't noticeable unless up close.
The fleur de lis and the rivers are on the city flag.
Are they the worst? Depends what define as worst. Un-imanagtive? Worst looking? There are lots of ones in each of those categories, and most of them that really don't dive fully into a city connect theme.
I did a big post in the Jays thread about the CC's. You can tell the teams who really engaged in this process, and those others who didn't.
The majority of them are basically alternate uniforms that teams already probably had in mind, and tack on some vauge local thing like a patch or the city initals or slogan and call it city connect. Most of those have the same color scheme generally as their current uniform set, maybe change the pants to dark to give an alternative look.
Teams though like Padres, Rays, Mets, Red Sox, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Rangers and Marlins (the last two to a lesser degree)went away from the current color schemes to try and capture the city connect vibe through a uniform look, not just a patch.
Will see what the Jays pull off in a week or less, if it leaks.
