NewEnglandAmazins Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 This thread has been a pleasant surprise, I would like to see the other uniforms of the teams which have yet to qualify. What does Colombia, Italy, Netherlands , etc look like in the 1960's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Who knows! You'll see what they look like in the 90s. I've been meaning to post 1977 for a few days. I'll try and do that. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 The hosting privileges came down to Japan and the Dominican Republic, but for the first time the island nation would host the games. This was seen as a "perfect attendance award" to a nation that hasn't fully emerged as a baseball powerhouse yet. The qualifying had some exciting developments. Japan joined South Korea and Chinese Taipei to form an Asian confederation. The move allowed a European team to get an automatic bid into the final tournament. That hole was filled by the Netherlands with the help of Bert Blyleven. Cuba had the most runs in a tiebreaker for the second North American bid, earning the national team a first bid since reorganizing in Miami. Two teams broke up the Super 8 that had been dominating world baseball. Group A was considered much more even than Group B. The teams in Santo Domingo fought for supremacy with Venezuela and Puerto Rico advancing. Unfortunately for the Dutch, Bert Blyleven couldn't bat and lead to a low of 4 runs. The USA and Japan advanced as many people predicted. The Cuban fans that had fled to the Dominican couldn't help the team win more than one game.The Venezuelans once again advanced to the finals with a win over Oh and his Japanese teammates. Puerto Rico was rocked by Johnny Bench's 2 home runs leading to another USA-Venezuela match up in the knockout rounds. In this instance, the USA was victorious with a late homer in the 8th by George Brett. That would mark the 4th championship for the nation. The majority of the teams remained the same. The iconic orange of the Dutch made their debut at this tournament. The Cubans also wore color for this tournament. They went with the softball-looking white top red pants at home and the inverse on the road.

mamiller99 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Oh, I love Venezuela's wacky stripping! I do think it'd be cool the the Netherlands home said Oranje. I think having natl. team nicknames is fitting for the home jerseys That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner8ball Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Those all look great. The only nitpick I have is that some of the jerseys for 1977 still have the 1973 logo in the picture. Great work though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
