They don't NEED a new gold-trimmed version of their jerseys to celebrate their championship. You forgot Boston in the middle, there. It's just kinda become a tradition since the Giants did it, which itself was a callback to when they won at the dawn of last century and wore "WORLD CHAMPIONS" on the front of their jerseys for a year. It's generally inoffensive, although I doubt it would be welcomed in the Bronx if it was done there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think this has to become a continuous thing. Teams did just fine with the championship patches. And if it continues eventually some team is gonna get it horribly wrong. I mean just imagine if the DBacks were to win another championship with their current sets! The horror! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean just imagine if the DBacks were to win another championship with their current sets! The horror! In defense of the practice, if is a ONE DAY thing. The Royals went full year because it had been so long, gold's in their color scheme, and quite frankly out of the last three champions they had the least iconic and sacred uniform. I don't expect the Cubs to wear gold around their logos on their home uniform the whole year. Also, the comment on the blue at home for Opening Day was a joke, although considering they won in those uniforms, the more I think of it the more I wouldn't put it 100% out of the realm of possibility.

The Cardinals did it in 2007. Prototype jerseys were made for the White Sox in 2006 with gold replacing the silver outlines, but they were never worn.

The_Admiral Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Cubs world championship awareness (and commerce) will be high enough without Trumpianly gold-trimmed jerseys, thanks. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which reminds me that Adrian Gonzalez hates Trump and his wish for Illegals to leave the US. Thank goodness A-Gon plays for the Dodgers so he never will have to worry about meeting Trump in the white house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankees had caps for their championship in 09, but didn't wear them on the field in 2010. It's been done in some form every year over the last decade, so I would be really surprised if the Cubs don't do something.

They still have to promise to never wear alts with their road pants again, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
