What's wrong about this uniform? It was the second of the Cardinals' two season experiment without front numbers. The front numbers would return in 1999, when Drew would stick in the majors for most of the season: Wow, I have no memory of the Cardinals ever not having front uniform numbers. I've seen the McGwire record-setting home run a million times, and in fact own that book thing Sporting News made, but would have bet every cent in my bank account that that uniform had numbers on the front. This feels like a Berenstein/Berenstain Bears thing here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the perfect example of the Mandela effect - I bet 99 out of 100 baseball fans who remember that moment would think that he was wearing a front number when it happened. It looks incredibly strange to see that uniform sans front number, to the point that you can tell something is wrong, but can't quite put your finger on it (until realizing what it is).

On that "Mandela effect" thing -- the stupid people who think that Mandela died in prison have to somehow have overlooked this iconic moment: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1999 Rams' turnaround was so shocking that it was dominating NFL news that season, and Faulk's acquisition was right in the middle of that. Even if they hadn't won the Super Bowl, we would still remember Faulk in these uniforms along with the Y2K crap that's really starting to grate on me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave this a "like" based solely on the freakin' sweet 1996-97 (or is it 1997-98?) Upper Deck Collector's Choice card. I bought a box of the 1995-96 set at Wal-Mart waaaaaaaaay back in the day. Love those '90s card designs! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The semantics are wrong because he did wear kelly green for his whole Eagles career. But this is the uniform for which he is associated. Right team, wrong uniform. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj882000 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ron Hextall with the Flyers; they introduced the black alternate in 1997-98, his 2nd last season. Pictures seem hard to come by, so I'm guessing he didn't start too many games in it. (On a semi-related note, I have an odd gripe: NHL teams sell a series of "old time hockey" shirts now, with an old player's name & number on the back (and fake fading, because of course); sort of a cheaper version of retro jerseys... The Flyers' old black jersey is the one they went with for that series: It's weird but not too bad for Hextall, given that he actually wore it a few times but... ...It doesn't fit at all for someone like Bobby Clarke.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
