mjd77 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I guess I'd rather see this than screwing with the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveindc Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 If the WNBA ever puts a team in Florida, they should be called the Flamingos and wear pink and black. I don't think pink could ever be a part of a men's pro team color scheme though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 They really overdo it. A pink ribbon, pink on the socks or cleats somewhere...that's fine. But I don't like it when it overpowers the uni. Learn from the NFL who greatly scaled down Pinktober after an avalanche of complaints I have a mother who's a breast cancer survivor and she sees it as weird and unnecessary.

Cujo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 No special jerseys -- not to mention, the hats and accessories didn't even match. MLB put virtually no effort into Mom's Day this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink was historically not a "girls" colour. If anything, the idea that pink is NOT a girls colour IS a thing of the past. I saw, I came, I left.

Well, most of those complaints were “you aren’t donating the money like you said you would.” Yes, the breast cancer promotion is weird and unnecessary. But that doesn’t mean the color shouldn’t ever be worn. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what the Marlins' original owner wanted them to be called and to look like until he was convinced otherwise by someone who told him teal was gonna be a popular color in the 90's.

SilverBullet1929 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I like that they kept the uniforms virtually untouched unlike past years... I didn't like this year's caps specifically but I get why they do the caps thing and I can live with them... the socks are whatever and I hate that the left sock and the right sock are different, that only works for the stars and stripes socks if at all... the pink undershirts I'm torn on as some look horrendous but some look fairly good in limited amounts with a few uniforms... the cleats and bats and other accessories like batting gloves, wrist bands, arm sleeves, and catcher's gear in pink? THAT is what I think looks best and I enjoy those. More of the pink accessories and less of tampering with the uniforms themselves PLEASE. I also like a few of the little pink touches around the ballparks like this gem on the Marlins' pitchers mound... So to sum it up I think this is ok... But this is too much...

And yet pro teams only wear it for occasions associated with women. You act as if I said something outrageous. Google image "girl clothing" or "baby girl clothing", and 80% of it is pink. Not the same for boys. Things haven't changed THAT much. If anything, i can see salmon worked into a color scheme. Hot pink, idk... 5 hours ago, SilverBullet1929 said: This is what the Marlins' original owner wanted them to be called and to look like until he was convinced otherwise by someone who told him teal was gonna be a popular color in the 90's. Interesting. I always remember the Marlins being that first team to really kick off the teal craze. But a nice salmon and black could've worked for the "Florida Flamingos".

You must have my "post history" confused with someone else's, because I've said nothing even close to those quotes about the name Portland Beavers. I remember saying it was goofy and lacked grace. And when I said "pro sports", I was referring to the big four. We already know about soccer. Those other teams you mentioned don't look all that great either, imo. I just don't think we'll see a team adopting pink in the near future because of how the color is viewed by SOCIETY. I could be wrong, which is why I opened up the dialog to see people's opinions. And to say that pink being associated with women is a thing of the past is a little over-the-top. Maybe it will change in the future, but it hasn't yet. On second thought, maybe @Old School Fool's Raiders might look good in a pink and black redesign for their move to Vegas. Let me google image pink Raiders to see what comes up and how it looks: I think it would look pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
