Ray Lankford Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Besides the teams putting olive on their alt jerseys, these don't look that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroywen Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Beyond the fact that they're ugly as hell and completely disregard team colors, I would associate camo with active duty military, or perhaps recent veterans (i.e. Iraq and Afghanistan), not with those who lost their lives in war. Memorial Day is a day to recognize our war dead, with roots in the Civil War. The majority of those war dead never wore camo, and we certainly wouldn't associate camo with them. If you're going to pick a color scheme, go with red/white/blue (though I know they don't because that would infringe on their July 4th uniforms. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest23 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hideous in design, historically ignorant, and all around poor taste for the sake of commercialism. But then again this is perfect for the demographic that associates militarism with patriotism which is obviously who they are targeting here.

I just think that America is the best country in the world and all the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism."

C-Squared Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 In a stunning move, both Under Armour and Nike lost the MLB licensing bid to dhgate.com...

justin23iu Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I don’t even know if I can put in to words why exactly I hate this so much, but I’ll try. I went to the Cubs-Giants game last night, and part of the experience I love about going to games is seeing team colors pop, as odd as that might sound. With baseball being such a part of the fabric of America, it would actually feel more patriotic to see teams in their regular colors. It actually dampened the experience a little bit to have such a beautiful night on a holiday weekend and to see these teams in generic looking camo uniforms. Also, while I believe I’ve heard that money made from sales of these uniforms is donated to veteran charities, the commercialization of Memorial Day is gross, and these uniforms play into it.

Ben in LA Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Except for those teams using alts (dammit Angels), I like the overall look. It’s only for three days, geez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
