The Imperfect Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Do these kind of match-ups piss anyone else off? Here I am, 3:43 ET, and ESPN is replaying St. Louis vs. Milwaukee. I saw the Cardinals reppin' their '82 set in honor of their World Series championship team, which is really cool of course, but then there's Milwaukee, one of the teams most notable for wearing their throwback uniforms, and they're just wearing their plain ole' navy road uniforms...I mean, what's up with that! Is Milwaukee not celebrating cause they lost the Series? Or do they just wanna look like jack-asses on national television? I mean come on! I hate when these kind of match-ups happen, just looks silly to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I thought the Brewers were supposed to be wearing throwbacks too?It does bug me when one team wears throwbacks and the other team just wears their regular uni, or even if 2 teams play each other whilst wearing throwbacks from different eras. Just seems lazy to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The Brew Crew wore their powder blue throwbacks on Saturday, against the Cards in white throwbacks.http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/photos?gameId=320804124&photoId=2299301#photo_2299301http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/photos?gameId=320804124&photoId=2299301#photo_2299303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 How do these throwbacks games work? Since this throwback game is part of the Cards' celebration, then do the Cards provide the funds to the Brewers to also wear throwbacks? If that's the case, then the Cards are to blame for this. And also, since they only gave the Brewers one set to wear, there was no way they could have worn it on Sunday. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no rule saying that the road team HAS to participate.And it doesn't matter if the Cards only gave the Brewers one set to wear. They could have chosen to wear them again Sunday. I'm almost 100% certain there is a washing machine available for the road team to use at Busch Stadium. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

jc... Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I would like the NFL to turn Thanksgiving weekend into a full on throwback weekend. And that is the ONLY week you are required and allowed to wear the throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Milwaukee not celebrating cause they lost the Series? Or do they just wanna look like jack-asses on national television? I mean come on! I hate when these kind of match-ups happen, just looks silly to me!I would not "blame" Milwaukee for this.On the first day, the Cards wore their white throwbacks and Milwaukee wore their powder blues. (Though they should have worn yellow-paneled hats; I think they were wearing those on the road in 1982, anyway). So they lazily just brought their Friday caps with for the day. Same with the helmets, which I thing should have been white-paneled.But on the second day, the Cards wore power blues. I guess that makes some sense if they really wanted to remind their home fans of that uniform. But Milwaukee would have had to either wear theirs again, which would have left us with powder blue vs. powder blue or they'd have had to wear their home throwbacks on the road in St. L, which I think would have been silly. If St. L really needed to do this with the powder blues, then I'd say the Brewers did the right thing and I cannot accuse them of sour grapes over losing that series.Overall, I can live with the fact that sometimes only one team is throwing back. That bothers me much less than inaccurate throwback designs, not using a throwback batting helmet, etc. So I'd have more complaints about the Brewers on Day 1 than on day 2. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

And the Texans can wear an alternate. I wasn't talking about just Thanksgiving day, but the whole weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when these kind of match-ups happen, just looks silly to me!If you think the Brewers organization would purposefully pass up a chance to remind its fans of that one time they made it to the fall classic, then you clearly don't know the Brewers organization I just don't see why it would've been so hard to communicate to where the Brewers could've just brought their throwback alts to STL with them.

cranium Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 As it was, game 3 featured two teams in road uniforms, which is rather lame but common when the powder blue throwback unis are worn by home teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
