ThorSkaagi Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Man I just love Seattle's throwback for June 29th. Just the simple "S" and "Seattle" is so ELEGANT!!!Is that cap grey or is it just the lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just the lighting.Looks good - we learned earlier this year that New Era can't make cream-colored caps, so teams that want white caps need to wear white uniforms, not the very popular throwback cream.

CubsFanBudMan Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hadn't heard that. They used to be able to. I have a 2001 White Sox throwback that definitely seemed cream compared to the jersey it was paired with. I wonder if with the popularity of bright white baseball caps they dumped the old fabric.Or maybe it's a U.S. vs. China production thing. That was a long time ago.

Gothamite Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Could be either one - all I know is that the Brewers requested cream caps but the closest New Era could give them was white, and they all had to scramble at the last minute with navy, meaning that they weren't able to get enough to sell any.

Sodboy13 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 How times have changed. About 10 years ago, I bought a throwback Expos 5950, and the front panel was cream. The word was, at the time, that New Era couldn't produce the then-wool caps in pure white. Now that "the technology has advanced", they can't make cream caps, but they can do white ones.What I'm trying to get at here is, New Era is lazy as .

TheOldRoman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 What's funny is, they did a mismatch again this year against the Cardinals aswell, using the Alternate BP hat with the Throwbacks.That looks bad. Pinstripes should always be paired with solid-color caps.Hadn't heard that. They used to be able to. I have a 2001 White Sox throwback that definitely seemed cream compared to the jersey it was paired with. I wonder if with the popularity of bright white baseball caps they dumped the old fabric.Or maybe it's a U.S. vs. China production thing. That was a long time ago.Yep. In 2001, they wore cream hats with white jerseys. In 2006 for the 1906 throwbacks, they wore white hats with cream jerseys. As mentioned, New Era never used to be able to dye the wool white. However, I can't accept that they are unable to dye the new synethetic material cream. It's either laziness or incompetence on their parts.

Gothamite Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah, but we're talking about a company that takes all the disparate shades used by pro teams and distills them down to one red, one light navy, one midnight navy, etc. Agreed on the Brewers' bp caps - contrasting front panels are way too busy to be paired with pinstripes.

rmackman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 ESPN doesn't let you link their photos, but I wish the Padres went back to these full time. So much better than what they have now.http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/photos/_/name/sd/photoId/3031258/san-diego-padres "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

TheOldRoman Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I found an authentic sand Jake Peavy jersey on ebay a few weeks back for $25 shipped. Peavy is one of my favorite players, but I passed on it because I didn't know where or when I would have ever worn it. I will probably kick myself about that someday.Oh, and bring back the brown and yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmanc3po Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 The Pads' current set is a train wreck into a meteor on a giant puddle of spilled milk. Maybe they're strategically, subliminally making us hate it so much in order to convert any non-brown lovers remaining. My favorite is the 1980-83 Taco Bell goodness (got a cap and love it), but I really think they should trot out the original unis or something mighty close.

Bouj Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah, but we're talking about a company that takes all the disparate shades used by pro teams and distills them down to one red, one light navy, one midnight navy, etc.It's no different than Majestic's initial inability to produce COOLBASE in grey, and then their willingness to only produce one shade of grey. I expect more of companies that produce uniforms for major sports leagues. Majestic & New Era need to get their collective together. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Bmac Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Have the Cubs already worn their throwbacks?

pcgd Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Does anyone have a graphic of "Brewers" in all the different languages they've worn? I'd love to see them together and flat vs on the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't considered the wool vs. synthetic switch. That's as likely a reason as any I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
