The Phillies also wore grey in ST

The Dodgers blue jerseys are listed specifically as "ALTERNATE" in the style guide, whereas the Tigers and Yankees both fill their quotas with jerseys tagged "SPRING TRAINING"

Excellent! I just set you up for ad-free, let me know!

Yeah, it sucks, but the site is literally gasping for air -- the traffic has remained steady, but we're getting destroyed by scrapers, and the like, which has sent our server fees soaring; while that's happening, what we take in from ads has tanked. So, costs have tripled, and revenue has gone down while maintaining steady traffic. I pay a lot of money to keep this free site up for everyone; the ads allow that to continue. If you don't like the ads, you can sign up for an ad-free experience for $7 US per month (which is less than a quarter a day!). This helps pay the bills and gives you the ad-free experience you desire. Ad-Free experience available here: https://www.patreon.com/sportslogos

But they're okay to use "Game" for the cheap replicas, which are certainly not game.

In other 2024 baseball uniform news today, Nike gave us the lowdown on their new retail jersey options. For the first time in a while, there will be more than just the on-field authentic and replicas offered to fans, as they've added a third in-between option. The on-fields will be called the Vapor Premier Elite -- they are not yet available; the mid-tier (the only ones available to purchase right now) are the Vapor Premier Limited, and the cheapy replicas (also not yet available) are the Vapor Premier Game. Why aren't the game jerseys called "Game"? I don't know.

Here's your confirmed lineup of new City Connect uniforms coming in 2024 -- I do NOT know which team is being released in what order; this is presented alphabetically. I know that all nine will be released between Opening Day and the All-Star Break. Don't bother trying to get any details on the designs out of me because I don't know what they'll look like; they're guarding those pretty tightly! (Except for that one, you know the one) My story here: https://news.sportslogos.net/2024/02/13/2024-mlb-city-connect-teams-nikes-new-uniform-details-revealed/baseball/

I had just finished writing the story and waiting for the green light from MLB to hit publish when I saw his post, I just couldn't help but chuckle.

I am skeptical that this is an actual Nike Elite on-field jersey

The OHL's Peterborough Petes unveiled and then promptly wore these terribly uninspired all-black alternate uniforms tonight

Oh absolutely! I just wanted to be clear that there's no official acknowledgement of this from the team

The Texans can throw back to the Oilers, which we'd love, and it would give our kids 20 years from now an opportunity to throw back to the Texans... which future us would love.

I imagine it's more to get people's attention rather than to be used practically... at least, I hope that was the reasoning behind whoever pitched this on the conference call.

As far as I know, the team nor the ownership group ever went on the record saying that's why they used the orca in their logo, however, everyone naturally made that connection on their own (because, c'mon, it's obvious) Canucks GM Pat Quinn said at the unveiling back in June '97, "The killer whale is one of the most intelligent creatures in the world and embodies many of the qualities [we] value in [our] hockey team" ... "We are a proud Canadian city [and] our logo will show the world where we're from."
