Caught last inning+ of K-State vs Cal… Cal Bears look to have a change to batting helmets (and I think it’s an upgrade). The big C is now a yellow metallic decal rather than the 3D rubber decal. Solid look on the satin helmets.

They had dark endzones through 97; I don't think they had the helmet in them in the mid-90s. I'll see if I can find a picture. Once the Meadowlands/Giants Stadium took out the astroturf then the Jets started going with unfilled endzones I think...but that was with the 98-2018 wordmark.

I know you posted this over a month ago...if you watch Hot Stove on MLB Network somewhat regularly, you'll notice Harold and Matt V never really use "Los Angeles Angels" when talking about the team casually or on a side-bar analysis.. Harold played for the Angels for a year and Vasgersian was hired for a season or two by Arte in the recent past. They always say "the Angels" or something like "he'd be a good fit in Anaheim". Anaheim is usually the locator. They rarely, if ever, use the term "LA" when talking about the Angels...and mainly because have been around the game forever and know that LA = Dodgers and "LA Angels" just doesn't fit. I'm not a full on Arte hater - he has his shortcomings but he's not as awful as many internet fans want him to be - but it's always bizarre that he really sticks with Angels Baseball/LA Angels instead of just using Anaheim.

These pockets are in pretty much the same location as the new template.

“It is believed to be too late”…for what, a regular season seven weeks away? Nike has the resources to draw up new requirements quickly if MLBPA is really pissed off.

Not too much different...maybe a 1/2 inch or an inch lower than last year

Jets endzones were colored dark green in the 80s/90s

I think maybe they avoid "Replica" at the pro level. I noticed recently that most every college basketball jersey and shorts is labeled "Replica".

Did you know there's a huge website with all kinds of sports logos? I believe the address is www.sportslogos.net.

The numbers are a cool touch but kinda wish the NOB letters somehow matched the early unis, even in single layer.

The elongated horizontal bars in the E and the elongated bottom of the S of the old mark take away a lot of negative space. The old mark is better IMO

This is like saying 49ers fans in the Bay Area won’t be Warriors fans because they have the same colors as the Rams.

DeWitt is describing what we’re seeing on the jerseys today…chainstitching on a patch. I agree that MLB and Nike should not be CFCSing jersey templates

Cardinals’ president Bill DeWitt provided comments to Uniwatch in a December 2023 column: His response had a mix of good news and bad news: “We are maintaining the chain-stitching next year with the new Nike template — I had to fight hard to keep it. But the compromise was that it will need to be applied to a patch, which will then be applied to the uniform.”

I’m a bit surprised a maroon Phillies nostalgia-based hat is not (yet) part of the collection. They have a lot of maroon-based AC Nike gear every year. I like that gray Mets hat, it may be inspired by T7L stuff.

I tend to agree here - the jocktag has no signs of Nike; the league year doesn't turn over until mid-March so it's highly unusual for new jerseys to be unveiled before then.

The Colts created black helmets just from the use of black swooshes on the home/aways. Apparently any black accent can be that minimal.

Green numbers on black don’t look good at all either. White outlines will make it look like a MACtion jersey but will also help with legibility from more than eight feet away. And Ohio’s black jerseys with green numbers definitely look better with white outlines than without. I guarantee a white outline on the helmet like the 2022 alt helmets

Nothing official, but PJ Fleck is rumored to be a leading candidate to replace Chip Kelly at UCLA. PJ better not :censored: up UCLA’s damn-near-perfect uniforms.

Have two hunches: Orange crown with Mr Met Blue crown, white panel cap with orange/blue/orange stripes and a NY on top

Pretty sure it’s original teal. Far more green than their current blue. The original teal goes with the retro vibe of the most of the collection. Note, too, the silver in the logo (like original palette) instead of the current gray.

I assume the A’s wanted to show off more use of kelly green. All three 2024 hats so far this year are strong on kelly green (instead of forest). Edit: And the BP hats are down 25 minutes after being shared.

This is a good online retailer so take advantage of this preview before all of these are likely taken down today. https://www.shopjustsports.com/search?q=new+era+2024+batting+practice Based off this, I’m assuming Giants will wearing 1989 throwbacks at some point Looks like the Angels changed the order of their batterman logo to red/white/navy, now same as the Nationals.

Chicago winning the draft lottery was definitely pure luck amirite
