The Mojo Maniac

I think most teams try to avoid wearing black for day games, because of the heat. I think this is why the O's only wear black on Fridays, because it's pretty much the only day of the week that is always a night game. Something to consider about your Saturday black jersey suggestion. I like the idea of them bringing a black jersey back again, though. I have always had a soft spot for the 'SAN FRANCISCO' black alts they wore on the road in 2001-2002. Maybe it's just because that's what the Giants were wearing in the first big league game I ever attended way back when. But looking back, solid orange lettering and numbering would work so much better than all those crazy outlines.

Agreed. Two things for me though: 1) The white script on the gray road uni looks terrible. Needs to be changed to black. 2) I reeeeally hope they actually do wear the orange cap with the orange jerseys. The fact that the orange cap was nowhere to be seen at the unveiling is rather alarming to me.

I can't understand why this set is so universally hated. The only thing wrong with it IMO was the horrible number font. Maybe it's the fact that it was what replaced the iconic blue and orange scheme, which I do have to say is my favorite of theirs.

On the topic of the Sonics' uniforms, I actually think they were among the best in the NBA before the relocation, and certainly better than the Kemp/Payton era ones. Those unis were everything that was bad about '90s NBA unis. The big slanted wordmark, the insanely thick drop shadow around the wordmark in addition to all the outlining, plus they just had to awkwardly tack the Space needle onto the primary logo. Way too much going on. Probably second only to the Spurs '90s primary.

Care to elaborate? I respect that you have your own opinion, but is there any particular reason why you think they are terrible?

Contrasting panels were kind of cool at first: But I think they have gotten WAY out of hand lately: And as far as the stretchy jerseys go, I hate how they don't allow for full shoulder stripes (case in point: UCLA).

I always liked both of these: That said, ironically enough I hated the jerseys that were matched with both of them. The Pirates red sleeveless unis were especially atrocious (RFRS anyone?), and the Dodgers should never wear an alternate other than those gorgeous light blue Brooklyn throwbacks they currently use.

I hope you get drenched in the semen of 14 elephants, 6 horses, and maybe a woodchuck. Normally I would tell someone who posted this to grow up, but I have to admit I laughed hard at this. Especially considering it's about something as little (in the grand scheme of things) as black in the Mets' color scheme, as much as I also hate it.

For some reason I feel as if I'm in the minority when I say that I love baseball caps with contrasting front panels. It's strange because they seem to be back in style at the present time:
