The only acceptable sponsor (aside from none, obviously) is Orioles-themed Mr. Boh

 

Natty Boh hasn't been brewed in Baltimore since the mid-90s.     With 90% of their national sales in Baltimore, they don't have the resource to pay for such a deal.  Kevin Plank, from Maryland, does.  How about an Under Armour sleeve patch on a Nike jersey?

The Orioles are still trying to fill one of their biggest sponsorship opportunities, its jersey patch sponsor. Close to half of the league’s team have jersey sponsors, which can come with hefty price tags. The New York Yankees currently have the largest jersey sponsor deal with Starr Insurance reportedly paying the team $25 million a year, according to Sportico. Brightman said the Orioles are currently talking to a number of brands about a jersey patch partnership.

“We are actively engaged in discussions about our jersey patch opportunity. A lot of those companies are locally based, but we are talking with a couple of national brands too,” Brightman said. “The company that secures that opp will be part of the fabric of the uniform and the franchise and will reap the benefits of our brand.”

An even more stupid name is "Phillies" which is a short name for "Philadelphias". In essence, the Southeast Pennsylvania ballclub is called the Philadelphia Philadelphias.

Now do the LA Angels.  

The O's 1954 giveaway

 

Also, it looks like they'll cave to the sponsored jersey patch trend with T Rowe Price

All the teams playing on Thanksgiving are wearing a jersey patch honoring John Madden.

Reminds me of what some teams do in the College World Series and it looks awkward and bad there too. 

Texas vs Arizona sounds more like college football.

Seeing the Bears logo on a helmet makes me wonder if the Ravens are also considering a change to the front facing mascot.   I've seen it used on their sideline gear for this season.   Yes, I know they won two Super Bowls with the current look, but I would prefer this.

The pants have the same grey camo stripe down the leg that the jerseys have.

Orioles - We're the " first team to design the inside of the uniform"   Hope you don't get hurt patting yourself on the back for that "accomplishment."    I do like the contrasting orange lettering and white numerals on the back of the jersey.  What could have been..

"Our palette is quirky.  Whether it's our iconic row homes, egg custard or skylite snoballs, steamed crabs, lemon sticks, or salt boxes, Fifi the poodle or pink flamingos, the Ravens or O's, our colors run deep here in Baltimore."

For years, Orioles fans wanted "Baltimore" on the road jersey, and the Angelos family finally relented in 2009.    Simple black and white design with grey trim and multicolors inside the collar and on the socks that no one will see.   Why are the block letters speckled?   As others have said, so much missed opportunity.

The Orioles have worn the orange jerseys once this year. It's a Saturday only jersey. The only real outlier on the schedule is last Saturday, when they didn't wear them at home. Otherwise, it's been a fairly standard run (I think Boston asks that the Orioles not wear orange when the Red Sox wear red, and 04-15 was JRD).

 

04-01-23: Orioles in black / Boston in red (R)

04-08-23: Orioles in orange / New York in gray (H)

04-15-13: Orioles in gray / Chicago in white (R) Jackie Robinson Day

04-22-13: Orioles in white / Detroit in gray (H)

 

 

On Fridays, they still wear the dumb O's cap with the upside down apostrophe.

Color leak or fashion jersey? (I hope the latter)

Picture posted by MASN on social media could be a potential look at the Orioles city connect set for a May unveiling

 

”Coming soon to a team store near you” was the caption

 

Charm City is pretty much a given with Baltimore.  In the same post, they have this hoodie with roses, but that has to be for the ladies and not part of the city connect

Seattle could be using the Space Needle in their design

When everyone was making fun of "Major Tuddy" saying that they put him in an old R-words jersey, I didn't realize that he's wearing the full R-words uniform - look at the pants!  Why in the world would they do this, when some portion of the fan base is already complaining that they should have just kept those uniforms and slapped "Commanders" on them anyway?

That "portion of the fanbase" are correct.  They should have kept that uniform over Snyder's BFBS idiocy.

I always loved that set, too. They could have done without they hem scripts, but that was a solid set that actually had unique, tangible character. 

 

 

Well there went my shot at nabbing one, then...

The Reverse Retros are now live on the NHL shop but apparently all they have are the Fanatics versions

 

The one Fanatics jersey I own is the previous Ducks RR and I don't mind it in itself, but I only got that instead of the Adidas version since there was no actual crest on it. Have they gotten any better?

 

EDIT: Adidas versions now up!

Got my Caps one this morning.  They were all sold in under a half an hour
