  1. And so it begins... The Nationals and Astros have two of the more successful City Connects. My theory is, Nike is trying to maximize its profit by rolling out a new uniform. Who wants to bet the cherry blossom and space city replacements are nowhere near as popular as their predecessor?
  2. I spoke the leak into existence.
  3. I am not sure how St. Louis does it, but it is the town of NO LEAKS. The St. Louis City away kit failed to leak and now the Cardinals City Connect is not leaking.
  4. My biggest takeaway is Nike received negative feedback in 2022 and blew it off. While money talks, and I do not believe leagues will stop contracting with Nike, it does not make them appear very league or player friendly.
  5. Won’t happen. You can’t sell youth gear with the word cigar on it.
  6. For a sport that is often criticized for not doing enough to promote its players and teams, the people running the league make a lot of backward decisions. Instead of marketing our teams, and their players, lets make everyone wear the same uniform for the all-star game and wipe out all identifying marks. For our next trick, we should alter the uniform in a way that shrinks the players' names and makes the sport a complete laughingstock in public opinion. MLB's demise will be blamed on a lack of interest, but there will be other contributing factors. We are seeing them in real-time.
  7. I am probably getting way ahead of myself here, and I have nothing to back this up, but if you move the player name and number down by pushing down the MLB logo you have created a big space to add an advertisement patch and would only have to remove the MLB logo to accommodate it.
  8. I am still hopeful that Nike will fix this for 2025. You might remember when they got the NBA contract, the uniforms would tear like a sheet of paper. It was a bad look and Nike fixed it. If the players are mocking the uniforms, the fans have/will follow. That is not good business for Nike.
  9. Spring Training caps and regular season BP caps? Not to Mention the clubhouse caps and most teams having 2-3 AC caps. Merchandise fatigue anyone? New Era is becoming to MLB what Nike is to the NBA.
  10. Agree to disagree I guess. I really like that Angels hat myself. I think the all red hat with a red cardinal is too much. Fortunately the Springfield Cardinals have a nice Saturday cap that is close to what I have in mind.
  11. Not only is that Cards hat a retread, it would look way better with a navy brim and squatchee
  12. Maybe they will have a home BP hat and a road BP hat. While that might be overkill, it has happened before.
