Supply chain issues. The Saturday home uniform was used for the first time this season, yesterday. I’d expect the Saturday blue road uniform during the next Saturday road game.

Yes, most players won’t wear their ring in public regardless. They’re really big and can’t be comfortable to wear. While I understand @Cujo’s view on “2nd Place Rings,” MLB and the NFL have a long history of giving out rings to the championship runner up since the American League and National League once operated independently of each other as so did the NFL and AFL. To each their own. I’m still interested in seeing what gets released.

Georgia Football National Championship ring:

Yes, yes. You’ve shared similar sentiments before.

Astros 2021 AL Championship ring:

Georgia football received their national championship ring, but I can’t find a good picture of it.

The Lakers didn't have a white uniform to wear. Edit: @MJWalker45 had it first.

If you really are getting into debates with people about having a ring, can I ask how these debates get started? I just can’t see many people caring that much. If you work for the team, that kind of explains your ownership and that’s all you have to say.

I picked up the Rays 5950 ST hat. The mesh doesn’t bother me that much. I have a full head of dark hair so it all blends together with the dark navy mesh. Maybe blonde hair or a bald head would show through. The fit was right. I wouldn’t want this to become the norm or spread into the in game caps but for a potential one off it isn’t bad.

Is Cleveland contractually obligated to have the most unoriginal BP hat? Great chance to put the winged G logo on a hat. Swing and a miss.

The loss of the Kansas City script is a downgrade.

I think it goes back to when the NFL and AFL were two separate leagues. The ring still signified a league championship. Same for NL/AL rings in baseball. Some traditions continue.

Maybe the Chiefs AFC ring? Found this on Twitter.

I’ve heard that New Era does make NHL hats, but they are only sold at the team’s retail locations.

It’s hard to imagine MLB not wearing New Era caps, but Nike is a big enough player to take that fight on if they want. Nike used to make really nice fitted caps for their college baseball teams before they switched to the Aero style. All it would take is MLB asking for a New Era style from Nike and I’m sure it could be produced. Current MLB leadership doesn’t care about tradition. If Nike writes the biggest check, they’ll get the contract.

New Era has already released some fitted 5950 MLB hats with mesh backs. I understand that might not be some people’s preference, but I don’t think it’ll be that bad. My biggest hope is they return to legible logos on the BP hats. https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/st-louis-cardinals/st-louis-cardinals-new-era-team-on-field-replica-mesh-back-59fifty-fitted-hat-red/o-2387+t-69129987+p-25646737401+z-9-1832002351?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r9c0:po-27

The shanks on the 2002 Bucs ring were good for the time, and I would say are better than the 2021 ring. The shanks on the 2021 ring are so uninspired. Pair that with a ring face where the Bucs logo and Lombardi trophies are undersized, and the sabre handle gets lost in the trophy it’s a case of poor execution.

I had the same thought later. This Bucs Super Ring is the worst since…the last Bucs Super Bowl ring. I agree with the White Sox too. Jerry Reinsdorf let his wife design the Bulls championship rings, and most of them are good for the time and there’s some cohesion as the ring shanks are fairly similar. Her design’s simply didn’t hold up anymore by 2005.

That’s a very underwhelming Super Bowl ring. Compared to modern championship rings, it is bad.

Columbus Crew MLS Cup ring:

A look at the set:

Alabama Football National Championship ring:

The Rays AL championship ring

Detail explainer video: Overall a great looking ring in my opinion. Maybe even a bit restrained but in a good way. There might be another detail they didn’t mention. There are 6 diamonds split up by rows of sapphires. 3 above (or below) WORLD and 3 below CHAMPIONS. Could represent 6 championships won in LA or the 6 previous championships before 2020.
