Reds have new bp hats for 2015

Two, to be exact.

One solid red and the other black/red. Both with the disembodied head of Mr Redlegs.

When will the Reds get a clue and get rid of the black for good? I didn't mind when it was limited to the drop shadow and road cap bill (although better off without those too), but the new prevalence of it in their BP regalia frightens me.

Pretty sure the BP hat in 1999 was solid black, with a red and white wishbone C.

Get with the times, man. The 2000s are upon us. By 2002 every MLB team will have black in its uniforms.

(I'm with you. As a Reds fan, I just roll my eyes.)

"If i have seen and felt a cool base jersey ?" holy , i got many aut. mlb coolbase jerseys , 4 Ranger jerseys (2 Hamilton, 2 Kinsler, *Do´h* , and that Texas flag is really heavy duty embroidered twill (:censored:ing beautiful i might add) i doubt that Blue Jay head is heavier, but i guess i will never seen it in person, not a Toronto fan (sorry Creamer)

BigBubba is correct. I own a Canada Day authentic from '12 and that Blue Jay head is heavy as hell. Heaviest damn patch in any jersey i've owned. If the Jays went to CoolBase, that would be a PITA to handle on the field.

Yup. That logo is just so heavy and big.

Holy crap, a jersey patch so heavy the players can´t handle it !? Man, we really need steroids back in baseball.

[Gothamite 23,661]

No, you've got it backwards.

Majestic is peddling a jersey so flimsy it can't stand up to having a patch sewn on it.

I've been in phone for the last couple days so perhaps I've msised it but has that been proven?

There's some precedent for it from the '60s, but they've taken it to ridiculous and absurd levels with the road caps and especially the road BP gear.

The Jays' switch had NOTHING to do with the patch. As was said at the time (and I remember them interviewing a couple of players about it too), the team went back to double knit at the players' request, because they didn't like the COOLBASE.

Oh god, he looks psychotic.

Also, can the Reds just get rid of the drop shadow? It's really annoying.

[JasonFromMiami 58]

Thanks for the info.......so a few players don´t like the jersey material, so they don´t use it ? the :censored: man ? There is not I in team, you will take it and like it.

Such wussies, what´s next , demanding jock straps with organic cotton insides ?

[Bouj 86]

About half the teams leave it up to the individual player what material they want the jersey in. The other half are either fully COOLBASE or they are the Jays. I posted the list in another thread, but I have the list on a piece of paper at work, so I can't reprint it here.

Then there are the anomalies, like Aaron Harang, who wore a doubleknit jersey for the all COOLBASE Braves this year. Cliff Lee did that when he was a Ranger, but he's gone with COOLBASE in Philly. I suspect (no confirmation) that Majestic doesn't produce the Phillies pinstripe-style jersey for anyone in doubleknit, so they couldn't produce it for Lee now. Majestic still produces plain white/red/grey/royal, so making one-offs for Harang and Lee wouldn't be a problem. Again, it's just a suspicion.
