phutmasterflex Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I would love to see the Pirates try to reintroduce vests in the mlb.Please no. Yes, the Pirates are a team that look good in them, but it would deviate a bit from their current brand. And I don't want to see any team and every team start wearing vests again just because they can. We're already having enough of the camo/cream/stars-n-stripes overload.Which is why vests are refreshing to counter the overload. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 When I first saw the yellow "leak" I was pretty excited...of course that was incorrect and now we're getting something underwhelming...perhaps camo...probably like the Mets, Reds, Padres. But wait, doesn't that make me a communist since I think it's ridiculous to wear that? Anyway, as a franchise that finds new ways to underwhelm yearly, I wouldn't be surprised if they recycled their military appreciation jerseys (not the standard ones all teams wear on the holidays) from two and three seasons ago. It was desert camo, had their current wordmark, and a black hat/camo P. They were last worn 2/3 games in a series in May '13 (I was at those games so I know)...or they'll just recycle that style, but slap the giant "P" on the chest like the black jersey.

Gold Pinstripes Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Am I the only member of these boards who likes this Pirates hat from the past?Yes, that was from 1997-2000, then brought back briefly during the red vest jersey mistake. It was a sharp design, and strongly associated with the 1997 team which was a surprise contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming off back to back playoff years, I guess we'll just have to wait for another change later. Too many positive things happening with the franchise to get down about uniforms.

WSU151 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Am I the only member of these boards who likes this Pirates hat from the past?I like that hat. But they've gone away from red. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also a fan of the black hat with yellow bill which was used around 2003 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jim Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 No more vests, please.Besides, wouldn't that hurt jersey sales? Wouldn't most fans be hesitant to wear a vest jersey? I know I never bought one and never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'll be that odd man out who wants to see a handful of teams use alternate vests, but only if they are modeled after the vests of the 1960's and such. Limit it to throwback inspired alternates for teams like the Pirates, Cubs, or Reds.But that's just me. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warthog Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It's digital camo. The jersey is on the Pirates' web site. No disrespect to our military, but it's nothing exciting. I was hoping for a yellow alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
