MLB 2016 Changes

Lukas says it's something that non-uni-geeks would say "who cares?" about, but something that would be interesting to people like us.  So I doubt that it will be a change of colours or of logos.  

I will guess that it is something like the publishing of a uniform schedule for a team that has multiple variations, as opposed to the usual practice of leaving the choice to that day's starting pitcher.

I'm guessing it's the Mother Day hats (and other uniform accessories).  Pictures of the hats are on the New Era Cap boards.

 That would make the Lukas tease particularly lame. We've seen the mock-ups from the Giants and the Yankees hats awhile ago. I think Lukas even posted the Yankees hat. I hope that's not it.

Perhaps it's something Jackie Robinson Day related. Blue and white hats for all teams, Brooklyn Dodgers style?

This one actually makes absolute sense.

 

But that would not be something that non-uniform-obsessed people would say "who cares?" to.  Any fan would notice if his/her team were to wear hats of Dodger blue rather than of the normal team colour.

The D'Backs actually did this last week. They had a full breakdown of hat and jersey combos for their entire homestand

So are we all in agreement that the Indians red undershirts and socks with the home jerseys look great but that they should still have kept the red undershirts and socks with the navy alternates as well? I don't mind the navy under the road grays but I love the mid90s look and feel of the red undershirts with the home and navy jerseys. The Indians should look like a navy and red team... not a navy team with just red accents.

I know everyone was curious about the new Majestic Flex Base jerseys and specifically how they would look on pinstripe jerseys so I thought I would share. I purchased this Eric Young (he's now a first base coach for the Rox) jersey that was used during the home opener. The panels are a little over the top, specifically the tail panel but I don't think they affect the on-field product too much.

The tail panel in the first picture.

The new lighter name and numbers (same twill just kiss cut now) and the new plastic MLB logo in the second.

The side panel and how it interacts with the pinstripes in the third.

Minutes after looking at this picture I went and saw some pics of the White Sox playing at home... and I had a moment where my brain couldn't figure out what team I was looking at. I've always known the similarities between the Rockies and the White Sox home jerseys but man this was the first time I literally had to stop and think harder.

So Paul Lukas is saying that tomorrow a team will unveil something that's never been done before, does anyone around here know what that is and would care to give us a small hint?

Snow camouflage jerseys ? :lol:

 

 

 

:unsure:

I'm not sure I get the hate for the chromaflex patches. They look fantastic IMO. Embroidered patches are nice, but chromaflex looks so much sharper IMO. It also allows them to do so much more in terms of depth and color. They're MUCH richer and cleaner than the old embroidered patches. Here are a few of mine. You can see how the metallic really stands out, and that 2013 All Star game logo is particularly beautiful. The transparent orange and blue coloring really gives the logo depth that was previously impossible.

The Indians wore navy undershirts and socks with the navy jerseys on the road back in the mid-90s, so what they're doing this year (navy accessories on the road, red accessories at home) is actually right in line with their glory days.

Personally, I like it. The color balance of red socks/shirts with an all-navy hat always seemed off to me last year. I like the red accessories with the red-billed caps at home, though, so I'm glad to see that will stick this year.

I'm a Royals fan. I think the gold accented jerseys are beautiful. It is something I wish they had done a long time ago.

If they are doing this to have a year-long victory lap, I think it's overkill.

If they are doing this because of the response from the players and fans (which is what they say), I like it a lot.

Either way, I am happy to see what I think are really nice looking jerseys more often.
