Or, you know, have a third or fourth helmet. That said, huge fan of the home O's helmet with the blacks. As an equipment manager myself, I can vouch for the additional headache caused primarily by removing the original decals, then made worse by having to apply the new ones only for a single day, then immediately re-apply a new set of the original design.. It can become tedious.. BUT... there's a very simple, cost-effective, and efficient solution to this (and its what we do with our "special event" football helmet decals) - simply create a recolored version of the decal in the thin sticker/sign vinyl to the same specs as the original decal, and simply mask over the original with the thin vinyl.. Then there's no reapplication, saving time and money, and removal is as simple as saying "hey guys, make sure you pull the pink sticker pieces off of your helmets by tomorrow".. A black visor cover could be created for the Orioles to stick over their orange bills in order to limit their helmet count.. The possibilities are essentially endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Have the Brewers worn their new BiG "Milwaukee" jerseys for every game this season? I swear they're in that every time I see highlights.

Having gold trim on the uniform on Opening Day to celebrate a title is one thing. Creating a whole new alternate uniform is another. This is, frankly, a bit obnoxious. It will not , KC is the only team that have gold as a team color. They are excused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look surprisingly good. The white script looks really nice with the white logo on the cap. It really gives the whole set a very unique "pop". I'm a Marlins fan so I've learned to love all their jerseys but the more I watch the road grey the more I think it might be their best jersey, it just looks so sharp to me. And the white lettering used to throw me off but now, exactly as you mentioned, I love the pop it gives the look. Also, they're wearing it now more than ever, they didn't wear their black alternate the entire series with the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 First time I'd seen Houston's navy alt in action last night, and it still looks like garbage. The glorified BPness of it makes it look like they took BP for way too long, ran way too late, and couldn't change in time. I don't mind the idea of a navy alt, but I do mind amateur looking side panels. And maybe this is a super unpopular opinion, but they've really gotta let go of the whole tequila sunrise thing. Unless you put that pattern on a Phillies-esque thick sleeve cuff and pant stripe (maybe even the socks/stirrups), there's just no other good way in my opinion to make it look good on a baseball uniform. I get that it's their history and all, but it never looked good in the first place and hasn't looked good in any way they've tried it - BP or alt - since.

RodgersThat Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Astros fan here. I've seen the 'Stros navy alt's twice now. The orange hats and side panels make it look very amateur. I love the blue and orange comeback, but they're missing the boat with a few things. IMO, I don't like the bright orange alt on the road - it doesn't look good with grey pants. When they wear that orange alt at home, however, it really pops and looks great. I would like seeing the navy alt on the road, with a navy hat of course... And bring back the classic Shooting Star unis for a Sunday alternate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I agree that the "Dodgers" away uniforms are missing the piping on the sleeves but another team that's missing it are the Red Sox. I was glad they brought back the red lettering and red numbers but I always knew something was missing and I didn't realize it till now. It's missing the red piping on the sleeve. If they bring it back, it'll make the jersey complete. It's just the little things that I think will make some jerseys better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Can anyone confirm if the A's home and road caps are the same exact color? The shades of green always looked slightly different from one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Both hats are indeed the same color. It's the dark green polyester that New Era uses for the A's and even MiLB teams.
