Sport Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 When the Reds are batting they're wearing their regular all red batting helmets, which is also what they wear on all 81 road games instead of helmets that match the current road/former home cap. I don't know why I thought they'd go with a special black billed helmet for this one throwback game when they can't be arsed to do it for the half of the season when they play on the road, but very little this team does makes any sense so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always said that the Reds and Pirates need to bring it back. Should: Reds, Pirates Could: Orioles (Alt), White Sox (Alt), A's, Mariners (Was gonna put them under "Never", but saw pictures and they actually look pretty good), Marlins Never Again: Rays, Blue Jays, Indians, Royals, Twins, Angels, Rangers, Cubs, Rockies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my favorite historical Mets road jersey, but this quality is just sloppy. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

lahaye7 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I liked Reds and Giants throwbacks today, didn't see the M's ones but I lived through them the first time and loved them. Hate the BoSox ones (except the caps, they should use them on the road) I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 3 hours ago, insert name said: I and some others noticed the Mets script was pretty low. I didn't think so much "low" as much as it just looked disproportionately small. I wasn't around when the Mets wore those but I can't imagine that was the size of the script when they did. As for the Reds...I was around when they wore those regularly, of course, and honestly they looked perfectly in place to me. I preferred the Reds in vests rather than what they currently wear (not that their current set is bad, at all) if for no other reason than because they were the team that brought vests into the sport originally, so there's some historical cache' to them wearing those. Though the subject of vests has me thinking...it wasn't all that long ago that the Reds and Pirates wore them. The White Sox had a vest home alternate, so did the Indians, the Twins (that they wore about 3 times total), the Rangers wore vests regularly, the Delgado-era Blue Jays, Rays had vests...pretty much, the only vests that remain in the league are the Rockies' black alternates, so they kinda died out about 8 years ago, huh? Probably a minority opinion, but I always liked the vests, so that they're all-but gone does leave me a little bit sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Although they were never my thing and I don't want to see them return it was fun seeing the Reds in those uniforms again for the day. They felt oddly correct and familiar. Like an old pair of shoes you haven't worn in a while or seeing a friend you haven't been around in years and falling right back into it like you weren't apart.

Basketball tanktops were developed out of functionality and had been worn for, like, a hundred years by teams above junior high level. A shoe company trotted out sleeved jerseys a few years back to drum up sales. Just their presence is an affront to the sport. Of course, baseball vests have been around for probably 100 years, so they don't seem out of the ordinary to me. I agree that sleeved jerseys are ideal for most teams, but certain teams, like the Pirates and Reds, looked good to me wearing traditional vests. Nobody looks good in modern Majestic sleeveless jerseys, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally1912 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not many Red Sox turning back the clock to actual 1975-style hosiery. Every Giants player wore faux stirrups. Too bad they were the wrong color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packid Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Not sure if this is new, but the Astros wore their solid navy caps with their road uniforms today. It looked very sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the quality these were easily the worst grey uniforms in Mets history. Nothing I hate to see more than the same wordmark used on home and away uniforms, the "Mets" doesn't look right on the greys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting in the bleachers today at Wrigley during the game. From what I saw, the Mets looked great! Granted I did not see the front font. However after seeing this I find it amazing what happens when you see a TV broadcast. Those look really rough.

FinsUp1214 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Likely an unpopular opinion, but the Reds just looked..."right" today. May be nostalgia from my childhood speaking, but I've always felt the Reds belonged in vests (as do the Pirates). Granted, the modern vest cut isn't the ideal cut by any means (I'll take the 50's-60's cut every time), but I'll take it for what it is. Cut aside, I thought the Reds looked great. In other throwback news, it drives me crazy that the Angels are wearing the throwback with the Red Sox style numbers. They just don't look good on that uniform and are terribly out of place, like an ill-informed photoshop mistake or something. They really should have worn the block number version instead, or even the early 90's set to match up better era-wise with Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, weird that I'm at an age where a uniform I remember so well and watched so often is now old enough to be worn as a throwback. I love these jerseys and prefer them to the boring things they wear now. For some reason the black drop shadows seem less offensive on these than the current jerseys too, IDK why, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
