SilverBullet1929 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It'll be kinda funny if the Rockies apply their new shade of purple to their all purple cap that they never wear anyways. I actually hope someone can verify this is if it actually gets done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really but at least those games don't count. Basically, to me, similar color vs similar color looks like a scrimmage and given the fact that teams have so many uniforms already and are always looking to sell more, seems they should be fine with each coming up with a white Spring Training jersey. One thing I think MLB should allow though is all white vs color over white pants. Not sure why color/white vs color/grey is ok but they aren't allows to wear color/white on the road. Odd.

Get rid of grey altogether and make teams wear colored tops on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the still technical white V grey for home V road. Even with colour V colour, the pants make it the same concept as all white V grey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine too. *** unpopular opinion alert *** But I wished some teams had "color rush" type uniforms once in a while. Like full black for the White Sox (with white socks), full yellow the A's, full tomato for the Indians, etc. *** bracing for full on hate in 3, 2, 1 *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Yanks and Tigers can get away with all white and the Cards, Cubs, and Royals can get away with powder, I'm in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said it isn't allowed? Colour-over-white on the road has been worn by the Cubs (as already noted), the Padres, the White Sox, the Rangers, and the Astros. For me the only one of these that worked was the White Sox. (Though I wish those collars had gone all the way around the neck.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Nice pic of the white sox;by the looks of the picture it looks like Wrigley Field but interleauge hadn't started so maybe an exhibition game.And kudos on the Astros pic.What was the difference between their home and road uniforms during that era.Was the road uniform a bit less white than the home uniform?Or was it grayish?

Preseason exhibition game between the two teams? I dunno any other teams in that era that would have had a brick backstop. And if memory serves me correctly, the only difference between the two was a white circle around the back number on the home. 3 minutes ago, daveindc said: Huh. That shade of purple seems to split the difference between old and new. Maybe just the material? I do like the shade, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Bolton Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Can't wait for the Marlins new ST caps to come out. I've collected all of them since 2013 (the 2012 version with the pointless piping was a joke.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
