Gothamite Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 That's not actually surprising, baseball has been rolling out next year's stuff in the playoffs for decades.

Ray Lankford Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 What would really change though? The cut of the jersey and a logo on the chest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 They’ll probably be majestic jerseys simply rebadged. They’re not going to change cut / materials on players during the most important time of the year. They’ll just put the UA on the chest and remove the Majestic logo from the sleeve. That’s my guess. That’s also why these will be clllectors items. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

It’s the Kramer Portrait of baseball uniforms. Cruddy and unattractive, yet I detect a novelty in color scheme and wordmark solidity much like the maroon Phillies. But the collar. It's a pullover barely hanging onto relevance. Like the ketchup red Indians alternates. On 1/31/2018 at 8:23 AM, leopard88 said: Elaborate, please.

I understand the flexible movability, but the structure doesn't seem to keep even and straight. It just kinda looks weird when pics are snapped. I don't think Fredbird has the same issue. I just think it's a matter of construction. But I think we can all agree Pirate Parrot is much worse off than either.

Colorado Rockies added 2 new photos. 24 mins · Here’s a FIRST LOOK at the new scoreboard! 8,369 sq ft | 258% larger than the old Coors Field board | 784 60-inch televisions | 6.8 million LEDs | HD1080P | Uniquely Colorado Rockies shape | Speaker enhancements on the lower bowl I want to see an avalanche animation for home runs. That's gotta look amazing. My only issue is the shape of the boxes for team states doesn't seem to be built for the scoreboard shape. Feels like a lack of polish.

Retail got a mix of the old and the new. I have a Cardinals hat from that series that's wool, and a Tigers hat from that series that's the new poly. This was done mainly to push the old stock for full price before anyone realized it. The new on field caps offered to the players were made of the brand new poly material.

I don’t believe they would put their logo on someone else’s product. Look at the NBA with all the new Nike jerseys tearing, or the NHL where all the players complained about the material of the Edge 1.0 jerseys. 1. They're not going to debut brand new materials, cuts, whatever else, and use the freaking playoffs as the proving ground. 2. They're not going to debut new styles. 3. Majestic (under the Fanatics name) will be manufacturing UA-branded retail jerseys, including "authentics", so the same jerseys that the players are wearing will have the UA badge anyway and be made by the same people, so it's really no different. It's really not exactly "someone else's product".

SilverBullet1929 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Marlins will be unveiling a 25th anniversary logo on Tuesday, as well as details about what they'll do throughout the season to honor the anniversary. Great opportunity for Jeter to try some easy fan service. Despite what's gone on so far this offseason, long time fans would enjoy some throwbacks this season.

I know that the fanatics retail replicas are a done deal, just didn't think majestic/fanatics would do the authentics.

I remember getting the Tigers cap and being pretty unhappy because the black sweatband and tags looked cheap and the material felt weird. I've pulled a total 180 since and LOVE the US made poly caps now because it's far superior to the old wool caps. That Cardinals cap shrunk and hasn't fit me in years, while I still wear the Tigers cap every now and then.

UA is only actually making the on field stuff. Further evidence that these deals are no different than buying ad space on a jersey.
