Hope the fauxback hat isn't paired with the throwback jersey...that'd be awkward. And if they are wearing this new fauxback...is the 70s fauxback gone? edit: Fanatics is selling a 70s fauxback with the 20th anniversary patch, so that's still around too. Fauxback needs a break this year IMO to commemorate the 20th Anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Let's not forget that the supposed 1998 cap never made the field in 1998 and didn't actually get worn in a game until it was worn as a throwback in like 2009 or 2010. It's the one cap that actually got worn as a throwback first, which makes no sense if you think about it. Also, the "1970's" Rays fauxback jersey(s) totally screws with the 20th anniversary like some crazy Back to the Future plot twist... how could the Rays be celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2018 if they have a jersey that they wore in the 70s? Emmett Brown probably went back in time and altered history and that's how we got to this mess lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think they have proved they "can" get the cap right, they just chose to go this route, for whatever reason. It's not like this was a mistake or a matter of not being able to get it accurate.

shaydre1019 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Would prefer navy or gold piping, but the hat is pretty dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent guy is gone before you know it. This is why I never buy a jersey with a player's name on it. Especially growing up an Indians fan in the 70's and 80's when our best players would get shipped off to New York or LA when we couldn't afford them anymore.

The gradient was way more original and good-looking than the Padres ripoff fauxback. I like the new faux-1998 cap, but I do worry that the navy might clash with the wordmark/numbers on the uniform. I guess you you could make the argument that black was pretty minimal on the lettering (compared to purple and the gradient). Still, it’ll be good to see it again.

In the replies, they note that these will be worn for the first two home games (against BAL), when they unveil the banner (home opener) and they get their rings (G2).

monkeypower Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Potentially hot take, I don't like this trend of the gold "World Series Champion" jerseys worn the following season and I really don't like the trend of wearing the champion sleeve patch all season.

SilverBullet1929 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Quote For those four games, along with select home and road games, the club will wear a newly designed navy blue retro cap that blends the original and current designs. This is from mlb.com, sounds like the cap will be worn with their current jerseys a few times as well. This is good! https://www.mlb.com/news/rays-will-celebrate-20th-anniversary-in-18/c-266033660 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Surprised this hasn't been brought up yet but the Royals Spring Training jersey will have an R instead of KC as the chest logo... I'm not a fan... From what I gathered looking at the rest of the Spring Training jerseys there are no other changes except the Marlins will now be wearing their orange jerseys for spring games instead of their black jerseys. An upgrade for them I think. The black ones are nice but the orange clearly fits the spring training vibe better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
