That would be a good time for the Rockies to wear the throwbacks.

roxfan00 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Denver - As of now, the plan is to don the uniforms at some point during the Aug. 3-5 series in Milwaukee, where the Brewers will also be wearing a throwback uniform for the matchup. The details—like whether or not the club will don the green cap with the white stripes—are still being worked out, but the main detail, as we have learned, is that jersey itself is expected to look similar to the White Elephants' 1930 road uniform.

Pretty sure it was just a magazine cover. But they should definitely run with this as a throwback for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fair -- Expo 67 The team -- debuted in 1969 I know this because my parents went to Expo 67 and I looked at this many times as a kid. Ahh... I've never been good with dates. Well, I suppose if I remembered that I'd know the Expos were in the class of 69 with... the Padres? Jeez, this really is a blind spot for me. The only reason I know about Expo 67 at all is because in my Architecture History class we learned about Habitat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great, because then I might be able to get a low-crown version of one of those hats and just pretend it's the New Orleans Zephyrs.
