I can't say I know of too many people who'd be happy if this became a thing. The Padres have the same shirt in brown so I'm guessing it's just a fashion thing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some of these caps look all kinds of awful so it lead me to believe the spring unis will be another version of that. But I do think your right, Ive seen some teams have fantasy camps and some of the unis havent been released yet so you might be on to something. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Each team chose the alternate logo they wanted us to use and we worked with them to bring each design to life in a way their players, coaches, and fans would appreciate”, Shanahan explained. ---------- Do they think we're dumb? By far, many of these are illegible garbage. How can they lie to our face? Can they say with a straight face that they brought some of these to life in a way we'd appreciate them? They're new and unique but that's as far as a compliment I will give them ----- "Custom caps and logos are on trend right now and that guided our thinking as we developed this collection”, said Shanahan. “We saw a unique opportunity to combine the Authentic Cap logos with alternate logos to create something that hasn’t been done before. We worked hand-in-hand with the teams and they were really excited about the way their logos came together.” ------ You made for a great laugh Tim Shanahan. If MLB thinks so lowly of It's fan bases tastes, I can't wait for the special edition holiday caps about to be announced. The same ones who brought illegible players weekend uniforms are bringing out all this new stuff. New Era has become a joke. Can Nike save them? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
