kimball Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 This is the DUMBEST thing ever. Those white hats aren't even legible. I feel like this is MLB's answer to the NBA's All-Star Game wanting them to show off their shoe colors. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

WSU151 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I don't know if I'll be watching baseball or Spy vs. Spy. But seriously, "So clean" and infinite fireballs will be a response on Twitter like 80,000 times...which is a shame. The White Sox script is the only good part about any of this. The Marlins might set the record for most number of jerseys that are completely illegible in one season. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

StrongXStyle Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I like Mariners' script without the arches that's the only thing I took from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheo25 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 They'll be popular with gang members, which MLB seems to think is one of its prime target audiences these days. Downright shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 These will probably sell pretty well. They'll also be difficult to watch and a scorekeeper's nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The Players' Weekend has always given us awful uniforms. Not sure this is really any worse. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I don't like the players weekend gimmick, but at least I see the fashion cap/jersey value to last year's. Are people really going to but this crap (I suppose so...) Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Ark Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Maybe the White Sox will actually wear white socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGlowin Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 "Pitchers on teams wearing white will wear black caps to ensure umpires and batters have clear visibility of each pitch." So the rest of the team wears a white hat but the pitcher wears a black hat? This just gets worse. Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I . . . I can’t believe this. To reiterate what others have already said, how someone could’ve thought this was a good idea is beyond me. This is not how I would’ve wanted monochrome to be reintroduced into MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Who would possibly want to see this rarely seen matchup of mega teams: When instead we can see them look like every other game played that weekend. Outstanding idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Literally the only thing I like about these is the new “White Sox” script. I wonder if this is the team signaling a new alternate that uses that script in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 What made the Players Weekend promotion a treat over the past two seasons was that it was FUN. For as much as baseball has struggled with resistance to players showing joy on the field, at least for a weekend some of the shackles came off. Using nicknames, bright colors, unique scripts or cap logos, all that was able to allow those games to feel a little less serious and a little less grim. For 2019, baseball has seemingly stripped a good promotion of its unique character. Instead of fun, bright colors unique to each team we get everyone in black and white. A team or a few teams wearing all black or all white would have been ok but everyone doing it all at once robs the games of individuality. We don't even get unique jersey scripts since, except for the White Sox and Mariners, every team is wearing their regular jersey and cap designs. Its mind boggling that a promotion originally based on being light-hearted, whimsical, and quirky has pulled a complete 180 into grim sameness.
