Really, if any team has the "prestige" to pull it off, it's them. There's no reason to restrict the pinstripes to Bronx-only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I’m warming up to the whole Yankees road pinstripes talk, but there’s also something to be said for only seeing them at Yankee Stadium. That’s part of the experience. I get why they went that way with this one, though. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Ark Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The Reds have had such great uniforms throughout the years. Why are their current uniforms so dull and uninspiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see it happening because at some point everyone decided the current Yankee road uniforms are "untouchable" even though they're really not. The problem is at some point baseball decided no one dons road pinstripes anymore and no team seems to want to be the precedent setter. But I'll say that if it does eventually happen, the Yankees will jump on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveindc Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I must say, the flat finish helmets look clean and classy with the pinstripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I don't know when matte helmets became popular but they look fine to me. I don't mind the 3D logo some teams use, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigbazah Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The only thing the Yankees need to do is ditch the white outline (and possibly add gray heather texture) on their road uniform. I actually prefer the road uniform to be stripped down It looks strong and dignified to me. There's no need for pinstripes in this look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 5 hours ago, Around the Horn said: Woah, what's the story with that Mets cap there? While people tend to associate the pillbox cap with the Pittsburgh Pirates, because that team retained it for some time, several National League teams used it for at least a few games in 1976 in honour of the league's centennial. Amongst these teams were the Mets, the Cardinals, and the Phillies. The Phillies once brought the pillbox cap back for a throwback game. The National League All-Star team wore pillbox hats in the team photo and in pre-game shots and batting practice. And the N.L. umpires even wore a pillbox cap for a while that year. In a post-season tour of Japan by a team made up mostly of National Leaguers, pillbox caps were used not only by members of the teams already mentioned, but also by members of the Padres, Expos, and Reds. And, despite the fact that the cap was a National League promotion, American Leaguer Aurelio Lopez wore a Detroit Tigers pillbox cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like it would’ve taken a lot of effort. It'd take nearly as much effort as any other throwback, since they'd still need new jerseys to have the number moved up and the right patches applied (Technically the script may be a little different too) and maybe go with cream. The cap is technically different too. "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."

SFGiants58 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 On 6/28/2019 at 4:44 PM, Ferdinand Cesarano said: The overall aesthetic of the uniform was elegant, with the lowercase wordmark and the delicate lines of the number font. Those aspects were complemented beautifully by the thin sleeve stripes. By contrast, the racing stripe clashed badly with the uniform's overall look, the visual analogue of a tuba with a string quartet. Also, the racing stripes had royal blue and red touch. Part of what made the original set work was that red and royal never touched (outside of the cap panels). I’m also not sure that the Expos even need the wordmark under the insignia. As much as I hate the “M-blob,” it has all the brand recognition necessary to stand on its own. Also, I’m in favor of the Yankees using road pinstripes with either a plain block “New York” wordmark or the home chest insignia.

My reading of Appel’s book is that the pants matched. I think that’s another of the database errors that needs fixing. Quick, how many problems can you spot with this graphic, labeled “Home Uniform - 1949-pres”? I’ve got four, right off the bat. Hell, it’s not even right for 2019, much less 1949.
