WSU151 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 "the home team got to pick between white and black uniforms and the Dodgers opted for white." Are all teams choosing between white and black uniforms? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC985 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Anyone ever wonder if we’ll return to a time where the gimmicks go away? I have my doubts, but is it possible these events eventually fall on deaf ears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always suspected that fans don't really care about the gimmicks outside of throwbacks, which has given me some hope at times. Unfortunately Payers' Weekend is part of the CBA with the MLBPA so it's probably not going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they could do something a little more fun, like have someone work with the guys on each team to make a unique uniform. It might look like trash, but these players weekend jerseys will probably look like trash anyways...

The players are in their regular uniforms, with no patches. This is what I would like to see again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to indicate either of those games was played on a holiday or in the postseason. I'm certainly in favor of a patch to commemorate the latter, which is no different than bowl games.

BBTV Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 First time I even heard the word “bunting” was when they were putting it up in the Vet for the ‘93 playoffs. Do they even do that anymore? Most of today’s parks don’t gave a natural place for it.

Marlins93 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'm fine with patches, but I definitely think that most fans can do without the special uniforms/caps for Mothers/Fathers day, Memorial Day, and July 4th. I'm not sure what MLB's angle is for pushing those designs so heavily every year. Do fans even buy those? I've never seen them worn by a person ever.

Stu-BallsOmnicorp Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I've seen people like once or twice wear the 4th of July stars and stripes hats, but that's about it. I've never seen any of the other holiday styles worn though. Edit: I've actually seen someone wear the Twins players weekend hat from a couple years ago once too. It was the one with the state outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a blue moon, I'll see a person in a Brewers MURICA hat, but even that's rare. I think they only put them out for the segment of the market who are obsessive collectors and will buy anything that's worn on the field. Ironically, I would argue that fewer people are collectors in the first place because they won't stop trotting out new hats every few weeks. No one wants to feel obligated to drop at least $40 per month on some goofy hat that no one seriously wants to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the one with the state outline. The first year they did the 4th of July hats I picked one up and wore it constantly. It was nice to have something different and cool. It got tiresome fast. This year I picked up the military cap for the first time cause I liked the design. It's one of my go-to hats now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
