leopard88 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The piping on the Expos jerseys looks way too thick.

lahaye7 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm sure I'm way behind here, but these all star event uniforms look atrocious. I thought vest/ sleeveless went out of style 10 years ago. I see all the Future's players wearing gray/navy/ red undershirts. Just give us the what Quillz said. I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcon_731 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 no idea why no team has adopted powder blues for away uni's. greys are just getting old, and definitely those blues would be a breath of fresh hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins93 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I have a feeling that most casual fans (or those who aren't terribly invested in sports apparel as a hobby) would prefer that the players wear their "normal" caps and jerseys during the All Star Game and Home Run Derby. Since MLB/Majestic has gone the gimmicky route, very few of the design concepts have been worth getting remotely excited about. I really can't imagine them generating much revenue from the merchandise sales, but maybe I'm underestimating the market for that kind of gear.

They killed that tradition the day they started using the stupid hats. Hats are arguably the most recognizable part of a baseball uniform. Save the ASG themed hats for BP/HR Derby and preferably with league logos instead of team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ASG caps I ever bothered to buy were back in 2014 when everything was white-paneled. I bought a Blue Jays cap since, at the time, that was the only way the Blue Jays were wearing a white-paneled cap with their new look. Of course about a season later they brought back a white-paneled cap as an alternate (which I assume they still wear on occasion). That was one of the few times ASG caps were actually fine for everyday looks. I think I got an Angels one, too, because they seem like another team that could pull off the look.

Because "tradition" seems to be the only reason. Even though in the very early days of baseball, teams wore pinstripes and colored pants on the road. I said in another thread on the matter that if powder blue had always been the historic standard, then teams wearing gray on the road would probably be seen as a gimmick the way powder blue is. Of course, gray is neutral like white is, so you could argue every team can pull off gray, while not every team can pull off powder blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, gray is neutral like white is, so you could argue every team can pull off gray, while not every team can pull off powder blue. This. Gray is a color that works with every single uniform in baseball - it's completely neutral. Powder blue is not. Hence why there's a misconception that powder blue was once a Phillies color, or that it was a Royals color (to the point that they revived powder blue as an alternate home uniform). Also, they frankly look like hospital scrubs: It's a terrible color for a sports uniform when done head-to-toe. Fine as a top paired with white pants, but the head to toe look belongs in a hospital, not on a ballfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I liked seeing the Home Run Derby participants in team jerseys this year. Made it more fun by seeing all the players show team pride. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 So are vests making a comeback in baseball? I don't mind vests, but I gotta say this looks a little sloppy with players wearing whatever they want underneath. There should still be a little uniformity in that sense: every player needs to wear x-color underneath. Also, the grey t-shirt look underneath looks pretty bush league.

Most of the players don't care, none of the teams want their pitchers pitching in it, and it's just a 4-day period without anything to watch. The rosters are barely legitimate with the silly voting process. I don't disagree but I think I still watch it because it's still a fun exhibition of a bunch of really good players (at the least) and I think it's possible to watch it without taking it too seriously. It's just for show so I'm gonna watch it just as a show without over thinking the voting process and who really cares or doesn't care. I would imagine that's why a lot of people still watch it. It doesn't have to be dead serious and super legitimate for it to entertain me once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC985 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I don’t think this is an uncommon experience, but the MLB All-Star Game, as a kid that grew up without cable, was one of the few times I got to see the different uniforms and caps on TV. The player introductions is still my favorite part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight I'm actually gonna have my son sit down and watch the intros so he can see the uniforms and put faces to some of the players names he's heard from me in passing. I will not require him to watch anything after the intros though. Not sure exactly what that says but I think many here would think the same way.

I dont disagree but certain teams could pull off or have done the powder blues in the past. All within reason, it would interesting to see. Wouldnt want to see the chicago white sox in blues but the blue jays or mets would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The only time where powder blue looked OK for me was when the Blue Jays did it, because they made light blue (well, turquoise-ish according to TruColor) a team color. Even then, the 1989-96/2012-present grays are a better look. The Royals one looked dreadful because there was no royal on the design outside of the striping, while the Phillies simply looked better with grey jerseys. I'd love for the Phillies to do the maroon/powder color scheme, provided that they use powder as sparingly as the use royal now and don't use pastel blue pants. Both the Royals and Brewers (royal/yellow or navy/yellow-gold) look good with powder as an accent or as a jersey base color, but the powder blue pants is a step too far. I'd much rather teams have changed up their color schemes whole-cloth in the 1960s/70s, rather than lightening some colors/redistributing shades/adding powder blue road uniforms.

Mitch B Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The stars on the ASG caps look appropriate for the 2 Texas teams. I also think the cap piping looks good with the Asros uniform.

BC985 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Take off the stars, patch, and seam striping and make this the Braves away cap. Huge upgrade over their current Yankees-ish model. Better yet just make the home cap full time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
