OnWis97 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 2 hours ago, WSU151 said: Four ways the Angels ruin throwback night/weekend: 1. Red batting helmets...jfc Arte, spend $2,000 and buy navy helmets. 2. It’s a 70s look but the batterman is on the hats...this is a team choice, as plenty of pre-90s TBTC hats don’t have the batterman. 3. Pay a few bucks so the visiting team has throwbacks, too. 4. The last few years have been the same 70s uniforms. Mix it up, Arte..wear 60s, late 80s, 90s, etc. The TBTC uniforms worn in the 50th anniversary season were great. The Angels could use a Friday navy hat with red brim as an alt look. I thought they looked like the 1970s Red Sox...Blue helmet would have solved that problem. I think this is an unpopular opinion but the current Angels look is my favorite, by a lot. I like the dominance of the dark shade of ted; it sets them apart from teams like Cleveland and the Twins. I also prefer the silver (gray?) halo to the gold one.

I've always thought they should have given a nod to their history dating back to the early 1960s and used that cap from the beginning of the current uniforms. The red "A" on a red cap has never looked right to me. It just doesn't pop enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK but - this is an abomination: And this needs to hit the field of play as soon as possible: Maybe if the Rays embraced their lighter colors the Trop wouldn't feel as dreary on TV.

PrimalCookie Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 My dad, who usually couldn’t care less about uniforms, was gushing over the throwbacks last night. He couldn’t stop talking about how these were the jerseys the Reds wore when he was growing up, and how they should’ve kept them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, something that annoys me about the Angels’ uniforms: They have a “halo A” in “Angels” across the front and it’s the logo on the hat. Do we really need a halo A on the right sleeve AND one (in a roundel!) on the left sleeve? It’s overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it slightly differently. They aren't saying the uniforms are stopping them from winning, but rather recognizing that they aren't very successful while wearing them.
