It might be brutal for fans even in the front row to watch an unfamiliar sport with players on both opposing teams wearing white uniforms with no last names on the back. I think the vast majority of people at the game will be baseball fans. Based on the prices for the series, they better be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigbazah Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm actually ok with this move. I doubt the country that invented cricket will be rattled over two teams wearing white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The pinstripes are good enough to contrast against the Red Sox' whites.

AndrewMLind Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 If there’s any sport where it doesn’t matter what color opposing players wear, it’s baseball. They’re rarely in close proximity, and those who are have either a helmet or a glove. They’re also not trying to tackle someone on another team or pass to someone on their team who is not at a designated location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh if any sport can do it it’s baseball. Just because they can doesn’t mean they should! This is a travesty and nothing less. Have we no shame! What would Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle say about playing a game in London. And then catering our uniform standards that have been around for 150 years because England has to see the pinstripes! God forbid they saw New York across their chest. Does everything in life have to be compromised for the almighty dollar?? If England wanted to give a crap about baseball, they’d have given a crap about baseball. Nuts to all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 3 hours ago, bosrs1 said: Yes, lets go showcase our sport to a foreign country and have both teams wear uniforms that don't have the players names on them... that'll work. (to be fair that'd be a problem even if the Yankees wore their proper away unis for the game). The lack of names is a good thing, as the sport will be showing one of its greatest traditions. The lineups will be posted on the scoreboard; and every hitter will be identified as he comes to the plate. No one in the stadium will have any trouble figuring out who is who. 2 hours ago, zigbazah said: I doubt the country that invented cricket will be rattled over two teams wearing white. This is an excellent point! I would not be surprised if this was part of the reasoning for taking this decision. White-versus-white could look glorious, especially considering the fact that both games will start in sunlight (6pm and 3pm starts), and that the second game will be played entirely during the day. 17 minutes ago, DC in Da House w/o a Doubt said: What would Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle say about playing a game in London. Considering that both of these players played in Japan, the Babe with barnstorming teams in the 1930s, and Mantle with the Yankees in the 1950s, I have no doubt that both would be very proud to be part of presenting the game to a wider audience in yet another country.

Orioles should be primarily orange with black trim, and the Giants should be primarily black with orange trim. Any Orioles jersey with a black script gets a downvote from me. Yeah like I said, I think that jersey is wrong for the Orioles considering that's the Giants' thing. But I still think it's the best look the Orioles have had. Using that piping on the current homes and replacing the crappy Maryland patch with the bird would go a long way to improving the current set.

skip88 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Wow, the prices for jerseys are insane this year, now i don't even care about Nike taking over. They want $370 for the new blue St.Louis jersey. and the spring training jersey are also a joke. 332 for the new Nats and Astros spring training jersey. , 30 or 40 more than last year. Call me a cheap bastard, but i think over 250 or 300 is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip88 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Love how the new blue St Louis jersey is listed at at $266, then when you select a size the price jumps to $370..... and $444 for size 56 https://www.mlbshop.com/st-louis-cardinals/mens-st-louis-cardinals-majestic-light-blue-alternate-authentic-collection-flex-base-custom-jersey/t-36908821+p-7059562357762+z-9-3640338944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip88 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Wouldn't it have been better for the Sox to wear their red jerseys? I mean, they are the Red Sox, playing in Europe. They also use that jersey in Boston, right? They are bland yes, but would you not want to show the audience a bit of color, also since the Yankees obviously can't do that.
