If you're a pinstripe team, you should always be wearing pinstripes.  Having two pairs of pants, the mix-and-match, it dilutes the team’s identity.  

 

At least with pinstripe pants there was some continuity between the regular uniforms and the softball tops. 

I agree completely. Hate this move.

 

I suppose this means they are on the verge of getting rid of the pinstripes entirely.

You know what, I like it!

 

You gotta admit that pinstriped pants don’t mesh well with solid jerseys.

Is better than this:

I don’t think it’s diluting the brand or anything like that. It’s just making the alternate uniform look better (then again, making both Rockies alternates better is a tall task).

I doubt it.

The Rockies alts' would look better if they just went with "ROCKIES". Fewer letters and simple coloring look better in the TNR font across the front. The '95-99 road aways were the best away jerseys they've ever worn.

The Mets look pretty bad in the blue alt and the pinstripes. Headspoon piping flows...right into pinstripes? Ugh. 

 

I just hope the Rockies' pants have piping too. Plain white pants is just way too bland with colored alternates. 

 

 

 

OFF TOPIC...don't know if it's being discussed elsewhere, sorry if I missed it here...today is Paul's last day at ESPN. I think that sucks, and I'm no huge fan of the guy. He had a great run at ESPN. And either I've changed or Paul's changed recently (perhaps after his big decision last year)...but his content has been pretty on-point the last few months. Seems like fewer externalities and more logo stuff. 

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I don’t have to admit it, actually.  Because I don’t agree that first one is better than the second. ;) 

 

But if the problem really is that colored tops don’t work with the team’s main uniforms, then the answer is simple: don’t wear those colored tops.

So basically what the Cubs did after Carlos Zambrano left, where the blues haven't been worn at home in years.

I must say I generally agree on don't wear colored tops if your default uniform is pinstripes. 

 

However, the Mets look infinitely better without the pins. And those colored tops are gorgeous.

I have to disagree with you on this. The bottom picture looks better.

I don’t mind the Solid Top-Pinstripe Bottom combo but I prefer the top photo over the bottom. Are they at least gonna have a stripe on the side? Because if it’s just plain white pants, then it’s gonna look really boring especially with the pipeless purples.

The thing is the Rockies are both a Pinstripe and non Pinstripe wearing team. Albeit the home look is with pinstripes. I'm one that the Pinstripes should stay as I like them and actually wish they'd go back to pinstripes on the road as well.

All pinstripe wearing teams don’t wear pinstripes on the road. Yankees, Cubs, Phillies, White Sox, Mets, Rockies...
