MilSox Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Man, the Brewers and Diamondbacks High-A affiliates need to swap identities. Take away the geographical identifiers, and how many people do you suppose would actually guess correctly which team belongs to which parent club? (And maybe not even then.)

Pretty nice overall, but not excited about the prospect of that collar on the navy pullover jersey becoming a regular thing. That collar is awful -- Also, how come the minor league teams get to shove the swoosh on the sleeve but the MLB teams need it front and center? Much less offensive on the sleeve.

coco1997 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 All this talk of the A’s changing color schemes is blasphemous. You don’t mess with one of the most iconic looks in baseball just because the team might change cities. If it was the Rays? Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much less offensive on the sleeve. The answer is brand exposure. Nike wants the Swoosh front-and-center in the league in which it will get TV exposure. To them, that exposure makes their brand more valuable. You don't get anywhere near that level of exposure at the minor league level, so it makes sense that there would be fewer restrictions on logo placement.

JayMac Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 My late brother proudly served in Afghanistan and I definitely support the troops but these are a spit in the face to anyone in the military. This is such an egregious move motivated solely by money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Quote Major League Baseball will donate its licensed royalties from the sale of Armed Forces Day On-Field Authentic Collection apparel to MLB Charities to support programs for service members, veterans and military families. How about you just don't produce this garish merchandise and give them the money directly instead of corporations doing a wrapping-paper fundraiser for adults. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The camo hats are okay are on their own but don't look great on the field. However they looked okay with the White Sox uniform. The truly terrible thing here is the fake stirrups. Come on man. I understand Stance wants to make a stirrup look for people to buy but if you have access to the actual stirrups, then you should probably wear the actual stirrups.

I just want to separate liking/disliking these uniforms from having anything to do with the troops or our country whatsoever. You can think this promotion is offensive and still be patriotic.

And yeah, I wish you could dislike these uniforms without people accusing you of hating America, or like them without being accused of supporting literally everything the military does nowadays. They're baseball uniforms, it's not that deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 It really shouldn’t be. Unfortunately, MLB has been a willing participant in the politicization of the military. All for a buck.

Yeah - we're on the same page. Let me re-phrase my original statement: The opinion of an individual within a specific category of people doesn't indicate the opinion of any other people within that specific category.

DCarp1231 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I feel pretty indifferent about the camo hats. However, I feel like a chest or sleeve patch would’ve done the celebration justice. At this point, it’s well justified to say these hats and any other specialty hats are purely a cash grab and carry a “feel like a player” shtick with them.

I think a lot of people will accuse MLB of not being patriotic and supporting the troops.

How is it a cash grab if it's going to charities and stuff? I believe none of this stuff has been for profit for the last several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the deal better and MLB can demand higher fees. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, it probably could still be dealt with in a better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
