On 6/24/2021 at 2:25 PM, FinsUp1214 said: Yep, and that’s really what this comes down to. Colorado isn’t to blame for any of this, as it looks like they were going to be used regardless of location. The fact that the MLB had planned to go with these at all - whether in Atlanta or elsewhere - is awful. Yeah, Colorado got pushed in front of a bus with this ASG as far as design goes.

Leagues should stand up for the rights of all Americans. but wasn’t the NBA ASG moved to Atlanta due to Covid and schedule conflicts with the NCAA Tournament in Indianapolis? I don’t remember it being politically charged. Forgive my mistake, I was remembering when they moved the Charlotte All-Star game and I had a brain fart and confused the two. My Bad.

AstroCree Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 21 hours ago, Brian E said: to take a break from the ASG awfulness... the mets played a teaser video at the ballpark on friday night for the return of the black jerseys. this is a small portion of the end. can't find the full version anywhere. i also don't see where it says they're back in july, but that's what the below tweet says, and what SNY's mets site (and subsequent yahoo aggregation) infer. so it looks like these will be back sooner than later: They used the BP jersey in that teaser rather than the actual jersey that featured blue piping.

Now that I see it's being worn in the game that takes it to a new level of bad. The one thing I always loved going way back to my childhood in the stone age was being able to see all the uniforms during player introductions at the ASG. Since that's now going away I have zero reason to watch unless I want to watch pitchers get strip searched on live tv. So thank you Rob Manfred for continuing to take the joy out of baseball. Agreed. Not only that, and most might disagree, but I always preferred when back in the 70's individual players from the same team even wore their personal choice of one of the team 's alternate unis (I'm especially looking at you Oakland and Pittsburgh).

GriffinM6 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Saw highlights of the Nats and Rays game tonight. Nats were wearing their white script jerseys. Have they been wearing them in the regular season this year? I know it was originally just supposed to be a spring training jersey only, but it's nice to see it being worn outside of Palm Beach.

All they need now is a red “Nationals” or “Washington” script jersey and it’s a top tier set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a pretty damn good set with a red "Nationals" script jersey. They really just need to dump the two white curly-W jerseys.

If that's intentional, that's incredible. That said, why do they feel the need to make the scripts and numbers on their navy jerseys different colors? That's never looked right to me ever since the first time I saw it... *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this -- the mesh BP jerseys are super trendy right now (possibly a big factor is that the Mitchell and Ness mesh BP jerseys are cheaper and lack the swoosh, but I don't want to speculate) - so it's possible, much like the original BFBS, the Mets are trying to sieze on what's trendy at this point.
