BBTV Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 The Padres look like complete idiots wearing these stupid-dumb-moronic-absurd red caps with their sand-pinstriped road uniforms.  The Phillies caps look dumb too, but at least they're red so not noticeably dumb from a distance.

BBTV Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 and what's with all the catchers wearing navy chest protectors and navy/hot pink shin guards?

Old School Fool Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I really love how every alternate hat the Brewers wear has a proper batting helmet. They always go the extra mile. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always go the extra mile.  I would agree, if any of these special events were worth commemorating with a helmet decal.  Since they aren’t, I wish the Brewers wouldn’t amplify them.  Better to use their regular helmet logo.  Watching the Mets now, at least they look halfway-decent while batting.  No need to ruin that look too. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

BBTV Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 #5 on the Padres is playing with an actual light on the back of his cap. It’s like a blinking bike light or something. At the game, everyone’s talking about it. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Old School Fool Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Also, I want to point out the Brewers batting helmet has an error. It says MIL on the side while the actual New Era hat says MKE. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Wind of Doom Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hmm...  This is rather bizarre.  There are 15 red caps and 15 navy caps, but they're not playing each other.  I was sure that in the past when they had two color options then each game was one vs. the other.  It was jarring to watch the Mets and Yankees both in navy.  Even weirder is the choices of who got red and who got Navy.  Cleveland and Texas have red in their set and history but wore the navy caps against other navy teams!  Tampa Bay, San Diego, or either of Chicago/Detroit, could have gone for the dark option instead of red, the Rays and Detroit literally having navy caps the rest of the year!  It just doesn't make sense.  Given that Pittsburgh traded black for red, it's not like the teams are at all trying to keep close to their usual appearances.  Were there a bunch of last minute schedule changes?  Also, while this is all rather silly, I love the aesthetic touch of the Diamondbacks putting the field of stars in the left stripe of their logo.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Another weird one - the Angels' retail hats have ANA on the side (a rare Anaheim reference for the "not really LA, don't want to be Anaheim "Angels Baseball" team) but in true Arte style he didn't want the team wearing those, instead they wore 4th of July hats with the 60th Anniversary patch.  Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 If you took the logo off of the front, I'd have no idea what city ANA *USA* was.  Weird they didn't just go with LA.  Are they forcing three letters in there regardless? If so, does the Dodgers read LAX? That would be incomprehensibly dumb.
