But did it? The Ducks aren’t hurt by it (are arguably helped), so why should the Angels be? From the Angels fans I’ve heard from, Los Angeles Angels has gone over with fans about as well as “New York Dodgers” would have. I hope Nike only gives them Disneyland or “The OC”-themed uniforms as “City Connect” options. Force them into a bind!

tp49 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 At the very least they could have had the American League teams wear their road uniforms. Weird to me to see both leagues in their home sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Angels fans I’ve heard from, Los Angeles Angels has gone over with fans about as well as “New York Dodgers” would have. And I know several Angels fans in the Southland, including more than one in Orange County, who have a problem with Anaheim fans having a problem with “Los Angeles”. We haven’t come as far as we might have hoped. But as for the other, hockey isn’t baseball. They can all look the same from the outside, but the economics of one sport don’t necessarily have any bearing on another. Moreno found that sponsors weren’t willing to pay as much for deals with an “Anaheim” team as they were for “Los Angeles”. And the city of Anaheim wasn’t paying him enough to make up the difference. It was only ever a naming rights deal anyway. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltjets21 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Were these all star jerseys made for Atlanta and just kept for Denver? That would point to why they are navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird to me to see both leagues in their home sets. I honestly didn't even notice the AL players were in home unis. I think I was too busy being ecstatic no one was wearing the awful ASG uniforms. I know it's a pipe dream but I'm still holding out hope they ditch them last minute and everyone wears their regular uniforms tonight. Would be such a welcome surprise.

Now it does have a pretty strong business/logistics economy going for it, so there's that. But yeah...it's trying to come up a little bit from what I saw last time I was there. I never would have thought I'd see Orange Park mentioned on this site, having gone to high school in the area. Personally, I find Jacksonville to be quite a bit underrated, but that's mostly due to its proximity to the beach, rather than anything in the city itself. Riverside is pretty nice though, with a great art museum and independent movie theater. On 7/9/2021 at 9:58 PM, SpenserRM said: You could not pay me to go to Tallahassee. As someone who is currently studying at FSU, I don't blame you. There really isn't much there beyond the college campuses and the government buildings.

For as long as I've been paying attention they use the All-Star uniforms for the Home Run Derby. Thus far I have not seen the All-Star uniforms once the entire weekend. Is there, perhaps, an actual chance they have been ditched? It's the last day of the All-Star festivities and I haven't seen a trace of them anywhere. Seems odd to just suddenly break them out for the game and not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say... they are terrible, but they look 100% better than they did in the pictures. The red is a lot more vibrant. The colors are obviously Braves-inspired, but one could easily wave them off as being the colors of the league. A turd with glitter. Still a turd, but better than it could be. Given the last set had palm fronds, I'm guessing local flora is going to be a theme from now on, or at least that was the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNtwins3 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 To whoever raised the question, the AL is wearing matching navy pants with the jerseys. IMO, I'm more turned off by the jersey design than the monochrome uniforms. I would much rather have the regular uniforms for each team worn for the All Star Game, but I'm not opposed to the concept of monochrome colors in baseball (used in moderation) Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Bulldogs63 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Screw the league for allowing nike to change the aesthetic of the ASG. If ya wanna show off alts. Let the teams where their colored alts like in the 70s. This is just a miss. Even if it was still in Atlanta this would be a fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Man they should've just ditched ASG jerseys this year because this blows. No ones buying these anyway. I did notice players have stars on the back depending on how many times they've been an All-Star which is an interesting touch. This also doesn't look good.
