TBGKon Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I’ve noticed some college baseball teams have uniform elements inspired by MLB teams. It could be as simple as something like the Astros rainbow, but I’m thinking more like what the FIU Panthers did in the past with a nod to the Padres. I also recall seeing something from TCU that looked similar to the Blue Jays late 2000s era. Feel free to add any others you find. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandyDelphia Mike Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 When you say TCU, I thought you were going to mention the Twins cap logo borrowing Then there are the teams who mimic Cardinal-logo-on-bat stylings. 4 Quote NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Max Scherzer wore a Marlins inspired uniform in his time at Mizzou in the mid 2000s. They also had Pirates inspired hats and vests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 They seem to have moved away from this in recent years, but Purdue used to wear a Braves-style script and they also messed around with a black jersey inspired by the late 90s Padres 1 Quote A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo knows Dodgers inspiration Correct! Those pinstripe uniforms were often referred to as "Yankees pinstripes" by the team. They were replaced last year with a set that includes some more orange and a white hat, so the Yankee parallels are gone. The Bo look is reminiscent of the cream throwbacks the Tigers wore for many years but have since mothballed and haven't worn since 2018. The orange numbers were directly inspired by the Dodgers. Auburn has also worn a rather Twins-inspired "Tigers" wordmark back in 1997 and 1998. 1 Quote "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Akronite- Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 A lot of these are hilarious, thanks to all for sharing. Baffling that so many teams decided to borrow from the Padres aesthetic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 1 hour ago, insert name said: Orioles vibe from OSU. I mean sure if you consider any teams that happen to share the same colors. Only thing they remotely share is the panel hat but that’s likely coincidence being a fairly common thing in college ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 West Virginia used to have a similarly Yankees-like cap logo, though IIRC they did away with it somewhere around ten years ago.
