OnWis97 4,735 Posted April 6 I should not be surprised but this is the first I've heard of this. Blech. The Red Sox in yellow and blue. The NBA's been doing this for a few years. It's bad. And so is this. But it's somehow just a bit worse in baseball, which is more tradition-oriented. This isn't going to be pretty... 19 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MJD7 3,400 Posted April 6 Oh dear ... Personally, I’d like it as a fashion jersey. I’m not sure how I feel about the Red Sox wearing it, though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 6,935 Posted April 6 Yellow and blue are the city and state colors. Lighter blue like this on the Boston flag. More of a royal is what the Marathon has always used. That said, the flags have never been a piece of the local culture the way they are in day Chicago or Portland or DC. If anything the Red Sox normal regular brand is a way bigger representation of the city. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't make it any less ing stupid though. An organization dumb enough to trade its best player in 60 years naturally is dumb enough to do this. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insert name 5,196 Posted April 6 YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK Nike throwing their dirty city jersey ideas on MLB. A yellow and blue Red Sox jersey that says nothing about the teams legacy other than the city's name is sure to get the kids' money. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScubaSteve 1,009 Posted April 6 We all have grown a little tired of the NBA trotting these out each season but clearly the MLB and NHL (with reverse retro) have been watching and seeing some serious opportunities to cash in. If the NFL does axe the one-helmet rule soon, you'll know exactly why 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tBBP 2,736 Posted April 6 See what I tried to tell y'all? I tried to warn folks...I been saying it for years People who keep talking about they want Nike to take over...this is what happens. And if MLB, the stiffest most traditional of the big leagues allows it, what hope is there for any other league? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
