It's not actually on both sides, it's on the right sleeve of lefties and the left sleeve of righties to maximize exposure. Which I guess is better than being on both sides, but still a joke. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d also love if either the Mets or Yankees had a subway system themed City Connect uniform. An open stadium in Tampa for Baseball would be absolutely brutal in an area renowned for baking, high humidity temperatures for much of the year and frequent lightning storms. The new stadium (preferably in or near Ybor City and not built with Taxpayers money) would have to have a retractable roof. So does this mean that Arizona are going to keep the Teal trimmed white uniform as one of the 4? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing the teal home alts will become the primary home , while keeping the black alts, red alts, road grays, and city connect.

8BW14 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 My God, uniform ads are just absolutely disgusting. Is that really the best way to generate that ad revenue? Can’t we just put more crap on the walls or something? Hell, I’d be for more ads on the field if it meant the uniforms remained ad free (minus the makers mark). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I’d be for more ads on the field if it meant the uniforms remained ad free (minus the makers mark). I'd like that, too. But think of it like an advertiser: would you pay more to have your logo on the field, where it might only appear on certain camera angles, or on a jersey where you're guaranteed to see it for pretty much the entire game. Decisions like this come down to what someone's willing to pay for rather than what might be more aesthetically pleasing, unfortunately. As for the maker's mark, I'm pretty sure its placement is probably written into Nike's contract with the league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lord that’s larger than I thought they’d be, plus it’s on both sides which ruins sleeve logos, a defining feature of most baseball uniforms. The ads are bad already, but are the boxes around them really necessary? The Red Sox seem to be doing this as well with their MassMutual patches, and it just makes the overall look so much worse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't first-and-third base line ads become somewhat regular under Manfred's tenure? Selig wasn't perfect by any means, but at least he rejected a huge amount of ad creep on the field and his legacy will be better because of it. Manfred's job is to increase league revenues and protect the integrity of the game but there has to be a better way than this :censored:. The scary thing to ponder is what will happen after the Sinclair/streaming issues are resolved. 4 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I sure hope this is the case. It was always dumb that they had separate home and road "alts" that were essentially just their primary sets with some added turquoise trim. They should add turquoise to the rest of their uniforms and call it a day, though I'd prefer they just go back to purple, turquoise and copper. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the opponent doesnt have a colored top? Would they wear white? Obviously you can schedule around that, but still, this feels vile.
