I like some whimsical logo's, but don't need most of the league having them.

The Reds, Orioles (Tho the Ripken era bird I did really like as well) I do like and it suits them.

But then there's teams like the Blue Jays who best logo is when its just the regular bird head.

And to me this is easily the worst logo they had.

 

And yet, it was associated with (IMO) their best uniform set. For me 2001 was peak Blue Jays, uniform-wise.

Unpopular opinion: The Rangers need to drop the whole powder blue faux retro thing altogether and bring back the red alt.

Agree. I'd also have them get rid of the stupid points on the numbers, return to a standard block NOB font, fix the script "Rangers" and ditch the drop-shadows...but that's just me.

The Tigers have added Meijer as their jersey patch sponsor.

 

 

They had the opportunity to make a 4" x 4" blue patch with white lettering...and didn't take it?

Hey, Mass Mutual and Red $ox: you paying attention to this?

Orioles bird looks like he's got those spice eyes from Dune

Lose the patch, turn the baby blue white...there's your 1) black jersey or 2) road cap.

Looks like they wore an all black cap with the cartoon bird with the black jersey back on May 26, 2017.

Good use of that year's BP cap...on the road. Thanks for pointing it out.

I went to the Braves game last night and checked out the clubhouse store. Unfortunately the ads are on the jerseys sold at the ballpark (at least for the authentics, I don’t think they were on the replicas).

 

Meanwhile, I had just walked past the Quikrete sponsored jerseys while thinking to myself “man, that’s so f***ing ugly” when another customer started chatting up the sales rep about Quikrete. The rep got into the usual spiel about how they just partnered with Quikrete a couple weeks ago (he was just doing his job) and the customer was eating it up saying “oh wow, that’s so cool. I need a Quikrete jersey.” My eye roll could not have been any more obvious.

I've been an Orioles fan for a very long time. I was hoping they'd get humiliated tonight and that someone would go full Chris Sale on the CC set. The first thing happened. Hoping against Nike for the second to occur. First Friday night loss of the season for the Orioles. They were 6-0 on Fridays before pulling on the CCs. Ugh.

"I need a Quikrete jersey"

 

you should have said  *Yeah, and you also need a kick in the baseballs, with the quickness!*

They did it once back in 2019 with the Red Sox and Yankees. It has been postponed the last 3 seasons due to COVID and other stuff. I'm not sure if it's meant to be a yearly thing though.

Sounds like theres an agreement to play in 2023, 2024 and 2026.

+ 2025 In Paris

 

Quote

As Major League Baseball works on logistical hurdles in its plan to open the 2024 regular season in Seoul, South Korea, it is committed to playing games in Paris in ’25.

 

The Yankees and Red Sox are among the teams that have expressed a strong desire to play in Paris, which will host the first MLB games in continental Europe, according to a source familiar with the plan. They may be competing for one of the two coveted spots. It is unlikely MLB would schedule a Yankees–Red Sox series, according to the source, if only because those teams played the first London Series games in 2019.

 

No site has been selected for the Paris games. MLB is looking at soccer venues, which are not always easily converted to MLB specifications. For instance, before deciding on London Stadium for the London Series, MLB considered historic Wembley Stadium as the venue but found the maximum distance for the right field wall to be 280 feet from home plate. MLB rules require parks constructed since 1958 to have a minimum distance of 325 feet.

As part of the collective bargaining agreement signed last year, MLB and the Players Association agreed to play regular season games at multiple international sites each year of the five-year contract, through 2026. South Korea and France would join Mexico, Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom as countries to have hosted regular-season MLB games outside of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.

 

The tentative plan for next year is to open the season with the Dodgers and Padres playing in Seoul, as first reported by ESPN. The series has not been finalized because of “logistical issues,” according to the source. A plan for an MLB All-Star tour in South Korea after last season fell through over the summer. If the Dodgers-Padres series in Seoul cannot be finalized, MLB would consider opening the season in Tokyo, as it did in 2000, ’04, ’08, ’12 and ’19, though the teams picked to play in Japan could be different than the ones scheduled for Seoul.

 

This year, MLB is returning to London with the Cardinals playing the Cubs June 24 and 25. Another London Series is scheduled for 2024, with the Mets scheduled to play the Phillies. Games also are returning next season to Mexico City, where the Padres and Giants played last month. The Astros and Rockies are expected to play there in ’24.

 

In 2025, MLB plans games in Paris, Mexico City, Japan and possibly San Juan, Puerto Rico.

In 2026, games are tentatively scheduled for Mexico City, London and possibly San Juan. The World Baseball Classic returns in ’26, with sites to be determined.

 

A domestic special venue event, the Field of Dreams game in Dyersville, Iowa, is on hiatus because of renovations at the facility. The game could return in 2025 or ’26, according to a source familiar with the plans.

                     The Twin's new M hat is really growing on me. I didn't start paying attention to the Twins really until target field opened when I was 9, so I don't have the nostalgia for the m logo like a lot of people do. Honestly, I kinda like the new one more than the old one, even if that makes me a heretic.            

      Also  I am  once again  begging      someone ti FIStyping on mobile       this comment took6 minutes to type because I kept having to correct how much it kept :censored:ing up
