Maybe I'm scarred by some of the atrocities Nike has put out in the NBA's City Edition program, but I'm a little afraid of what the Tigers are going to do. But they have been pretty adamant about maintaining a fairly traditional look over the years. Having said that, I'm also the guy who has hoped at times they'd add a road-only navy alternate top, something akin to an inverse of the regular home jersey. 4 hours ago, coco1997 said: I also always kinda liked the orange bill on the road hat for the Tigers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Marlins are rocking the blues again today, which means it isn't just a Sunday thing. That makes me happy. Still no sign of the Angels' red tops though, which they generally wear pretty regularly. Nice to see the A's in the kelly greens last night for 11 innings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Detroit's City Connect jersey is navy, I actually hope they pair it with matching pants. After all, there's a precedent for it: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also I was born in Cincy and as a kid my little sister had a toddler version of that cap!) 3 1 Quote | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrutigerAero Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I love white caps! And to my knowledge no one else has a pinstriped hat right now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Not new for the Braves, but I thought it was note worthy given the blue alternate changed. This is the first look at red alternate on the new template and it’ll stay in the wardrobe without any changes. It’s interesting they’ve played five games and all five have been in the road grays. Usually they tend to split usage between the grays and the navy blues. If they keep the same schedule as the last couple years, red are worn on Friday home games while the City Connects are used for Saturdays. Home whites for weekdays and Sundays.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I would cut off my pinky toe if the Braves could just rotate the regular home, regular grey road, bring back the "ivory" Sunday alternates, and wear the true 1974 throwbacks on a regular basis (replacing the CC slot on Saturday nights) The fact they had to shelve either for the sake of this Nike-fied current uniform suite is depressing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, I just think that in that one specific example, the tiger would be indiscernible without an outline since it's stripes would blend with the navy and the shape of the body might not be distinct enough. 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I love each of those uniforms, but this seems more like an organizational decision rather than something spearheaded by Nike. They can have 5 uniforms under the 4+1. All they’d have to do would be to shelve the red or navy (or both) and they could reintroduce either of those. But it seems like they’re content with their current alternates and feel the CC scratches that 1970s throwback itch enough to be satisfied. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, there's a precedent for it: Agreed. There should be more monochrome in baseball, depending on the base color. This would work fine (though I'd rather the socks match the cap and belt). I think most teams could get away with it. 5 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

The Eagles didn't have their green when they switched over to the Elite 51 Nike jerseys for over half a season. They wore white at home, then thier black alternates for majority of the season because Nike couldn't get the colors right. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
