I know many of us here have advocated for a more desaturated "purple mountains majesty" shade so that it would be a little harder to shift into blue. I feel they got it right a few years back. No idea what happened this year besides the Nike/Fanatics takeover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Everything around us is getting crappier, meaner, dumber, and more expensive, and I think we're seeing that more than ever in baseball this year. Five years ago, the idea of teams just not having uniform stock would have been unthinkable. So too would have been "I dunno the Sacramento Athletics for a while I guess and then Las Vegas I hope maybe." Everything sucks so bad. 15 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it's not reserved for just one day out of the week. Marlins blue jerseys are for home day games (except for Opening day) so every Sunday but also any weekday day games. Home Friday games are the black alternate. Home Saturdays are the City Connect. Gray is obviously road with black as the road alternate. They tend to use gray for road night games and black for road day games but they don't always stick to the road jersey schedule for various reasons. They're very consistent with their home uniform schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s seeping everywhere around us and not just in sports. Quick bucks and cash grabs are becoming even more prominent, with more buzzwords being thrown in. It’s not just nostalgia either! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In return you get whatever the garbage they're releasing + the new yellow Saturday alternates... What yellow Saturday alternates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does this mean the blue jerseys won't be worn on the road or at night at all? That would be disappointing. They would really pop under. the lights. They did wear black on the road last Sunday. I hate when teams limit their uniform usage like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right obviously unless they deviate from their schedule but the Marlins have been very consistent with their schedule for several seasons now.

David Ortiz has worn that jersey before, and I’m sure adding on to a product line that’s already in production is 10x easier that starting a new product line.

No, he has in fact never worn a Nike jersey. And these retired player jerseys should be made by Michell and Ness and no one else. But hey look, now you can also get that Ortiz jersey with the ad patch on...... remember that time David wore the Red Sox jersey with ad patch on it? good times.... good times . https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/david-ortiz-boston-red-sox-nike-road-elite-player-jersey-gray/o-1221+t-70667442+p-7966567744724+z-9-700191826?_ref=p-SRP:m-GRID:i-r0c0:po-0 only $415 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good column today detailing this pivot by companies from planned obsolescence to active consumer hostility. More and more companies are now waving it in our faces with "yeah, our product is worse now, what are YOU gonna do about it" and having it happen in something as familiar and comforting as baseball (and not just on the uniform front, either) strikes a nerve in a way the tech overlords' bullcrap or constantly shrinking ice cream cartons doesn't, and it also makes consumers more aware of the increasing frequency at which we are being rawdogged. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/04/roku-tv-ads-patent/678041/?gift=bQgJMMVzeo8RHHcE1_KM0Y7O5mArBWf5kSkOx4yHpVw&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share 1 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

Five years ago, we had the Chargers playing at a 27,000-seat soccer stadium in Carson, waiting for Kroenke to build his new stadium so they could mooch off it for $1 rent. Basically, blame Dean Spanos. The A's are just following his example. 2 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
