CubsFanBudMan Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Looks like they removed the drop shadow, enlarged the T, B and Y, and possibly thinned the green piping a bit. The lettering definitely looks thinner without the shadow. I'd have to see them more clearly, but I like them. I applaud the use of green and blue and the cutting back on black that started with the green cap last year.Aren't they supposed to have a slightly modified cap, too? Any chance Crawford has been wearing that, too? Need more pics from Japan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance Crawford has been wearing that, too? Need more pics from Japan...Based on some of the other photos I've looked at, it appears that the piping could possibly be one blue and one green stripe. As far as the cap Crawford was wearing, it appears to be a standard black Devil Rays cap.There are some more photos on the 2004 MLB Japan All-Star Series webpage.

TruColor Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Yeah...the striping goes Green-White-Blue.And their new home uniform is a slightly modifed version of their sleeveless alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royals Insider Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Pantone, Are the construction of the bp hats changing? Maybe the style is staying the same on most teams, but the material or build (low profile to high profile) is changing. The reason I ask is that they are at clearance price on many sites.

tmorss9 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I think I heard that all the Uniforms would be made by Majestic this year. Any truth to that? I know Reebok will now become the official shoe of MLB. "Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newmaniac Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 If you go to MLB.com, click in the photos section, select the Gallery for Nov 9 Game 4 of the Japan All Star Game. Click on the thumbnail at the far right and you'll see the new TB home unis.The main logo change is the Y has been extended across the logo and a devil ray has been added. The green looks lighter too and it's a sleeveless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCraven Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 And I do believe that the Phillies will remove their patches for 2005.

Maybe they'll go with those full time as homes next year and get rid of the one with the sleeves and no ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I don't see why everyone hates the new D-Rays unis. I actually really like them. They have a nice mix of modern and traditional, and the only thing I would like to see changed is adding a darker blue outline around everything. But, those actually do look pretty nice.

TruColor Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 All of the Devil Rays' colors are the same as they've been for 2005. Although, they are incorporating more of the Blue, and less of the Black.I'm not sure how a darker Blue would work - it's already too dark with the dark Green and Black. Three dark colors just don't work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royals Insider Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Pantone, did you ever find out anything about the construction of these hats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 The reason I ask is that they are at clearance price on many sites. Maybe now is offseason time. I observed discounted prices of, p.e., baseball gloves due to winter time.Besides, probably with the hockey lockout, some NHL jerseys will be more cheaper in December.

Cianfrocco Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I haven't heard anything about the BP hats changing. I know they haven't sold too well at a lot of places, so they might just be trying to clear some stock. And the question was asked earlier about Majestic, who is indeed making all of the authentic jerseys next year. A side note about that is that the prices at many places are likely to change. MLB wants there to be more of a difference between the replicas and authentics, so the replicas will actually come down a bit while the authentics will go up. At least that is the way we are doing it at the Mariners Team Store. The prices used to go 90-135, they will now be 80-155. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival79 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Whoa Whoa Whoa, am I seeing things! Is the M and P in Tampa combined into one letter?It sure is.
