See Red Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 You're allowed to wear alternates during the postseason? I thought there was a rule against it.And if there isn't a rule against it, why didn't the Red Sox wear their red jerseys for Lowes two starts? If I remember correctly, Lowe loves those jerseys and they wear them a lot when he pitches. If not Lowe, it was somebody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 actually, if you watched NLDS and NLCS, whenever the Astros were at home on a Saturday, they wore the white jersey's (no pinstripes) w/ red script, and Sunday home games they wore the brick colored home jerseys w/ sand script. Tonight is the first time they are wearing alts on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survival79 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 They're not too shabby. The Cardinals home uniforms have always been nice.

I think the Yankees- Red Sox were the only team not to wear an alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I try to remember more important things than what jersey a particular team wears.I'm sorry that after a year, things like that aren't fresh in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winghaz Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 The Cardinals have some of the classiest-looking uniforms in all of baseball.As for the Astros, I'm not so hot about them, although the brick alternate jerseys are cool.My problem with the Astros uniforms are the fonts. That font would be just fine if Houston was still called the Colt .45s. The font, whatever the name of it is, seems to sport a Western theme. It almost looks like a lasso.Granted, that is Houston and Houston is in Texas and you think of cowboys when you think of Texas. But the name of the team is Astros, and the font should better fit the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznit1083 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 The thing I hate about the Astros is the fact that they have about 37 alternates and home and away uniforms. It's a really nice scheme and I love some of the uniforms, but god, can you stick to something???That's why I appreciate the classic unis. One alt is fine, like the Sox and the Giants (when they still existed) or no alts at all like the Dodgers.But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I understand the fact that they have 2 brick alts, for home and away, but they need to choose between the plain and the pinstripes. It's kinda silly how they have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 the only difference between the two brick alts is the home says astros and the road says houston. I agree with lmu, maybe the should have the star on the home to differentiate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 The Cardinals looked classy, as always. The Astros looked like a mess. Too many alternates, ugly J Crew colors, and a scheme that makes absolutely no sense with their name.Once they decided not to change their name to "South Texas Railmen," they should have ditched the Railmen color scheme. The "Olde Weste" color scheme is incongruous at best. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Olde Weste" color scheme is incongruous at best. Amen to that, Gothamite.If I remember correctly, IronChef Shark did a concept a little while back that addressed this anachronism aspect of the name "Astros" and their unis. If I remember correctly, it was pretty good... It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
