grmuckrakers Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hey guys,I'm working on a column about baseball teams wearing vests. Trying to make a list. Here's what I have, let me know if you think there are any more.Also, what do you guys think about the vests? Good, bad?Angels (alt)Devil Rays (alt)Indians (alt)Rangers (alt)RoyalsD-Backs (alt)PiratesRedsRockies (alt)White Sox have the faux vests with the attached sleeves, right?Marlins, who started the trend, abandoned them, right?Personally, I like when they look different than the team's regular uniform. The Angels, for instance, should change their design because it's just the regular jersey without sleeves, so what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuse2000 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Actually, the Reds home jersey was sleeveless the same year the Marlins debuted their vested alternate. So...they actually both started the trend.

jkrdevil Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I like vest. It's a good way to add a bit of color to the uniform while keeping the uniform traditional. I belive the Reds started the trend when they cut their sleeves in 97. The next year them and a other teams officially reintroduced the vest.

jWilson4mvp Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I ike the Pirates vests as opposed to a normal jersey.And I like how the Angels made a vest by using their normal jerseys. I think the vest looks cool.If only he Pirates wore gold undershirts Rah rah rah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 the Reds and Marlins had sleeveless vests in 93, and in both cases they were only worn at home. the Reds only wore the capsleeves on the road that year (97) cus Deion wanted em.and I was thinkin last night about the Angels' old uniforms (their last ones as the California Angels)...along with their faux vests worn for most of their games, I remembered they had a third fake vest...navy with light blue sleeves that had the number on the left sleeve, a la the Phillies.

epper Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 The Pirates and White Sox look awesome with vests.The Angels and Royals look pretty good in sleeveless vests.The Reds, D-Backs, D-Rays, Indians, and Rangers shouldn't use vests.The Rockies' vests look absolutely atrocious.

The_Admiral Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Nobody looks good in vests. Conversely, basketball players don't look good in t-shirts under the jerseys. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Nobody looks good in vests. Conversely, basketball players don't look good in t-shirts under the jerseys. Second that, TCR.But it looks like it's having a revival, which is not good. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Zero Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Y'all may not like them, but the vest for the Rangers is welcome here in Arlington. I like the change, in fact, I have the vest here at home, but I wear red under instead of blue. It makes it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
