dirwuf Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 With Wood and Prior on the DL (Cubs starting pitchers get to pick the jersey color), the only time we get to see them in something other than blue is when Maddux is pitching,Now I like the blues as much as the next guy, but enough is enough!

FiddySicks Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Its like the Rockies in purple. Purple may be better than anything they have, but enough is enough.

bluemeanie Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 the Cubs' pinstripe home uniforms are classic and should be used more often.i do like the blue alts-- but in moderation... but i have a few pet peeves about them too:1) why can't they seem to match the cap color... the jerseys are clearly a shade lighter...2) i think they should go back to all white pants when wearing them-- similar to theirearly 80's road uniform setup (which had red and blue piping down the side) right now,with pinstrip bottoms, it looks a bit mismatched...__BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no97 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I too don't mind the blue alts. I however, love the pinstripes, and hate that they almost never wear them. It's a damn shame that against the BoSox, they are going to wear the pinstripes only once (Rusch tomorrow will wear the blue's as well). I just hope we don't see Blue alts for the Cubs vs. Red alts for the Sox tomorrow for ESPN Sunday Night Baseball...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for that.I feel like I've commented on this subject 100 times, but I think the Cubs should always wear the pinstripes at home and I prefer the blue on the road. I agree that's it's a little much to see the string of blue, but they've been winning, and baseball's a superstitious sport. If they win, I guess I don't care what they wear. But it bugs me to see those blue jerseys at home, especially when they did it in the 2003 playoffs.BTW, Maddux wore the blue on the road last week for the first time that I can remember. Glad he st8uck with pinstripes yesterday, though.(how about that homer?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Zero Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah, I'm all for colored alts, but this is overkill. I think there should be a rule that the home team chooses what they want to wear (home or alt). If they choose their normal uniforms, the visitors can choose colored. If they go with colored, then it's tough luck for the visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelfourThibault Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Granted, I hate the Cubs (GO CARDS!) but I can't stand their blue alternates. Personally, I like their road greys the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a growing trend that MLB should stop but I'm sure won't try to slow down much. Gotta sell those BP jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
