This was on eBay the other day:

According to a person at OT Sports in North Carolina, a bunch of these were made for a minor-league team.

To me, this looks like the colors of the Everett AquaSox. What do you all think?

looks like a f a k e fake fake fake

Duh. It's just that some minor-league baseball team has asked OT Sports to make a special-occasion jersey for them. I am guessing we'll see these on the field once this season. But I can't recall too many minor-league teams that are teal, gold, and black.

i know for a fact the Myrtle Beach Pelicans colors are teal,gold and black

Hmmm. That would make sense since OK Sports is in North Carolina.

These can be found in the Myrtle Beach Pelicans' pro shop for $95 each.

They were worn on 80s' Night.

Come to think of it, the jersey had the same font as last year's New Orleans Zephyrs' Astros clone of last year. Betcha OK Sports made these, too.

UPDATE.

OT Sports also made a set of jerseys for the Gateway Grizzlies of the Frontier League. They had "Time Warp Tuesdays" with an Astros knockoff for the 70s jersey:

OT seems to specialize in sublimated, one-off, charity jerseys. They've done a boatload of special occasion minor league hockey sweaters.

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. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Wow. Gotta tip your cap to the Square Root of One on this one.

I could handle one of those myself.

Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.

Preds & Avs.

Braves, Rays, & Dodgers.

Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals.

Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam.

Team Spirit + Laziness = Yay.

OK, so the University of South Alabama wore throwbacks against Auburn a couple of weeks ago.

You can still get your bids in (minimun $100) here.

These look very much like the jerseys that Majestic made a few years ago and plasted NBA logos on.

Preston, Idaho is wearing Rainbow Guts all year long:

I like the blue and silver.

Just wish the companies making these jerseys would do them right. The problem is that the white space at the top is too big. The number isn't meant to be partly in the white space and partly in the stripes. Va. Tech did the same thing with their rainbow knockoffs. The Astros, with the exception of the circle around the number in 1975, had the number all in the stripes. They've even done it wrong in some throwback games in recent years.

If you're gonna do a throwback or a throwback knockoff, do it right or don't do it at all. Attention to detail, attention to detail...

Holy thread necromancy powers, Batman!

... says a poster whose username is an anagram for r_noob.

It's a catch-all thread instead of having separate threads for Va Tech, West Michigan, and Preston High School.

Does that make sense?

That Preston set is interesting. Multi-tone blue...tequila sunrise...and ice cream man caps to top it off. Wow.
