rmackman Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I like the USA and I like the flag (although shouldn't it be on the left sleeve?), but I feel this jersey needs some piping on at least the sleeves like the Royals. It's just boring like this. How about pinstripes? No team in the WBC has pinstripes!Canada is a little boring too...And one final thought...why does Italy wear blue? Soccer, baseball, whatever they wear blue. However...blue is not in their flag. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 like Australia, Italy has national colours which don't feature on the flags, alot of countries are like that....New Zealand, and arhh ummm...ok bad example.....ok, why do your national colours have to be on your flag? ours is Blue, White and red because of our British past, that and we can't be bothered changing it even though it gets brought up at this time, every year.....yeh anbd those jerseys could do with a little touch-up, well maybe a redesign twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMMF Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Canada is a little boring too... I actually like the BP one better:Looking at the jerseys, Venezuela and Mexico are the only two with piping and it makes a world of difference, imo.

rmackman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Imagine if the USA took the Atlanta Braves uniforms, put the USA logo that the ice hockey team uses on the chest, add an American Flag on the left sleeve, and bingo...wonderful baseball jersey!Or take the USA hockey logo, and put it on a Yankees jersey.Or take the USA hockey logo, and put it on a Red Sox jersey.Any of those would look great!In fact, I'd say each country could model their uniforms after a major league team.USA - BravesCanada - RedsAustralia - A'sItaly - RoyalsPuerto Rico - PhilliesHow much better would all of this look?

steiny_ramone Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 they're all soooo generic! The USA jersey reminds me of the blue jays unis because it is completely blank except for the logo!Where's nike when you need em? just kidding facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Where's nike when you need em? Probably in an underground bunker in Oregon, plotting a way to ruin baseball uniforms. Something like horizontal pinstripes, or baseball-themed polka dots... "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...

Sodboy13 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 The Canada jersey looks like something I could score for $7.99 at Steve & Barry's.

BCBoy Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I also like the simplicity of these unis. I'm lovin' the Canadian's, and the "USA" is quite cool as well.Not a big fan of Australia's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Boy Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 These do look a little bland. I'd like to see how it looks when it is all together with the pants, stirrups, hats, etc. Maybe the uniform is more than the sum of its parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBear Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 The answer to why the flag is on the {"wrong") sleeve is in the Australia photo - they'll have a World Baseball Classic patch on the others, I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan is a fickle country when it comes to what thier national teams wear.Ive seen thier baseball teams in of course the navy and red, but theyve also used some gold trim on the numbers in the past as wellthe hockey team wears red and blackbasketball from what i gather wears simple red and whitethe soccer kits to me look like theyre some sort of cobalt blue or an almost purplish bluei also remember seeing thier volleyball team wearing black and yellow US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwings8831 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Have the away jersey came out yet because MLB.com only has home and practice jersey's. Also does anyone know if the away jersey's be gray or other colors like the practice jersey's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorss9 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I would prefer a flag shield patch (as some teams wore during WWII http://www.sportslogos.net/Site/logo.php?lo=1991 ) instead of an actual flag on the sleeve. As far as I know, the Flag should only be worn by military service people, police, or firefighters. I know its and exponential degree of nitpicking, but to me its just common flag courtesy.

There is precedent for the flag on a baseball jersey. American Legion baseball teams are required to wear the flag on their jerseys in any sanctioned competition, and have for many years. And they have to follow flag display ettiquitte on it too (reverse flag if on the right sleeve).And several college teams started wearing the flag patch post-9/11. Texas A&M, Baylor, and Nebraska baseball all still do, I think. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
