HurricaneDavid Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 This picture of Koby Clemens caught my interest:What's with the flag? Is MLB bringing them back? Or just a leftover jersey from 2001? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 probably just a left over that was handed down to the minor leaguers. Houston's main BP jerseys are red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Surely a left over... I was checking the MLB page watching for some new 2006 jerseys and none of them had an US flag behind.But... it's not bad to bring back the US flag back (or Canadian flag in the Jays' jersey) in the jerseys when the guys will play ball in some national days like Vets' day, July 4th, etc. It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 All minor league jerseys still have the patch, even new jerseys that are not hand-downs. It was a decision made in 2002 by MILB. Their membership voted to keep the patch.The jersey that Clemens is wearing is his BP jersey from the Greenville (TN) Astros last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I hope it's an old jersey. Never liked that tacked-on flag patch. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Zero Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yep, I was right. Bush league all the way.... Bush league to support your nation? I think NOT!If Major League Baseball really wants the international feel, they should let players wear the flag of their nation on the back.

Gothamite Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yep, I was right. Bush league all the way.... Bush league to support your nation? I think NOT! Bush league to wear an oversize, off-the-rack patch slapped on the back of a uniform, further cluttering the jersey design.Yes, bush league. I stand by that.Not to mention confusing "wearing a patch" with "supporting one's nation".... The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

HurricaneDavid Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm not a fan of the flag on jerseys in general... but it's a MILLION times better than the ridiculous Red Cross logo they put on helmets last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? Jays and Expos wore US Flags after 9/11... Expos continued to wear US Flags on their jackets until they were moved to the US Capital, and the Jays continue to wear US Flags on their caps on all US holidays (including the last ever all-Canadian matchup, which was in Puerto Rico of all places) --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 But... it's not bad to bring back the US flag back (or Canadian flag in the Jays' jersey) in the jerseys when the guys will play ball in some national days like Vets' day, July 4th, etc. A kind guy told me in a PM that I made a mistake with Vet's day and Memorial day. So take out the Vets' day because it's a day away of a MLB calendar, read it as Memorial day.Thank you!
