BadSeed84 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yea, the rockies are playing the phillies.And they are wearing their horrid black vests, with black sleeves.The purple sleeves with black vests were pretty bad, but this is just awful!The vest and sleeves should NEVER EVER be the same color.

LMU Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Observations:A-They wouldn't be as bad if they didn't have the shoulder piping. That just kills themB-Where the heck is the purple?C-What in the heck is the point of wearing a vest with the same color undershirt?D-The only acceptable vest colors are white and whatever road color (gray, khaki, etc).

See Red Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 along with most of colorado, i love these. They also wear them with purple sleeves sometimes that look really good also.

tp49 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 They look like the Marlins' black alts except without the sleeves (plus the piping). They would look much better if they had more purple and less silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here in CO...and I don't like 'em.I agree - what's the point of a vest if you wear the same color undershirt?Don't make no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've actually always wondered why this wasn't done MORE. One of the biggest reasons given for the sleeveless look is the comfort and range factor. So, this is basically just as iff they have a black alternate jerseys, but wanted the comfort that a sleeveless jersey gives. Of course, that's somewhat shot down with the shoulder piping, but still...I think it looks pretty good actually, anyways. The purple sleeves I'm iffy on.

winghaz Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 A team named Rockies should emphasize purple when purple is one of the colors.Black would make sense for the Black Hills, but not the Rockies. Black just doesn't make sense.Go more purple, Colorado. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I say, drop the armhole piping and bring back the purple undershirts. I really like that look.I'd also like to resume my lobbying for something I've wanted since day one of PNC Park: Pirates black alt vests with yellow undershirts. Sure would beat the crap out of their current pointless pinstripes.

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 looks like black overkill. they look like they are more fit to be a white sox alternate than a rockies alternate. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I think I just posted this in another thread, but I like the purple undershirts much better. However, after seeing this pic again, I realized that my argument in favor of the black-purple combo is often "the Rockies are a recent expansion team, so I think they deserve a pass for uniform experimentation." However, I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't take the same angle on this black-black monstrosity.So I am now in favor of them trying this. I think it's pointless, I think it's terrible compared to black-over-purple (which isn't perfect either), but there must be a reason they've never brought back the black-purple combo. Maybe it was outrage in Colorado.So why not? MLB can't all be blue-and-red, I guess.(And I always thought "rojo" meant red in Spanish... but I did a little quick non-scientific research -- i.e. Google -- and what do you know? Colorado does mean red, too, apparently.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I always thoguht for some reason the ROckies' vests looks... off (especially this one). I don't know why exactly, but it just loooks like a basketball jersey to me. Maybe it's the piping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Random thought.Colorado is Spanish for "red".It is kinda funny to see "Colorado" on black jerseys. I thought red was "rojo."EDIT: Never mind, brought up. I'm guessing Colorado means "reddish" ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
