Shroinke Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 While reading a past UniWatch article, I was reminded of when baseball did one of the more unique things I've seen from the four major leagues. It decided to have their players wear uniforms from the future (more specifically the year 2021).Anyway, much browsing turned up a little website that displayed many (if not all) the uniforms worn that day, so I thought I'd just post the link.Turn Ahead the Clock jerseysI don't know if this has been posted before (the search feature on the forums seems to not work for me), but here are some examples.They range from the mundane:To the downright wacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a fairly big TATC mod for MVP Baseball 2005 a while back, but I released it in an incomplete state because I simply couldn't find enough pictures of the uniforms......I would love having something to work from so I could release the uniforms I wasn't able to make...

fonz Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Really cool find. I don't even remember these jerseys, but I think they are pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Those uniforms were laughable. The robotic Cardinals? Who was the ad wizard that came up with that one.Does anyone remember what the White Sox one looked like? I think it was just a large Sox logo on the front, like the Royals and Marlins jerseys on that website. Anyone know anything else? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look great, but I'm pretty sure that all the teams had the names sideways, running up the left side of the jersey's back along the number.How many teams also did TATC caps? I know the Brewers did, and the Mets, but I don't know about any others. I'd presume clubs like the Mariners and Giants did, since they overhauled their color scheme, but I'm not positive.

Gothamite Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 No worries.Looking at Chris' site (where I should have gone in the first place!), I see that I misremembered the placement of names.

BBM Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I don't get it; uniform design and functinon has remained largely unchanged for the better part of a century... and they thought in 20 years every team would look beyond ridiculous and have catarracts?

Gothamite Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Beats me.My favorite TATC story comes courtesy of George Steinbrenner - when asked why the Yankees didn't wear their futuristic uniforms, he said simply "We did."

Discrim Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 funny thing about the Marlins jersey...I recall the names being above the numbers, like usual. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much impossible to do the names as they're supposed to be done, Gothamite (I've got modding experience for that game as well and can attest to this).
