Gothamite Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I considered posting this on the Spring Training thread, but it might be too off-topic.The Brewers seem to be expanding their Friday on-field retro gear. Good thing, too - nothing I hate more than a throwback uniform topped off by a modern helmet or jacket. If you're going to do it, go all the way.They now have warm-up fleeces and jackets in the classic colors and logo:I don't think they wore either of these last year - they certainly didn't sell them last year.Combine them with the throwback BP jerseys that they wore last year, and we're nearing a complete set for the Friday games.The only thing we haven't seen is a Friday BP cap. Of course - the one thing I would actually buy if they offered it....I have long thought that the new owner was testing the waters before committing to a full uniform change, based on comments he made when he took over. If that's true, this could well be a step in that direction. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I thought the retro gear was for Sundays. Did they move it to Friday's for this season? Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yes, retro on Friday this year. Ideally, we'll have ball-in-glove and classic colors seven days a week in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snazel Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I love that old Brewers gear. What a cool team the Brewers were in 1982. I'm looking over the roster from that year and its just littered with cool baseball players from that era.I miss Milwaukee in the AL. I miss the old AL East with Detroit included as well. Hell, I miss the two division alignment. I think I just miss baseball in the 80's, when an era of 5.00 was considered *TERRIBLE* and not "well maybe you can make the club", and 35 homeruns was a marquee stat.

hecticbro Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I happen to like what the Brewers have now. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than that silly old set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcgd Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 If anyone is thinking of getting one of these fleeces...I strongly recommend it. They are so comfortable and warm. We ordered them with my adult baseball team's logo on them and they are the exact same things as these. My favorite article of clothing right now.

sacker12 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I wish that they would make a Braves one, preferably a royal blue one with the white insert and the lower-case "a" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Well, statistically speaking somebody's got to prefer the new stuff. Gods know the rest of us Brewer fans don't. Wow, I wonder what the Yankees are going to do for their throwback fleeces. Looks more like a fashion variant than a throwback. The Yankees' Cooperstown Collection stuff tends to have the 1930s version of their cap logo: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Korkie Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I love that Astros one. When I think Astros, thats the logo I think of. The Brewers gear looks sweet. I love that Milwaukee script.
