hormone Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The Pirates broke out the ketchups tonight, but they have the regular black hats on. Pics to come shortly. (I know it's worthless without them, but someone will add them). The numbers/name are illegible from far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 They look even worse in action. It is a small saving grace that they aren't wearing the horrid matching caps.Five runs in the top of the first? Let's hope they give up five runs every inning this game. Then, before the next game they can have a ketchup jersey burning ritual followed by a ceremonial shooting of the ashes into space.

hecticbro Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 For one, I liked the last set of Pirates gear with red trim and the red alternate. Is this one pretty much the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 An entire page and a half of Pirates pictures on Yahoo is really just pictures of Barry Bonds. I think THREE of the pictures actually have a pirate in them... JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfurdell Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Just awful. I realize the Pirates have a long and vaunted tradition of horrible uniform choices, but this is definitely within that pantheon.Why are the Pirates wearing red, anyway? What's wrong with classic black and yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I guess they feel compelled to spoil a good thing.The Pirates' regular set is one of the best in the majors. Maybe they felt the team wasn't up to them? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronChefShark Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Having given the remote a workout between this game and the Sharks playoff game, its not so much the design of the uniform that is bad but in how it is coloroed. Face it, its a red version of thier white home uniform, the latter of which is often regarded as one of baseball's best looks. That being said, the red vest looks bad, and not just for this team either. It would look bad for any team, even one with red as a prominent color in thier scheme.I once thought that colored vests with contrasting sleeves would look good, and am even guilty of making concepts featuring such an idea. However between these and the Rockies black vests (purple or black sleeves, it doesnt matter either look is a bad look), its apparent that colored vests do not work. I even think the proposed Blue Jays set several years back featurning the royal vests with light blue sleeves would have been villified here just as much.It truly is something that looks better in concept form than it does in action.

ElwoodCuse Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 That jersey combined with Ronny Paulino's catcher gear was 100% Ronald McDonaldThe jerseys also showed through the pants on some guys. As in, you could see the outline of the pockets.Failure on every level. What was wrong with their most recent black alts? Those didn't bother me at all.

dfwabel Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I guess that Bonds and the rest of the Giants were seeing "Dead Red"!Thank you very much!I saw the first inning on TV. I nearly screamed at the TV. I threw up in my mouth a litle bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make it harder for the batters to pick up the ball out of the pitcher's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
