larrypep Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Tonight they are wearing their mustard-yellow uniforms from 72-73. They showed Mike Cameron tonight on the news (replete with afro wig) and the caps are the typical abominations that New Era has been spewing out in regards to Padres retro caps. Pictures to be posted later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'm not sure what year the Cardinals throwbacks are from. They are grey jerseys with no buttons. The only jersey of the Cardinals that I've seen is a V-neck and these aren't. Also, the Birds on the Bat logo looks cheap. It looks like Majestic used the patch that they use on the replicas, instead of embroidering it on the jerseys like they normally do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 The Padres uniforms are from 72 or 73, and that would match for the Cardinals too.As for the cheap looking Cardinals logo, I think that might actually be how they were done back then.Okay, because it's a rounded neck and not V-neck for the Cardinals, I'm concluding these are from 72.

larrypep Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Out of all the Padres' threads, they picked THESE??They are having three retro nights this year, one for 1972 (tonight), 1982 (similar to the 84 unis except they were pullover jerseys) and 1997 (not sure if they'll wear the pinstripes or the navy blues). The 1982 unis will be worn against the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Those birds look wrong. They look like the Post '98 updated birds and not the pre-98 ones which were less detailed.Also, I could be wrong but I don't think they usually had a white outline around them. The replicas do, but not the authentics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karby65 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 whoever made the decision for the carinals, screwed up and made them look like garbage, to put it nicely. besides the "post 98" birds, it's a freaking patch!!! thats a BIG no no for cardinal jerseys, besides the jerseys almost looking like ponchos. when tampa, yes the d rays, had throwback night 2 or 3 years ago, the cards wore the authentic powder blues, which were stiched and the birds (1957?-1996) looked like they were from that era of when the blues were used. shows that baseball and/or the cardinals are getting cheap. dewitt is starting to reak as a cheap rich guy.

STL FANATIC Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Sometimes it's not so much cheap as it is just a lack of attention to detail. It does appear to be correct that the birds and script are the slightly different newer version instead of what was actually worn. I also believe it is correct that the white outline wasn't there. That said, I'm still not entirely sure the fact that it's a patch is wrong. They obviously have a really detailed and expensive stitching method now, but I don't know if that was the case then.

larrypep Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Here's an example of what the Padres wore in 1972Note how the caps (for one year) had the triangle extend to the sides of the caps, sort of like a pair of Oakleys wrapping around one's head. The following year they would change the triangle to the traditional one:Compare to tonight: And contrast the differences in helmets: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 If you're wearing a retro uniform, pull your f-ing pants up and stop wearing pajamas. Otherwise, you're doing the impossible and actually making this set look uglier.And New Era: way to botch the hats. Again. Does quality control even exist at that company anymore? Someone can't take 15 seconds to look at a flippin' baseball card and see how inaccurate that hat is?Death to poorly-replicated retro!

powersurge Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 i'm in love.those are so horrible and wonderful.What sells me on these are the hats. I miss the front panel colored hats. I'm not as excited about this era of Padres uniforms though. I think their late 70's early 80's unis are a thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
