Wally1912 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Comparing the numbers on vintage Red Sox road uniforms and ones being worn tonight, I'd say tonight's numbers are just a tad too thin and set a little bit low on the back of the jersey.

Lee. Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Regardless of whether they are true throwbacks or not, I really wish ballplayers would go back to the fad of wearing jerseys that fit.I'm looking at you, Ramirez, you XXXXL-wearing putz.

Mr.Barragan Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Padres in Homes (Orange, Yellow, Brown) and Red Sox in Road Grays (Grey and Navy) Boston in Block font. If anyone can find pictures feel free to add any.Watching the game right now, the Padres always wear the throwback helmets with the throwback jerseys, thank God because thats always what ruins retro nights: the helmets. The Sox dont look that different, but thats what happens with the classic clubs.1= welcome to the party kid 17 looking foward to talk logos and sports with you2= Loves the throwbacks but I was hoping that the Padres would wear the Browns & Orange uniform from 1985-1990.

TPE Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 The all yellow uniforms the Padres wore a few weeks ago weren't accurate either, and neither were the Detroit throwbacks. You'd think this would be an easy thing to get right. Isn't there an old jersey lying around? Or heck, didn't they use Google before they remade the jerseys?

DGivens87 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 The last version of the navy lettering had BOS|T|ON from 1987-1989.Aw man, that road uni Spike Owen's wearing brings me back to the time I first became a baseball fan. The first Sox team I followed was the 1988 team, and I specifically remembered in 1990 (?) when they switched to the current road set they have today. I remembered asking my dad "why did they switch? I liked their old ones better!" As you can see, I was already becoming a sports logo/uni nut at the age of 8. A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Holy crap, the Padres' number font couldn't been more off if they tried. Which sucks, because they had a chance to atone for their past errors.Are the eyelets on the Padres' caps orange or brown? None of the pictures showed it conclusively. If not, another strike against this attempt. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStamper Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I've got a feeling varitek would have LOVED the chance to sport the striped stirrups.If you're going to go throwback, GO THROWBACK. this is an unfortunate letdown.in another note, the "BOS" and "TON" were defnitely not that far apart on the original unis (as the shot of jim rice proves) with the "S" actually stitched on the placket.as a yankee fan I loved these boston uniforms (admittedly the only thing I loved about the sox!!). yes, they are almost carbon copies of the old yankee road greys (before the needless white outlining was added) but it was always the sox who looked better (on the road) because of the stripes!!Of course you loved those as a yankees fan.....they remind you of the time before you choked away a 3-0 series lead and the Red Sox stopped being your little bitch!!

CubsFanBudMan Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 As Discrim said, the Padres number font is way off.That "30" on Maddux's back sticks out right away... one of the older baseball cards on the previous page shows the correct 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerBadger Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 (1) Red Sox: Today's road unis are better.(2) Padres: Independent of the number font being wrong (and it is), this looks all wrong without white shoes. Also, they did wear a button-down jersey and belt the last year of this look (1984); before that, it was Doubleknit City (you can sort of tell from this photo): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 My question is why the Padres deliberately ignore the 1985-1990 era uniforms. Those brownish-off white road unis with the interlocked SD on the left breast outlined in orange...the home whites pinstriped...brown caps with orange SD...I really miss those unis. THAT is the uniform I first fell in love with. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

Artmanc3po Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Wish they got the Pads unis more accurate. My favorite ever, especially the road browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
