Backdraft Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Its hard to see from the picture they posted, but take a look at the store for a better idea. http://www.ironpigsbaseball.com/pressbox/n...l?article_id=34I actually like the home and away jerseys, and the Saturday one is nice too. The Sunday and BP jerseys are just bad. As for the hats, I wish they had gone with the Away hat for both home and away. The LV looks good on the hat. The logo is just too hokey for me. I can even go for the Sunday hat. The steel "I" with the pigs tail is at least interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backdraft Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 So is the Ottawa franchise moving to Lehigh Valley? Unique logo, may have to splurge for a tee after my trip to Vegas.I don't necessarily mind the logo in general, but I was just hoping it wouldnt make its way on to the hat. The away hat was pretty much what I had in mind. That Saturday thing - I just have no idea what that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I absolutely freaking love that Sunday hat. I might have to buy one. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 heh, I know a guy on the Lynx, I figure he's hoping his jersey reads Phillies on the front instead of IronPigs next year. That said, I like the jerseys, and away and sunday caps. the home and BP caps, passable but I could live without. the saturday cap, I see as an attempt to imitate the Lake Elsinore Storm's famed eyes cap, only this fails miserably.

TBGKon Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ironpigs Uniform SetsHome CapRoad CapSaturday CapSunday CapMy take:- Love the jerseys, A+. the swinging pig on the BP is classic.- Caps overall are a solid B. I'd rather see the caps as follows:Home: Navy blue with LV monogramRoad: Same as is right nowAlt 1: Red with Pig Head logoAlt 2: Navy blue with Pig Head logoBy the way, that Saturday cap could also be homage to the Ottawa Lynx caps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyb Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Looks great. I live in Ottawa and it is great to see them getting so excited about AAA baseball in Allentown because there is absolutely no interest here. I am sure the players would much rather play in front of a full house in Allentown then 200 people in Ottawa and at least they now know when they move they will have great looking new unis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The home and road unis are great, although I share the preference for the road cap.Doesn't it seem as though they ran some of these descriptions through Babelfish and back a couple times?There is also a patch on the left sleeve, which features the ?Stance? of the fully developed body of the pig head in the main logo.The Official Sunday Game Cap is the only two-toned cap in the fleet, with a brick red crown and a furnace blue bill.And my favorite:The IronPigs Saturday uniform features a brick red cap has an enigmatic look from the IronPig?s front side.

PhilliesPhan1325 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I really like their set. I think it's a little extreme to have 5 jerseys, 5 hats, and 2 pants. I might get a hat but but since they have 5 I don't know which one I'll get. "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!"

I go see the Lynx all the time because it's a 5 minute walk from my house. There is never anyone in the stands even though tickets only cost 9 bucks. I'm moving after this summer though, and so are they. It's kinda weird how that worked out. We're supposed to get a Can-Am baseball team next year to fill the stadium. I'm gonna miss watching the Lynx lose.Oh... and on topic... I like the hokey looking pig... very triple-A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna miss watching the Lynx lose.Oh... and on topic... I like the hokey looking pig... very triple-A.I was actually at their first ever game- always preferred their original logo & black/silver look. The Lynx drew really well their first few years, won the IL pennant in 1995 and had some players who went on to solid careers in the majors (Rondell White, Cliff Floyd, FP Santangelo, Matt Stairs). The novelty seemed to wear off after that, never really undestood why since it is not like they had major competition- the Senators & 67s were a different season and the Rough Riders and then the Renegades went belly-up. The last game I attended a few years ago, on a beautiful sunny day, had maybe 800 people there in a stadium that seats 10 000. Too bad, it's a really nice ballpark but pro baseball (I guess like the Expos) seem to fall out of favour after the strike in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telemundo219 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 IronPigs?? What a great name College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 These are really nice uniforms. With a name like Iron Pigs I wasn't really expecting much.
