Gothamite Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'd try the "Dressed to the Nines" uniform database. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Falcon Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'd try the "Dressed to the Nines" uniform database.Thanks for that! But I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's listed anywhere which combos were worn for which games. (Usually I don't care about baseball, but that's my fave team. I'm tracking all the NFL uni combos worn back to 1960, and am about 40% complete right now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really only remember the black caps by then. Whatever the color, those were some awesome caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game 1 10/10/79, at Baltimore - Black Jersey, Yellow Pants, Yellow Cap (Baltimore - Orange Jersey)Game 2:10/11/79, at Baltimore - Yellow Jersey, Black Pants, Black CapGame 3:10/12/79, Pittsburgh - Pinstripe Jersey, Pinstripe Pants, Black CapGame 4:10/13/79, Pittsburgh - Yellow Jersey, Yellow Pants, Black CapGame 5:10/14/79, Pittsburgh - Black Jersey, Yellow Pants, Yellow CapGame 6:10/16/79, at BaltimoreGame 7:10/17/79, at Baltimore - Yellow Jersey, Black Pants, Black Cap (Baltimore - Orange Jersey)And yes, they did wear the yellow caps in '79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranium Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 As I recall, they wore whatever combination Willie Stargell dreamed for that day's game, or something to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh1068 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 For Game Six they wore the same combo as Game Seven: black caps and pants, yellow shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really that important? While you're looking at ste with people with specific information, I think you could be just too specific. Will thich shoes for the starting 9 be next? Nike, Pony, Adidas, or Spot-bilt? Plus, shouldn't this be under "Requests"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Anyway, did the Pirates really still have the gold caps in '79? I really only remember the black caps by then. Whatever the color, those were some awesome caps.I seem to remember the Pirates occasionally wearing the gold caps as late as 1985, but by that time it was akin to seeing a flying pig - by that time the black pillbox style was pretty much the every-day.

rynoz10 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 As I recall, they wore whatever combination Willie Stargell dreamed for that day's game, or something to that effect.Cranium is partially right. There was no rhyme or reason to the uni's combinations, although I am not sure if Willie was the one picking them out. I talked to Kent Tekulve about this and he said they had to post the uniform combination with the lineup cards in the clubhouse cause they changed so much.

Jungle Jim Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I read Blue Falcon's original question to mean he/she was looking for the combinations for every regular season game, not just The Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Falcon Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 I read Blue Falcon's original question to mean he/she was looking for the combinations for every regular season game, not just The Series.Indeed, that is what I'm looking for. I honestly wish the Pirates would bring these unis back...there's no reason a baseball team can't have a bunch of uniforms for a 162-game season. All this crap about 'preserving tradition' and 'honoring the past' with home whites and road grays is pretty much passe in this era of Barry Bonds' inflated biceps.

And it's hard to say that any of these meet that standard. IIRC, those were pretty wide gold-AND-black pinstripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If you ask me, if they had with just the all white pinstriped and the all black roads (and wore that with the black hat instead), they wouldve looked pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
