Houston Astros retro weekend

On the rainbow shouldered recreations, Majestic failed to include the vertical navy stripe on the side belt tunnels.

How it was originally:

Actually, if they were supposed to be from his rookie season (87, right?) then they wouldn't even have had belts at all:

Also, I like how your example pics were all of former Phillies!

The other butchered detail of the weekend was the Astros wearing their current-day black helmets with the throwbacks. Both throwback sets featured navy blue caps and lettering.

May not matter far away and may not matter on non-close-up shots on TV, but navy blue and black don't match. And I hate it when teams/companies/whoever muck that up.

The astros have allways worn their current helmets whenever they do throwback jersey games. It just seems like too much of a pain to have to go and buy a whole new set of batting helmets for just one game. Then again they could auction them off and make a profit.
