Jungle Jim Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Why does Majestic make these things with SUCH BIG V-Necks?! Those things look absurd! Do they not have any photos from the 70s to actually look at? Also, the white stripe in the Reds neck is supposed to be a pinstripe, but they always make them with this big wide white stripe. And of course, these things are always about two sizes too big on every player.I really like the idea of throwback nights, but rarely do they ever get it right, which means I spend more time griping about what they did wrong than actually enjoying the throwbacks.About the black helmet thing, I agree completely, as well. Authentic Rawlings helmets can be had by the public for under $40 each, and I'm sure MLB could swing a better deal. Besides they'd get their money back and more on ebay. The least the Reds could've done' would've been to pack their home red helmets to wear, and brought a RED UNDERSHIRT for each player. How much storage space could that have taken up? The black helmets, the black undershirts, the baggy look, the oversized V-necks, and the George Hendrick pajamas look made for a ridiculous-looking night.Thumbs Way Down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombSkwad Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 My understanding from listening to the Indians post-game show (yes I'm in Atlanta but AM radio is a wonderful thing) is that all of the jerseys were EXTREMELY large compared to normal. I guess Eric Wedge commented that it ended "somewhere around the knees". I like it on a limited basis, so long as they can get the jerseys to fit!
