tBBP Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 37 days? That means the Pirates have about 45 days until they are mathematically eliminated.aww come on! We got new management!46Actually...due to overall disinterest by any half-talented FA's out there...I'd say it's more like 38 days (as of 7 Jan)......but, of course, there's always Bobble Head Night(s) and Fireworks Night(s)!!!(Oh...and "Getchaself a Free Bottle of Heinz Ketchup for the first 500 25 Ten Fans Who Show Up in the Ketchup Red Alternate Jersey" Night...) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botiger Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 KC's powder blues would look better if the writing on the front were white with a blue trim- just my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 KC's powder blues would look better if they paired them with powder blue pants and wore them on the road IMO. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proc Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I like the new Indians uniforms (home and retro alt), as well as the Royals and Jays. Can't stand the new Tampa Bay look.I couldn't agree with you more. The Indians new duds and retro alt are nice. The Rachael Rays new look not so good.Royals blues are growing on me.Phillies alt isn't too bad. I like the cap.Blue Jays old school road...not sure about it. I think I like it only because I dislike their current look so much.Any word on the BP caps for all teams...losing the flap or a carryover from last year for the most part?

no97 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 With pitchers and catchers due to report in only 37 days -- but who's counting?And I'm looking foreward to the Cubs first ever (home) throwback game. Accoring to the Bloomington (IL) Pantagraph (see the 13th paragraph of the linked story), the Cubs will wear 1948 replica unis as part of a celebration of WGN-TV's 60th anniversary:I can only hope they wear the correct stirrups, as the rest of the uni is pretty boring...MooseI love that 48 Cubs look. It's the one featured in a Norman Rockwell painting, and I've always liked it and wanted to see it in action.Think we can re-create the entire scene? It's almost too bad that it's a home game, as I agree - the road is very nice. I just think that the home is too plain. It'll also make it tough to re-create that Rockwell scene...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I know, but it was too good a joke to let pass. Well, maybe it wasn't, but anyway.And yeah, I tend to agree. The roads are beautiful, but the Cubs' retro home is just a little too plain. I know that they're doing it to celebrate an anniversary, but it's too bad they couldn't do something more along the lines of the 1940 home uniform (either one) - love those sleeve stripes!

BBTV Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 IIRC they wore those road uniforms in a nostalga game in Philadelphia many years ago.

TheGodfather Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I hate the new Rays. Everything about it, worst change in sports history.My teams don't have too much or anything new for that matter, but I'd love to see the Mets use a regular alternate all orange jersey like the BP they used to have.And although I'm guessing no one will ever touch the Yanks, adding a red alternate would be good too.

Buffalo Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 The Royals powder blue is my favorite.That doesn't look right to me. Is there any powder blue trim on their pants or hats at least? Maybe it would be better if the pants matched.AGREED.THE ORIGINAL "GEORGE BRETT-ERA" POWDER BLUES ARE AN ALL-TIME FAVORITE OF MINE... BUT THESE WITH THE ROYAL LETTERING AND WHITE PANTS JUST DOESN'T WORK... THEY LOOK LIKE A COLLEGE TEAM, NAMELY THE UNC TARHEELS...TOO BAD THE LETTERING IS ROYAL AND THE PANTS DON'T MATCH...

Gothamite Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 What about the Oakland Athletics? Aren't they getting a new alternate jersey this coming season?I think that's the black alternate that they introduced a while back but stopped actually wearing on the field a few seasons ago. It never actually left their style sheets, from what I'm told, so it's not really a new alternate jersey. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

CubsFanBudMan Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 IIRC they wore those road uniforms in a nostalga game in Philadelphia many years ago.I believe you are correct. Might have been as far back as 1994. I know they wore them during Ryne Sandberg's time on the team because I have some kind of giveaway card with him wearing it.

If the year is up for grabs, I'd give the edge to the 1940 over 1945 as well. But I'd welcome the 1945 just to see a pinstripe-less look at home for a change.
