BBTV Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Just curious - are there any studies that show body heat differences between people wearing white vs black on hot days? I'd love to know how big a deal it actually is.I'm curious as well. Not sure how big of a deal scientifically it can prove, but it can get uncomfortable wearing black vs white for sure.I'm sure it all depends on the fabric used as well. I am fairly certain that darker colours, as a rule, do "absorb" more heat than lighter ones, but white wool would obviously be hotter than black jersey/"Cool Base" material.Same fabrics. Black uniform vs. white uniform. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

oakland ehs Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I wouldn't know about exact numbers, but I know I definitely feel it being in the sun with dark vs. light colors, and then it's even worse doing something athletic.Every color is available in CoolBase, although I've noticed with some teams the lack of matching greys for the tops and pants is awful.

BBTV Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 So basically the Orioles took a casual day.

leopard88 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 So basically the Orioles took a casual day.At least they hit like they did.I guess they've reached the point of trying anything to break their Sunday losing streak (now 15 games and counting). They are now 46-35 every other day of the week and 1-15 on Sunday (making them the Miami Dolphins of MLB, I guess). If they were even just 8-8 on Sunday, they'd be in the thick of the AL East race right now.As for the uniform itself, it looked too plain. When you become used to button-front uniforms with numbers on the front, sleeve piping and names on the back, pullovers with no sleeve piping, no front numbers and no names just look really out of place.

John in KY Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 No pics, but the O's were wearing the retro helmets tooI've got to give the O's extra credit for wearing the waistband pants. It seems like most teams that have done throwbacks have just (incorrectly) worn belted pants. I'll give the Jays a bit of a pass on correctness since the powder blues are their regular Friday home alt and I don't think any modern player would want to wear waistband pants on a regular basis.

NDwas Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The Orioles may not have played fantastically, but they sure looked great. Here are some shots from last night's half-game (resuming as I type this)...Besides the non-elasticity of the Jays' pants, my only gripe is the MLB logo on the back of the jerseys and helmets -- why not red, white and blue like the hat? Tomorrow's just your future yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M59 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Interestingly enough the Orioles went out and got a set of old-style helmets for this game, unlike the "1979" throwback game earlier in the season, where they put stickers on their regular coolflow helmets. These work much better with the white front panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlovepuck Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 What is the logo on that patch on the O's throwback unis? It is a patch they wore in '83 or is it a patch commemorating that team? Anyone have a bigger picture of the patch or logo on the patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I might do differently with it would be to make the pennants in the back gold to match the World Series trophy.
