Wally1912 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Moments ago during the pregame show on NESN, Heidi Watney, the sideline reporter, mentioned the Red Sox are trying to have green jerseys ready in time for Friday night's home game vs St Louis. This is obviously to honor the Celtics for capturing their 17th NBA title last night.I don't know if it will be the cool base style on sale through MLB.com or the older mesh jersey that the team has worn previously.

slapshot Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I think that's a very cool idea. Hopefully they're like the uniforms worn for the Red Auerbach tribute last year. The only problem I have for the Cool Base jerseys is that blue is substituted for red. How can they be the Red Sox if they don't wear any red?

Not bad...but like slapshot said..."where's the red?" Fantastic idea, nonetheless. I think it just goes to show how Boston is unique in the way it worships its sports teams. Yes, WORSHIPS. Now...when do the green Patriots jerseys arrive? Huh? Somebody with Photoshop wanna do a rendition? A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

jab8281965 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Another example of the whores who own the Red Sox trying to bilk their fans out of every last nickel. Oh, I forgot, the team doesn't have a lot of money because you paid so much for it, and you play in a small stadium.First they wore green uniforms as a "tribute" to Red Auerbach, now this. I didn't see anyone in Boston wearing red uniforms for you guys.C'mon Lucchino, everyone knows you're a scumbag and your wife's a lush. And yes, I am a season ticket holder.

I have faboo seats I've had since college, so giving them up would be crazy. I started in the bleachers and now I'm 8 rows behind the visiting team's on deck circle... the visiting teams love me. I've gotten to know many of the traveling secretaries and people who travel with the team, so I get lots of "stuff" from the teams to wear and root against the Sox. My clients, unfortunately, love the seats, so I pay for them every year. I think I go about 15 games a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewG70 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Now...when do the green Patriots jerseys arrive? Huh? Somebody with Photoshop wanna do a rendition? All you need to do is pull out an old Washington Federals jersey, and you have it. (BTW, can anyone explain why the hell they chose green, black and silver as their colors instead of red, white and blue!?)

CubsFanBudMan Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Not a fan of this idea. The Cubs and White Sox made it through six championships without wearing Bulls-themed jerseys... and the Sox and Bulls share an owner.Plus, it feels less like a tribute and more like, "How can we capitalize on another team's success?" and "What else can we do with these green jerseys we have laying around?" (or are these actually different than the ones from before -- even worse)They didn't even wear the "special" gold-trimmed 2004 World Series championship jerseys for anything other than the 2005 home opener pregame, did they? And those were for a title they actually won.I actually like this idea even less than when I started typing this reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally1912 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Here's a news item about the tribute to the Celtics and it contains a mention of the green jerseys.The Sox, who honored the late Red Auerbach by wearing green jerseys for an April game in 2007, may do so again tomorrow if logistics allow. The team is trying to get Celtics players who will remain in the area after today?s parade to head to Fenway to be feted.It sounds to me the Sox are scrambling to get them made up since they didn't wear green for St Patrick's Day this year as they had a road game in Tampa against the Yankees.

I can't remember.I think that the White Sox wore a World Series Champs patch on their hat and/or jerseys. But did the Cardinals wear the gold-trimmed uniforms in their home opener? I think the point that was being made was that the Red Sox didn't even wear the uniforms to commemorate their own championship in an actual game, but they are wearing green for another team's championship in a game.
