eRay Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 This couldn't work in a lot of places, but it is perfect for Boston. I can't say anything about most cities, but I know NYC would never see this happen (city has a very divided fan base, plus the Mets are always honoring the Knicks ) and in smaller cities like Denver (for example) I don't thnik the fan base is as frantic about supporting their teams. You probably have to be from New England to know where I am coming from, but trust me, this makes sense and probably wouldn't in most cities.

Gothamite Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I could maybe see it working in Philadelphia, as another example of large city with rabid fanbase, long history and only one remaining team in each sport.

ColeJ Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 it would never work in dallas, imo.too many stars fans hate the cowboys or mavericks and vice versa... but i totally see how it works in boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadillo Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 In Minneapolis-St.Paul, there's a lot of overlap between Wild and Twins fans, so if either of those teams won a championship, we might see something like this.NEVER would you see a Wild/Timberwolves overlap, thing. Not much love between the fanbases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning River Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I think it's a cool idea. One day we might find out if the Cavaliers/Browns/Tribe would do this. I say "Yes".Now... I know "How" they get the shamrock (or sox logo for that matter) in the grass. It's pushing the grass in a direction. I just don't get why or how it's so clean? Why are there no tire tracks or even foot prints? Up close is it more "blotchy"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmening Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I would love to see the Reds wear orange and black to commemorate a Bengals championship. But really, what are the odds??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 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.Haven't all the teams that won since then done the same thing? I know the Cardinals did...did the White Sox do it or the Red Sox again? 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.Hmmm...maybe not. I know you could buy authentics and I guess I just assumed they were worn.They were. In fact they wore them for the entire series.

gingerbreadmann Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I actually think this uniform looks fine with red socks (like Aardsma) and undershirts/sleeves (like Ellsbury). It kind of masks the white and makes it look kinda okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 A couple of shots of the green jerseys...It's nice to see the Red Sox go all-out and pay tribute to the Celtics with those cheap looking BPs. Hell, did the Sox even bother to put names on the back of them?EDIT: Nevermind, they were playing at Fenway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake22 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 why can't they put names on the back at fenway?they have them on the back on the other green jerseys in the first post, looks like fenway to me.

slapshot Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 None of the current batting jerseys have names on them. These were made for St. Patrick's Day, but for some reason not worn. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 None of the current batting jerseys have names on them. These were made for St. Patrick's Day, but for some reason not worn.The green jerseys were made (and sold for) for several teams, problem was, the supplier didn't get the materials to Majestic in time for them to manufacture and deliver them to the teams in time for St. pattys day.

Up close is it more "blotchy"?Ya, Clevelanders are such rabid fans of all three of there teams that if one of them one a championship (someday?) that the other teams would do something to honor them. It even extends a little further; back in 2003 the Indians honored the Buckeyes for their NCAA championship. I don't think/know if they wore anything special for them but fan support spills over to all the other teams in Ohio. 2002-2006 ALUMNI 2007-2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab8281965 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The uniforms looked silly. The letters and numbers outlined in navy, the red pant stripe on the leg.I went to the game with some Sox fans and even they thought the whole thing was a bit kitschy. A good friend (Who I share my Sox, Celtics and Pats tickets with) described the owners of the Boston sports teams elitist frat boys in a city suffering from an identity crisis. Boston's lost a bit of its identity lately as many of our major corporations have been bought out (Reebok, Gillette, Hancock, Putnam) by larger entities not located in Boston, and the .com bubble has had a negative impact on the city. Combine that with the real estate slump, the interneciene racial, ethnic and other struggles this city faces on a daily basis, the city needs something to rally around. The success of Boston's sports teams has given people a reason to be proud of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
