DallasSports Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 A lot of MLB teams this year really digging into the past. Have they been doing this for years? I find this really interesting. I like it and all, but is the league enforcing it?Hell, even the Rays had a "throwback". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah it's a pretty common thing to see teams wear throwbacks every so often, but I do agree with you that it seems like teams are doing it a lot more frequently this season. I personally don't mind it in a 162 game season, but I think a big reason why it's becoming more prevalent is due to some teams now designating throwbacks as full time alternates (Brewers, Jays). This leads me to another question thats somewhat an extension of yours. Does the MLB have a rule that limits the number of "permanent" alts a team can have, and do they as well limit the number of "special occasion" unis a team can have?

RyanB06 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Not that I know of...MLB isn't like the NFL when it comes to that sort of thing.

infrared41 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I like it.The more throwbacks...the better.I agree. If we could just get some of these teams to stick with the throwbacks baseball would be an even better looking sport. (Off topic but...this is especially true in the NFL.)

cranium Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I thought that teams missed some great throwback opportunities during interleague play. Reds v. Boston (1975), Wash. vs. Minn. (both as Senators), Texas v. Wash (ditto), Stl. v. Det. (1968), Det. v. SD (1984), Phi. v. Oak (old Philly series), just to name some obvious ones. A few wouldn't work as well, such as anyone vs. the Yankees who haven't changed their unis in several decades. Also, the Braves v. Tor. since the Braves are pretty much the same as 1992.

If it is planned far enough in advance Majestic can actually make the uniforms not look like pajamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 You'll get no disagreement from me.As much as I dislike their wearing powder blues at home, the Jays are another team whose retro throwbacks are infinitely superior to the regulalr look.

STL FANATIC Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Brewers throwbacks suck. Well not so much suck as look dull as possible.Jays throwbacks are only okay because they're throwbacks. It's really an awful design. Not that their currents aren't also. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
