joenov Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 So two :censored:ty teams decide to wear throwbacks from a mere 20 years ago when nothing spectacular happened to either organization during that time period? Yeah, I'd say throwbacks have definitely gone too far...Well, I'd say Ken Griffey Jr was pretty spectacular. Army Commo - "You can talk about us, but you can't talk without us!"

OnWis97 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 All the Major League references...But when I saw those M's uniforms, the first thing I thought of was the Naked Gun (though I realize they wore the road jersey in that flick). Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

cityhockeyfever Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I actually still have that official Seattle Mariners fitted cap from that exact era (didn't have the MLB logo on the back at the time). I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorss9 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 And these jerseys were in Major League II, though everyone is quoting the first film. The first Major League had Indians' jerseys without shoulder stripes.As long as Wedge didn't give the team one of those corny win one for Lou Speeches, or act like their best pig just died because they're not doin' so hot. I do think they looked better with some stirrups shown, and other than that and that I'm not sure they used the right variation of block numbers for the M's front numbers, they did everything quite well.

tmorss9 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was thinking of that one too, Curt. If it weren't for my policy about not swearing in casual conversation, I would have mentioned something about Lou's love of all things English, and his desire to move there. "Hats for bats.

oakland ehs Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Theres nothing wrong with throwbacks once in awhile. Its a 162 game season. Gotta do something different once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm not understanding the dislike fore these two jerseys. The only change I'd make is to get the numbers off the front of the Mariners jersey.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cianfrocco Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Sure, the M's jerseys (not to mention the primary logo that went along with it) were pretty plain, but are these really the worst to come out of the 80's? My first game in the Kingdome was in 1981 (one week old), but these were the first uniforms that I really remember on a daily basis, so if nothing else, I was pleased to see these make an appearance. I don't think they should be changing back anytime soon, as their current set is far and away better than anything they have had.I only wish the game had been on TV here, but Fox only loves the Red Sox, Angels, and Yankees, and for whatever reason they have a monopoly on Saturday afternoon games. They should have tried to switch it to a night game once they found out they weren't being picked for national coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The Mariners should go to full time home throwbacks and wear this hat. It'd be easy, they wouldn't have to change the jerseys at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallWonk Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 First off, "Yes" to the teal-billed Mariners cap. Why on earth are they not wearing that as the primary home and road cap right now? As to the throwbacks, those old M's uniforms may have been unspectacular, but they weren't bad. They're B-minus uniforms at worst. Everything is pretty solid, the script is actually pretty good, and the overall color balance is about perfect for the scheme. The cap logo is below average, to be sure; the double-outline scheme pops on the uniform because the two colors are on a third color (white), whereas on the cap the two colors don't pop because the background matches the inline color, making the whole thing look like a one-color logo with too much outlining. But aside from a poorly executed cap logo, there are no fundamental flaws here. For the era, this was a pretty good uniform, and it stands up well enough today. It shouldn't make anybody's top-ten list, but neither does it deserve to be in any worst-uniforms lists. This uniform is in about the same territory as the modern Mariners, or the Royals or the Phillies: Uniforms that do the job just fine without having any glaring flaws, but also without achieving any real greatness.

Joshawaggie Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Harry Doyle: Rick Vaughn gets the starting call today. We're told he matured a lot over the winter...apparently he's bathing now. Congratulations, Rick! As you know Monty, Vaughn's been working on a couple of new pitches.
