calhof2007 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Has anybody heard if all 30 MLB teams are wearing green on St. Patrick's Day? It would be similar to the promotional stunt the MLB did on the Fourth of July and September 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be similar to the promotional stunt the MLB did on the Fourth of July and September 11.Usually its up to each team, but I know the Blue Jays are off on March 17th, but it wouldn't surprise me if they wear them the day before against Boston.

JayJaxon Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I would like to see them all in green. Some teams do it every year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calhof2007 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 I was on the Orioles MLB.com shop and I noticed they are advertising an O's kelly green hat. The Orioles have never worn green before and I was wondering if they are doing it this year. Personally, I think it would be pretty cool. I guess every team couldn't wear a green jersey but they could at least all wear a green hat.O's Kelly Green hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well for Spring Training I don't think it would be that big of a deal for both sides to wear green jerseys. I know the White Sox have worn their home uniforms before just green instead of black. That would be cool if some teams did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Phils, Red Sox, and a few others in Florida go all out, and some like Washington, the Mets, and Cardinals wear the caps only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd especially like to see the old english D on a kelly green hat down on the field, that'd be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calhof2007 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 It would be a good way for the MLB to make more money in this economic crisis to have teams wear green because they know suckers like me would buy that merchandise! Don't the Red Sox also wear green once during the regular season? I think they did it recently but it may have been a tribute to Red Auerbach.

Man, the Nats keep finding new ways to do things wrong.The White Sox have actually done that for a while. I don't know how long they have done it for, but I assume they do half way so they can wear their green during the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a "Halfway to St. Patrick's Day" promotion. They had it this past year but was rained out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallWonk Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The Nats gave out Green hats on Sept. 17th to symbolize halfway to St. Patrick's Day.And yet the Nats are one of the only teams not participating in the actual St. Patrick's Day promotion. (Fair enough, actually; the Nats have no clue what their team colors are these days, so it's probably a good thing they don't confuse themselves by adding green.) Every year this promotion makes me wish that the Red Sox would switch from navy to green. The green Red Sox cap with the red B is just such a thing of beauty; it's a shame the team insists on using dark navy like the Yankees instead.

cheo25 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I guess it's too much to ask teams to wear their team colors on St. Patrick's Day since a vast majority of teams don't have green anywhere in their color scheme. And this isn't a rip on MLB only because the NBA is just as bad with it. They devote an entire week to it.Just tired of the sheep mentality of teams wearing colors other than their state color scheme and fans nodding along in a hypnotic state and buying said merchandise. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
