The unofficial 2009 minor-league promo jersey thread

Recommended Posts

I'll post stuff when I get the motivation.

The Albuquerque Isotopes will have an Albuquerque Dukes retro night on July 21st (presumably, they'll be back in the old uniforms).

Also, the Topes will be wearing a special pink jersey for breast cancer awareness on August 28th.

The West Michigan Whitecaps will have three special jerseys this year: one for autism, one for breast cancer, one for prostate cancer awareness:

The Altoona Curve will have a throwback-type uniform for May 3 up for auction:

I don't know what the AC logo was for, since the city had baseball for one year between 1912 (when the Rams left) and 1996 (when the Rail Kings played in the North Atlantic League. The team, playing in 1931, were known as the Altoona Engineers, Jeannette Jays, and the Beaver Falls Beavers. Was this a team forced to move, like the New York Stars of the WFL?

I thought we were doing away with all of the "catch all" threads?

No we can still have them, but you just can't post that it is already being discussed and link to this thread. If someone thinks a thread is warranted, let it be.

Last night, the Lake Elsinore Storm wore their San Diego Padres Taco Bell retros against Manny Ramirez and the Inland Empire 66ers. I can't find a photo, but they were displayed on ESPN because Manny Ramirez was doing his rehab assignment. Look at the background here: (http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/88722177/Getty-Images-Sport)

Lake Elsinore hosts the Class A All-Star Game, and, in a move reminiscent of the Home Run Derby jerseys at the All-Star Game, have special "CAROLINA" and "CALIFORNIA" jerseys based on the design and colors of the host Storm. They're up on eBay.

The Senators have been wearing these pink jerseys for this weekend. It's pink weekend to benefit the PA breast cancer coalition.

They've also had pink giveaways for the games.
