hecticbro Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I was reading an article about the Tigers today and noticed that there was a picture of Justin Verlander pitching in the road greys with what appears to be the home cap (white 'D', rather than orange). Did they actually wear this? It looks odd!Here's the link for the picture: http://cmsimg.detnews.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/b...mp;Profile=1004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always wear the home caps for the entirety of Spring Training. The road cap doesn't make its first appearance until the games count. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Brave-Bird 08 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 i thought teams only wore bp jerseys in spring training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I thought they had two caps for spring training - one with a white panel on the side and another with orange. But I didn't watch that, obviously, so I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 i thought teams only wore bp jerseys in spring training?Not true. I know the Mets wear their snow-whites at home and BP on the road, and I think the Cards wear their unis at home and on the road (definitely at home though), as do others as well...

TFoA Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 i thought teams only wore bp jerseys in spring training?The Dodgers, Cardinals, Cubs, Yankees, the aforementioned Tigers, and the Phillies are a few teams off the top of my head that wear their regular uniforms for spring training games.

But I didn't watch that, obviously, so I'm not sure.Nope, those are the BP caps you are thinking of. As TFoA mentioned with the jerseys, some teams wear the game hats and others wear the BP hats. For example, the Tigers wear the real caps (home only) in Spring Training, but the Astros go BP only for the spring. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

The_Admiral Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 The white D looks pretty sharp. I don't think any team needs more than one hat. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayBlueshirt Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 The white D looks pretty sharp. I don't think any team needs more than one hat.Eh, I think it looks pretty mismatched with the orange on the jersey and not on the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 There's roughly as much white on the jersey as there is orange. I wouldn't sweat it. I just think the white contrasts better with the navy than the orange does, and keeps things simple: the D is either blue on white or white on blue. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would bug me to see a team wearing a cap that ignores the major trim color. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
