sacker12 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 You ever notice how baggy throwbacks are? Then Again, a lot of players are wearing them like that these days.It looks like the Brewers are wearing special helmet with them (I saw Kendall wearing a light blue helmet when he was catching), and the Braves are wearing their regular road helmet. It looks like the Brewers had their helmets sandpapered, presumably to represent the dull finish the original fiberglass batting helmets had.EDIT: Only Kendall's catching helmet had the dull finish on it. Both the Brewers' and Braves' helmets are REAL shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 The Crew is sporting their Bears unis tonight. They are different than the past unis they've worn for the same occasion. As soon as I find some pics I'll post them.edit: white version of this uni and this hat with white in place of red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaDeal Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 looks like the Brewers batting helmets are just their retro ones with the "M" logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 The Brewers' "Bears" uniforms kept reminding me of the Bad News Bears movie.I kept expecting Ken Macha to down a couple of beers during the game, and J.J. Hardy to start picking fights with everyone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Can anyone pinpoint the exact year that uniforms went from baggy pants to the tighter ones of today. I feel like it would be around 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Brewers' and Braves' helmets are REAL shiny.I dont think that was the fiberglass that made it dull. i remember reading somewhere (probably uni-watch) that the yankees, if not other teams, covered their batting helmets with a fabric. i guess the objective was to make the helmets seem more like their caps. the wardrobe folks that worked on 61* did a great job of replicating them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it would be around 1970.There is no exact year for this. Most teams switched to Double-Knit uniforms around 1970, and from there we saw a move into tighter uniforms. So if you wanted to put a year on it, '70-'71 would be your best bet. But of course the uniforms started getting baggy again in the '90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I wonder if any of the Milwaukee Brewers' various Bear uniforms have any basis in historical reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm with him - the slightly baggy look is so much more preferable than skin-tight, pantyline-showing Danskins.As for these uniforms, they mark the third different Bears throwback uniform the Brewers have worn. All from a team that couldn't even finish a single season, which makes me doubt that any of them are historically accurate.Given that, I like the black-and-white pinstriped look the best.

Gothamite Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Can anybody in Milwaukee tell me if they're selling those caps at Miller Park? I know they sold the pinstriped ones last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
