Joshawaggie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 maybe the nats can wear a jersey from this team:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Senators_(1891-1899)The Senators did not fare well in their nine years as a franchise, which might have been the reason they were contracted. Washington never had a winning season and compiled a winning percentage of 0.366That would be a beautiful tribute. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korkie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 One bonus* positive result from the Brewers' retro weekends: Powder blue unis for a dayPhiladelphia Daily NewsPhillies will be back in powder blue, at least for one game this season.The team is helping the Brewers celebrate the 40th anniversary season of their move to Milwaukee. The Brewers have four "Retro Weekends" planned, one for each decade.The Phillies will be in Milwaukee for 1970s weekend, May 14-16, and the teams will wear their old-style uniforms for the May 14 game. The Phillies wore the powder blue uniforms on the road for most of the '70s.Scott Brandreth, the Phillies' director of merchandising, said that is the only game planned for the retro uniforms at this time.The event was at the Brewers' urging, but Brandreth said the Phillies "were happy to participate."*Edited for Gothamite-ness.

Gothamite Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 You mean one more positive end result from the Brewers' retro weekends. They are their own positive result, but a chance to see the Phillies in their old powder blues is a bonus. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Korkie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 This is true. I was obviously focusing on the Phillies. Interesting part will be that we will have never seen this uni matchup before as the Brewers were in the AL at the time of the powder blues.See above...

Yac12 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 If the Brewers are going to wear the 70s uniforms all weekend, I hope the Phillies do too. I also hope that both teams go all out and have the proper looking batting helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I know its probably asking a bit much, but I wish theyd go for maroon cleats. When they did this back in 02 and 03, the bright red cleats looked really out of place. Now, some guys like Rollins and Victorino have a decent amount of gray on their cleats for road games, which could look ever worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Those old Phillies sets were such a mess for a little while. The home unis had maroon caps, maroon P, maroon spikes, but red pinstripes. The roads obviously didn't have red stripes, but I've seen at least a few photos of players in red helmets with the road blues. I'm pretty sure that was a mistake and not ever a part of the set though.Darren Daulton had red catchers gear to go along with the home uniform during his first year or two (before the home uni switched to maroon pinstripes), and I'm fairly certain he wore the red gear with the blue set too. I think this was '85 maybe? "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

powersurge Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I might be part of the minority here, but I think the current Phillies unis are a step up from the 80's unis. The only thing I'd change would be to add an outline of some sort around the 'Phillies' patch on the home whites or have the pin stripes continue all the way down behind the script. Looks weird how they have it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 In a quote from today's St. Petersburg Times under Rays Rumblings (some of it we know about and some seems new...)Look for a new sky blue cap (mlb.com is selling it now) for spring training and road game batting practice, and potentially another uniform change coming.http://www.tampabay.com/sports/baseball/rays/article1067686.eceAnyone know more?

I'm not a huge fan of having the team's nickname on both home and away unis. Its bugs me when I watch any Angels or Rays highlights. Thankfully the Dodgers fixed that, but it took a long time for them to do so. I hope the Rays make that change soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 1990s Retro WeekendJuly 23-25 vs. Nationals- July 23: Brewers to wear reproductions of the home 1997-99 uniforms. The jersey has "BREWERS" in block letters on the front, while the cap features an "MB" logo. The Nationals will be wearing their current uniforms. Alumni Greg Vaughn and Jeff Cirillo are scheduled to attend and participate in a pre-game autograph session. If the description is correct, they would actually be wearing their 1994-96 uniform, which is the inferior version of this design. Please let it actually be the 97-99 unis, with the thick braiding on the placket instead of piping, and the white "M" on the cap. Not only is that an outstanding uniform, but I'd really love to get my hands on one of those caps again.We can only hope you're right.And - you are correct!

gEO 3b 4 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Slightly off topic, but doesn't warrant it's own thread.When he was introduced at his press conference Ben Sheets had a #21 jersey.On the A's website however, he's listed as #15.

I may even have the incentive to do something I haven't done for years... buy a jerseyIf it does end up being the 94-96 version, it'll be the second of these "retro" series where they picked an inferior uniform. The late 80s version of their uniforms with the droptail script is much nicer than the generic duds from 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yeah, those rocked. Clean up those scripts a little bit (like the Twins did for Minnesota) and the Brewers would look awesome again. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
