oakland ehs Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Always thought it was pointless to have two alts of the same colour, just a change from team to city name. Pointless. It doesn't even sell more jerseys - it'll just split the blue alt's buyers in half. And maybe add a few hardcores.At least when the Twins did it, the scripts were different looking. Brewers and Astros? Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers and Astros? Dumb.I agree, but for whatever reason I usually like the road versions and would prefer them to the home versions if forced to choose. The MINNESOTA and NEW YORK Twins and Mets road alternates, for example, always looked 10x better to me then the home versions.

Top Shelf Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Mets and Brewers kicking it old-school tonight. And of course, the Mets have to it up by wearing their regular batting helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJaxon Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I think both jerseys look great. They will go with every uniform. The hats are not great but the jerseys are spot on. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at pics of the Blue Jays/Orioles game today. The O's caps look horribly out of place (and that's not even mentioning the fact that the brim is blue).I hate to say it, but I think it would be best if away teams wore a dark colored alternate (if they have one) for Memorial Day, July 4th, and September 11th. Looking at pics of the Red Sox/Royals game, Kansas City went with their royal blue tops and it doesn't look nearly as bad. Still not good, but not as bad.

CubsFanBudMan Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 2010 All-Star BP unis:You know, I really think they screwed these up. I like the main logo, and I think they should have stuck with the halo-on-the-star theme, rather than what they did here.In both of these the halo seems forced, like it wants to say "Angels" but not too much, so the halo ends up oversized on the A and ends up on the N for no real reason. Why not just leave it on the star that dots the I? And if theat is too small, then replace an A with the star-halo. Putting on the letters is too Angel-like if you aren't going to do it right, like the Angels do, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 This whole promotion is absolutely ridiculous. I'm so glad Roy Halladay threw his perfect game in a real hat, because it'd be horrible if the photos in the Hall and in all of the papers showed him wearing this silly cap.

I'm so glad Roy Halladay threw his perfect game in a real hat, because it'd be horrible if the photos in the Hall and in all of the papers showed him wearing this silly cap.That's a tremendous point. It would suck if something historic happened in one of these weird, non-jersey-matching hats.I'm all for honoring our armed forces, but they REALLY cheapen the thing by selling the hats for profit. If they didn't sell the hats, or sold them with profits going to veteran's groups or charity, that'd be awesome. But the way they're doing it is really lame.If they want special hats for holidays and 9/11, why not just slap an American flag on the side of the cap for every American team? It'd look way better than all the stuff they've tried the last couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubby34 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I wish I could find an USA Flag Marlins cap, and a Mets one too. I really wanted one in 2001, and still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd look way better than all the stuff they've tried the last couple years.Because that doesn't really honor anyone either, nor does playing the Star Spangled Banner, or any of these silly tributes. I highly doubt someone who is at war is going to feel better about risking getting blown up every day because multimillionairs are wearing little $0.05 flag patches (that were probably made in China) on their caps. It's just another "look at us, we carez!!!" thing, like those stupid wristbands that seem to come out for every cause.Even if they are donating some or all profits, there's just something hollow about guys who make $20 million + participating in a cute fund raiser. What's next? A-Rod opening a lemonade stand outside of Yankee Stadium so he can raise $30 to donate?
