Eye Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm not going to read this whole 67 page thread to see if this has already been talked about, but the Marlins are wearing the gray shirts tonight and it's the first time I've seen them with the Marlins script rather than the Florida script. It looks awful. How many times have they worn their gray jerseys this year, and this is a new change for this season, right?This is a new change for 2010. I'm not sure how many times they have worn them this year but the team is doing it for 'transition' purposes for when they become the Miami Marlins in a couple of years. They have also removed the patch that went on the sleeve.True, but they still have the F Marlin cap logo, so this isn't much of a transition to me.

Billy B Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Can someone please help me with this one?Why do the White Sox almost exclusively wear that black uniform? When something is used almost every day -- road or home -- the word "alternate" loses its meaning. The Sox usually stick with a uniform when they're winning and don't switch until they lose. And they're on a 9 game win streak right now, so that's probably why they've been in black so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Does anyone know if the Jays will be in their home or road unis when they "host" the Phils @ Citizens Bank Park? (The opposite for the Phillies too?)On edit: I read on ESPN the Jays will wear their home uniforms, so I can only assume the Phils will be in road grays...

For now, they're slowly transitioning by losing "Florida" when they can and going with "Marlins". The sleeve patch "F" is easier to eliminate than the cap "F". And I'm sure the thinking is, "Why change the cap now when we are getting a new cap to go with the new colors in 2012?" Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Bmac Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I think baseball socks/stirrups are a very under-rated part of the uniform. Most teams just wear solid color socks, which is fine, but I think it is a whole other element that can be customized to fit the look of the team. Just like in hockey. I love seeing striped socks. The Rays' striped socks may not fit the rest of their look, but I like them. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that answer your question? LOL I don't think MLB, even with all its flaws and foibles, would allow a all white-on-white game. That is, unless its gonna be operated by the KKK J/K lol.

The_Admiral Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Yeah, now they'll have been the Florida Marlins, the Marlins of Locale Denial, and then the Miami Marlins. What's the sense of the transition? Why wait to call them the Miami Marlins?

LEWJ Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Anyone know if New Era makes the throwback caps as well?The fit of Ichiro's cap looks much different than the fit of a 59fifty, even compared to the Angels caps above.It looks like Ichiro has a low-cut 5950 on.Honestly, I did not know there was such a thing.Although it doesn't suprise me. It also wouldn't have suprised me if you told me he had it tailored to his liking... |Â BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANSÂ | Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure when they stopped making them, but I wouldn't be surprised if the players can still get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njpoz Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The low crown 5950s are great. I look like a complete fool in the regular cut 5950s, but the low crown ones mitigate this a lot. You can order them from a few places online, but thy don't have every team/size combination. Alternate and throwbacks are usually out of the question too. I'd love to get my hands on a teal-billed low-crown M's hat, but I have to make do with the standard all-navy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 What's a 4940? I thought it was the low crown version of the 5950. Is it a whole other style alltogether?
