DustDevil61 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well, if the Mets are unveiling their new set on or around Black Friday, that can't be a good sign for their uniforms...

BBTV Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Well, if the Mets are unveiling their new set on or around Black Friday, that can't be a good sign for their uniforms... Why? Would it not make perfect sense to unveil during the beginning of holiday shopping season?

CubsFanBudMan Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 If ever it made sense to not have the city/state/location name on the road, it would be the situation the Marlins are in. I liked both versions of the "Florida" jerseys, preferring the earlier version, but they never really seemed to use it much anymore anyway.

AndrewG70 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 One thing I would not mind seeing (or not seeing, as the case may be) on the new Twins' home uniforms...The removal of names on their home jerseys. Just like what they did when they moved to the Metrodome in 1982.But that's just me.

The_Admiral Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It's just you, unless Denard Span is a household name in everybody's household but my own. It's the bigs.

If you're not the Yankees or Red Sox at home, put names on your shirts.Actually, your logic cuts exactly the other way. If Span isn't a household name, then putting his name on his jersey doesn't help. It's not like putting Kent Hrbek's name on the back of his jersey was going to help him win all those Gold Gloves he lost to Don freakin' Mattingly because Mattingly was a better hitter who played in New York, rather than a superior fielder who played in Minnesota. Take the names off. It's clean, it's classic, and between the free program that teams now hand out to every fan entering the stands and the constant streams of graphics and stats on multiple scoreboards, as well as filling every spare inch of space on the TV screen, the only people who don't know who any given player is in any given play are both blind and illiterate, and so putting players names on their jerseys won't help them anyway. (The above is hugely overstated in jest. Real point: the names on/names off thing is purely an aesthetic decision. It has no real impact on a viewer's ability to follow the game. If you know enough about Denard Span for his name to mean anything to you, then you know his jersey number, and if you don't, then you have to look him up, and his team name and number are sufficient to look him up. The "it's the bigs" argument actually supports taking the names off, since it's the bigs, where fans can be expected to know who you are.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, the Dodgers don't anything to ruin a classic set. I can see the Pirates going an all-yellow alt. IT would be nice to combine with a yellow crown/black bill cap.

The "it's the bigs" argument actually supports taking the names off, since it's the bigs, where fans can be expected to know who you are.)Agreed. At this point, NOB or NNOB is completely an aesthetic decision. Plus, it's assumed that hometown fans know their players. That's why home jerseys traditionally don't have names while road jerseys do. The Yankees actually go against the grain when it comes to this. So while good ol' Denard might not be a household name in say...St. Louis, I'm sure he is in Minnesota. Just like I know Brian Stokes and Angel Pagan are household names in my humble quarters. The thing is, you can actually argue that due to fantasy baseball, an increase in national broadcasts, Baseball Tonight and MLB Network, that MOST of these guys on each of the 30 teams are well know by a large number of fans. So in short, do what looks better. And for the Twins, it's definitely NNOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The only Astros-related thing that popped to mind was that next year is the 45th anniversary of the Houston Astros. They went from the Colt 45's to the Astros in 1965 when they moved into the Astrodome.Commemorative patch? Almost certainly. The Astros love commemorative patches.Special throwback? That would be sweet, but it's purely conjecture. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
