These are awesome! I love the all orange.

Too bad the rays won't do devil rays.

They did it last season an got smoked wearing them, so doubt you'll see them wear the gradients anythime soon.

Couple of pics from that game, courtesy of Getty...(I love the A's throwbacks, especially without the nameplates).

I'm watching the game live on MLB.TV, and it is beautiful. The teams even have matching batting helmets! You normally don't see that with throwback jerseys. Nice job to whoever planned this.

Usually the Rays go all out for their throwbacks. They had proper helmets last year when they wore the Devil Rays uniforms, as well as in 2008 as the St. Pete Pelicans.

Look at the photo closely. His pants are tucked into his socks! I am guessing he go the pajama bottoms and he could not pull them up properly with out making them look like knickerbockers. I thought the O's looked great and played great as well. Now if we could only throwback to 4 20 game winners, Brooks, Frank, Boog and Earl.

Isn't that simply the proper way to blouse your pants? It just looks odd because of how his leg is extended and you can actually see the tuck.

Not if your pants are the proper length and fit. You pull your socks/stirrups up high over the calf and then pull your pants up and your pants, if they are proper the length will simply sit over the socks. Such pants have an elastic cuff to keep a tight fit. You might roll the pants over one turn to hide the elastic cuff. There is nothing to tuck in.

Whats up with the Orioles and weird uniforms? I remember they wore their b.p. uniforms for one game, and some other throwback a while ago and now this. Correct me im wrong but thats 3 times in 1 year.

Not to bash Baltimore too much, but why else (prior to the Showalter resurgence) would you go to see the Orioles, especially on the road? I'd pay to see an interesting throwback game if both teams are so-so.

BTW, I find that sleeve striping very odd. It just doesn't look right on a baseball uniform. I never noticed it in the baseball card picture before.

My favorite part of those O's unis - the arm stripes. Love it.

That's my least favorite part of the jersey. Didn't match all the other trim on the uniforms(or make much sense) then; doesn't match all the other trim on the uniforms(or make much sense) now.

Don't fall too in love with the all orange look. A couple of quotes from Showalter in The Sun today: "Probably the worst thing we have going for us is these orange unis. I'll break out the jacket tonight, I'll tell you that." And "Take a picture because you won't see them again."
