alwaysr92 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Any reason for PCL throwbacks? I think a few other teams are doing it this year tooYea, Not sure why but when Mariners and A's play in a month or so. It will be Rainers vs Oaks.If I remember correctly, I believe it was in celebration of the 1955 PCL championship played between the Rainiers and the Angels, why they chose this year or today i'm not exactly sure.

HolyStroke Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I went to the A's vs Yankees games on Friday and Saturday and at the team store they had some Oaks shirts and an awesome Oaks flannel jersey for $250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Seattle looks pretty good, but the LA set is "meh".I wonder how deep that guy had to dig in his closet to find that Mets gear. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Does anyone know if the caps the Pirates are wearing today (and yesterday) will be available for sale?And if I understand these new Stars N Stripes, the Pirates will be wearing these tomorrow then, right?

Gothamite Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 That depends - do you know what hyperbole is? But here we have a group of men appropriating an ersatz and sometimes exaggerated form of the ritualized costume worn by another group of which they are not a part, with the intention of making a social statement. Or, in other words, drag. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesfan16 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 One thing that I think would really liven up the camo for Memorial Day idea would be if each team choose a branch of the military that best suit their nickname. For example, the Pirates are definitely a navy team. The Orioles/Blue Jays are definitely an Air Force team. Maybe even go with Canadian camo for the Blue Jays. Marlins are another navy team. Rangers are definitely marines. Astros are Air Force 100%. I don't know, I just think that for certain teams, this should be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 The Cardinals broadcast said "100 percent of the proceeds of the sale of the caps" goes to the MLB veterans charity. Did they misspeak or did the details change this year?100 percent to charity would change my opinion of this gimmick slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 The Cardinals broadcast said "100 percent of the proceeds of the sale of the caps" goes to the MLB veterans charity. Did they misspeak or did the details change this year?100 percent to charity would change my opinion of this gimmick slightly.Yep they said 100% goes to Welcome Home. I don't find it gimmicky. It's intention is to honor those that serve our country and they don't seem to mind and rather enjoy it. You see them in the crowd in their uniforms and I see it as it letting them know "this is for you". If people wanna be cynical and say it's "drag", fine you can. But don't act like it's anything more than simply your opinion and not actual fact. Because it's not.And piratesfan, I rather like that idea. Teams that have a certain branches represented near their location may be able to have different branches represented than the team name, i.e. the Padres and the Navy even though their name may not necessarily correlate to that particular branch, but all in all would be kinda neat to see all branches represented.
