Windstorm Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Have the Blue Jays worn their blue alternates on the road yet or is it strictly a home alt?Both home and road. They usually go with grey for two games and blue for one game in each series on the road (although it varies). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBrett Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Blue Jays wear their blue alternate on the road pretty consistently. I know they have worn them at least 8 times so far this year.4/7 vs CLE4/8 vs CLE4/22 vs KC (KC wore their powder alts this game as well)4/26 vs BAL5/5 vs LA5/9 vs OAK5/13 vs MIN6/10 vs ATLThey seemed to have worn them more frequently in April thru mid-May, though.

rxmc89 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 For the love of God Blue Jays and Marlins, PLEASE have a blue vs. orange matchup this series.

Legend Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Not a great matchup for the colorblind todayI saw this earlier and loved it!My two favorite colors. They are quite close together, so it is odd, but overall I thought it looked really cool.Also, is it just me, or does the Marlins field look like ? Every time I see highlights from the game it looks like they had a football game on it or something. It just looks really bad, like the grass is coming up and dead in spots.

SmoothieX Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Are they playing homage to that Illinois-Wisconsin hoops game from a few years back?Was looking at pics on ESPN.com a little while ago, is it just me or where there a lot of color on color games yesterday? Made the Subway Series game look even sweeter. The iconic Yankees vs. the blackless, pinstriped Mets.Now if the Mets just won, I'd be happier.

Every time I see highlights from the game it looks like they had a football game on it or something. It just looks really bad, like the grass is coming up and dead in spots.When asked about the grass on why the grass looks so bad the Marlins president responded with its dead. Its gonna have to be replaced over the off season most likely.too me they put in the grass too late, they had so many exhibition games it didn't give the grass time to settle. The roof is always closed during games as well, yes its hot down here but I yet to see a game with the roof open, and Ive been to about 5 or so. They need to keep the roof open more often, and a better higher quality grass, if Houston can do it so can Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlinfan Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 It's also been rainier than usual down here. The roof has been closed more during the daytime than they anticipated.They are going to install a different blend of turf more suited for shady areas. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I hate the look of the Nationals red alternate on the road. There's so much white on the jersey, which just looks weird with grey pants. And there's so little navy on the jersey, which looks weird with a grey cap. If you want a road alternate, drop the patriotic navy alternate and make a regular navy road alt with the Washington script. The Orioles orange jersey, on the other hand, is one of the single best looks in the league IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Not a great matchup for the colorblind todayIt's a clash match-up that hadn't been permitted prior to this season. It seems like teams are more and more blowing off the unofficial "Don't wear similar alternates" mandate from the commish. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

phutmasterflex Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Check out Derek Norris' helmet. It's the design of the old A's road cap I saw that yesterday. I thought it was interesting.Watching the game right now and Norris is wearing the same helmet Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinfan Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 I have a confession to make. I finally caved and bought a Blue Jays cap. I don't usually buy other team's merch very often but it is such a beautiful piece I couldn't resist anymore. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I never buy merchandise from other clubs. Ever. But if I was ever going to buy a cap from a team not my own, this would be the year. The Blue Jays and Orioles each have new caps that are so gorgeous they make me jealous. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

SmoothieX Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The Orioles new hat is awful, it looks like a balls on toast sandwich. I miss the ornithologically correct one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cap collection is filled with caps that were only worn for a year or people consider "ugly". But I will make an exception and get this beauty Go A's!
