no97 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'm not expecting a modern uniform for a throwback night. But a completely plain jersey/hat combo would just look hideous on the field in my opinion.Maybe (though I suspect a plain uniform is just too plain to be "hideous," per se), but lots of one-off throwback nights are hideous. I think the novelty of going completely name/number/everythingless for one night would've made for a memorable game, which is what you'd like a throwback game to be. The perfect example is the telecast of the Braves/Cubs 1948 game. They did a few innings in B/W with circa-'48 camera work. It was nuts! I couldn't see the game like I was used to seeing it, the angles were all weird, the picture was bad, it was not an optimal viewing occasion, but it sure as hell was cool for [part of] one day. Perhaps they could've been creative in communicating who was in the bullpen and so forth with big placards or something. They could've made it work, had some fun with it.This. Exactly this.

sacker12 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 It would really suck if they authentic jerseys and hats for the Boston throwback set are being sold around the same price that the other authentic throwbacks are being sold. Whoever buys them are getting royally screwed due to the fact that they are essentially paying a lot of money for a black jersey and hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally1912 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I can't believe Majestic actually used unmatched numerals on the backs of these jerseys! The 3 has 45 degree angles at the inner corners and the 2 has 90 degree squared edges. I've only seen this done on their horrible replica jerseys. The Sox should have used their traditional font in plain red and Cubs should have had their standard number style in dark blue. That would have been a major improvement.Not to mention the numbers themselves should be a good 3-4 inches higher and be closer to neckline.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

They did that when Rice used Majestic uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ink Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I too wish the Redsox went with no numbers on the back. It would have made for a more authentic look. Also I think it would have been cool if the game was broadcast in black and white or at least an inning or two, to give the fans at home a throwback broadcast feel as well. i didnt know the Cubs did that in 08. Looks cool. Overall i love when teams have these throwback games, if a team did it once a year i think it would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC2 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I really loved the Cubs uniforms, the socks were weird with the very top being black and the bottom white, it looked like pulled up football player socks. Fast. Hard. Finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I kind of liked the red sox throwbacks because everyone was wearing high socks and it was red and white, what the Red Sox colors should be.But the Cubs set was one of the coolest uniforms I have ever seen, from the socks, to the jersey to the hat it was awesome.

CubsFanBudMan Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The Red Sox throwback uniform as a whole does a great job of conveying the team name without spelling it out. Still not a fan of the all-white, all-blank cap and jersey, but back in day, perhaps this was actually creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
