stumpygremlin Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Why is it that they're often on only one sleeve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well, what else would you put on the other sleeve? Alternate logo on one sleeve seems fine enough to me. Don't wanna clutter the uniform. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 The other sleeve is reserved for special occasion or memorial patches generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Because it's ONE memorial, not two.Look at other sports...in most cases, it's one memorial for the deceased. Whether it's a patch, a black band/ribbon, sticker, etc., it's just one. There may be another non-uniform-related display (painted on a field or ice, mowed into grass, a banner on a wall...).Although in a way, Killebrew is getting a double memorial...the gesture of wearing the throwbacks for all Twins home games, and the 3 patch on the sleeve.

MJWalker45 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think the original question was in regards to the team mascot patch, but yes usually one sleeve is always empty unless an anniversary, All Star game or soemthing like that is going on. Then it is used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Unlike football where the sleeve patches are an intrical part of the design of the uniform, in baseball, they're really looked at more as "add-on" items that can be swapped out each year when there's special events to commemorate, such as an anniversary, death, all-star game, etc. If there's nothing special going on, then they just wear their logo as a placeholder. Or at least IMO that's how it should be - many teams simply apply these special patches in addition to their logo patch, which IMO is just too much.
