larrypep Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 I hate the fact Washington wears those Senators jerseys, they are in no way affiliated with that team anymore. Texas a few years back wore Senators throwbacks.They honor WASHINGTON baseball history. They have the records of the Expos and they honor Expos records, but you cannot seriously expect a Washington team to wear Montreal throwbacks.If Texas can wear the old Senators uniforms I think it wouldn't hurt for the Nats to don the old Expos uniforms once. Maybe even in San Diego as a throwback to 1969 game, that would be fun. After all, both teams are sister teams that came into the league in 1969.

In fact, I would venture to say that the club wants to shy away from mentioning their Washington history. This is the 50th year of Senators/Rangers baseball, but the team is only promoting that next year will be the 40th year of baseball in Arlington. If the Rangers wore those damn Senators jerseys again, there would be as much consternation as if the Nationals wore Expos throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The Nats looked strange with different color sanitary socks under the stirrups. Some players were wearing red socks, some were wearing dark ones, and the bulk were wearing the proper white ones. The Padres were guilty, too.Overall, this was a good throwback effort. I still wish Majestic would learn to place the numbers higher toward the neckline when no name is on the back of a jersey.It looks to me like these are white stirrups with socks underneath and a few players have white socks, a couple have red and #38 has blue.

Don Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I dunno about that. The only time I could see it appropriate for the Nats to wear Expos alternates is playing in Toronto in Interleague play, otherwise, I dont think many Nats fans would be very acceptable of it. Plus one of the other reasons for throwback days is for fans to buy up throwback merchandise, and 99% of Nats fans would be more likely to buy an old Senators hat rather than an Expos hat.Really what I was objecting to is the person I quoted hating the fact the Nats wear throwback Senators jerseys. As long as baseball doesnt have a problem with it, it should be done. Baseball tradition in the District goes behind the current Nationals, they have won a World Series and that tradition should be honored.

Bouj Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I hate the fact Washington wears those Senators jerseys, they are in no way affiliated with that team anymore. Texas a few years back wore Senators throwbacks.The 1936 Senators are now actually the Minnesota Twins haha. So really these throwbacks don't honor a period in Nationals history. Washington baseball history yes, but I guess I just don't see the point of them considering how new the Nats areThe Padres have no ties to that PCL team either. There's no difference between this and a Negro League uniform throwback night. In this case, you're honoring the history of baseball in the city, not the actual teams' history. It's a nice move. More people should be aware that baseball existed in their city either prior to their current club's arrival or in other league incarnations. Cities like San Diego, Houston, & Kansas City have rich baseball traditions outside of their current clubs, and a sport who honors their history the way baseball does would be doing a disservice to ignore it.

yh Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think throwback games are better when the teams wear uniforms that someone actually remembers seeing on the field, but that's just me, I guess. I'd like to have see the sets these came into the league with in 1969.ThisIf Texas can wear the old Senators uniforms I think it wouldn't hurt for the Nats to don the old Expos uniforms once. Maybe even in San Diego as a throwback to 1969 game, that would be fun. After all, both teams are sister teams that came into the league in 1969....and this.

xTr1pleXx Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Wow, those are beautiful uniforms. Especially the San Diego one. That's a tremendous wordmark which works well on a pinstripes jersey. Love both teams' stirrups too.BTW, if the Padres are ever looking for a new wordmark for their road uniforms, this one is a damn good place to start. I actually like their current road uniforms, but a wordmark like this one might improve it further. 1923 1927 1928 1932 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1943 1947 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1956 1958 1961 1962 1977 1978 1996 1998 1999 2000 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
