OchentaYOcho88 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 There's a lot going on here, lol. I know minor league teams usually do crazy things to draw, but the Star Wars uni is a bit too far IMO. On the other side of the coin, I like that they support different causes such as pancreatic cancer and the local zoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Purple could also be the American Cancer Society as a whole. A team I used to work for did the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 It's not often the batting practice uniform is the best of the set but that's the case here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I'd love to see more of the Star Wars patch where the musclebound bird has a lightsaber instead of a bat. It looks like he has a red lightsaber making him an evil Sith lord. I think they did that to help identify the super nerds so they knwo who to beat up (these dudes are jocks, after all).

DEAD! Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I'd love to see more of the Star Wars patch where the musclebound bird has a lightsaber instead of a bat.

I think they did that to help identify the super nerds so they knwo who to beat up (these dudes are jocks, after all).They would beat them up because the nerds exposed these players as not being good enough to be in the major leagues...

PJBenterprises Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 They also wore camo jerseys. I don't have the exact date, but I think it was in the end of August. They were "digital" camo with a red and yellow arched wordmark similar to the red BP jersey. The purple ones were indeed for the American Cancer Society.These "one game only" jerseys are made by "OT" and are very cheaply made. In fact for most of them, all of the graphics (including word marks and numbers) are sublimated - see the Twins throwbacks for example.The "FC" hat that Ice_Cap refers to stopped being worn in '06. It was used primarily as a BP cap, but occasionally in games. It was replaced with the "Ball with wings" cap that Plouffe is wearing in the photo with the red BP jersey.As an aside, I remember when they first announced the white jerseys in April (which were new for 2011), there was supposed to be a new alternate red jersey as well. At one point it said in a newspaper article that Rawlings had had some manufacturing difficulty so they were delayed. But as it turned out, whatever they were supposed to be were never worn. Does anyone know anything more about this? Think we'll see a red alternate jersey in 2012? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I so totally would buy this jersey. Definitely my favorite of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I've actually had the Twins jersey that this one is based off of since I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
