poser Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It's too bad baseball is the only sport where fans can't regularly enjoy stripes. Let's hope that changes in the future.I enjoy stripes every time I watch a game...you only watch homes games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomDreamer Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The new Kent State Golden Flashes jersey gives me hope that baseball has a future and that future includes racing stripes! Hopefully Majestic will be replaced by Rawlings or some other company as MLB's uniform supplier soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Racing stripes on baseball jerseys is a great and timeless look as evidenced by this Puerto Rican All Star team in 1995. Roberto Alomar, Carmelo Martinez, Edgar Martinez, Rey Sanchez, Ruben Sierra, Carlos Baerga, Bernie Williams, Juan Gonzalez and Carlos Delgado. Great lineup with a great look.Timeless is the wrong word. Those definitely have a time and it was the 80's. Those are as dated as a look can look.

Sport Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 They arent coming back, neither are pull overs, stop posting about them And you have proof of this?Lack of any single full time pullover uniform since the last one was retired?Didn't the Rays have a 1979 fake throwback pullover?A one time alternate.So yes, they did come back. Even if for one-time appearances.It was a fauxback trying to match a very specific period. The idea was to mimic a ridiculous looking 70's uniforms ala the Pirates' mix and match or the Indians' bloodclot or the Padres' brown and yellows. If they had worn buttons it wouldn't have been true to how uniforms were at the time. It was also a really f****** stupid one-off to begin with. Not really a shining endorsement for pullover jerseys.

RayFinkle Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Only for the Yankees.Every other team should not have them!I'm still waiting for the Phillies to get rid of them. Red pin stripes is just disgusting looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Agreed - pinstripes can work well with some colors, particularly black and navy for maximum contrast. But red ones just look pink against the white. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Agreed - pinstripes can work well with some colors, particularly black and navy for maximum contrast. But red ones just look pink against the white.I think that partly because they're printed on instead of the woven "zig zag" style that the Yankees use. I don't know if they're literally printed, but it's definitely not like the Yankees. I'm pretty sure all the pinstriped teams that have wide-spaced stripes and set-in sleeves are the same. Not sure if the cubs have the same style stripes as the Yankees. Also, The red pinstripes looked more bold and less pink back in the flannel days. All that being said, I'd welcome a return to the 40's look, or even the old-English p on the chest, like the tigers only red.
