mania Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Alright, just put together a listing of all the one-offs and throwbacks that I could find on my blog, along with real photos and official graphics (for the throwbacks, if the team hadn't released a picture, I didn't look for an era-appropriate one, although I considered it).The reason I'm posting this here is... did I miss any? Some teams advertised all of their turn back the clock events, while other teams didn't, to the extent that I had to kind of get lucky with google and other references to make sure I got them all. I figured if any group of people would know if I forgot a team, it would be this group.Thanks in advance.

mcrosby Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The Brewers Italian jersey this year will say Birraioli not Birraroli. Good write up for everyone. I'll be back to look for pics as they're added. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The Brewers are wearing Italian jerseys? I want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Some day I'll get my hands on a German, Spanish, and the new Italian jersey.

mania Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 I would love see them win a posting bid for a player, because if nothing else, I think it would lead to a Japanese script. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I know the White Sox wear green jerseys for their annual Halfway to St. Patrick's Day promotion (yes, seriously).I know the Mets wore St. Patty's jerseys this year and I know the BoSox have worn them, but I'm not sure if you include Spring Training jerseys. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be back to look for pics as they're added.I'm holding out until the Brewers have a jersey that is written in Hebrew! "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The Rays always do one, but I haven't heard anything about this year yet. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Really wish other teams would do what the Brewers do, and do other jerseys than just Spanish.Many countries and players from countries have made baseball great. I'm really surprised they haven't done a Japanese jersey with the influx of Japanese players over the years. I think that would be cool, but since that only panders to one country, rather than Spanish pandering to alot of countries, it might not happen.I bet if the Mets did an Italian jersey and Irish jersey, they would sell better than the "los mets" jerseys.

Gothamite Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yeah, but there is for all the ethnic jerseys they've worn so far, or are planning I wear. Persoanlly, I think the "ethnic jersey" thing is silly at best, but if they're going to to do it they might as well tie in to something worthwhile. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

OnWis97 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You list the Twins throwbacks as "Minneapolis Miners". I am pretty sure it's the "Millers" unless there is some short-lived team or a short-lived name change I am unaware of.

mcrosby Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Does anyone know the Japanese word for Brewers? The best I can find is ビール which means Bīru or beer. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieboy82 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think the Nationals should do a Japanese jersey during the Cherry Blossom Festival. so long and thanks for all the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
