BigBubba Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Warning: Unpopular OpinionThis is a dumb idea and I hope it doesn't ever become a trend/more than a one-time thing. The D-Backs/Nats/Rockies/Marlins should never do this. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raysfan12 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 As long as they wear that uniform for one night I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy! Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If you compare it with other uniforms of '79 (White Sox, Pirates, Blue Jays, Mariners, Astros), it fits in PERFECTLY.

Sodboy13 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If you compare it with other uniforms of '79 (White Sox, Pirates, Blue Jays, Mariners, Astros), it fits in PERFECTLY.My problem is that, down to the curved front panel on the hat, it's a straight rip of the '79 Padres. If the alternate history we're working with here is that the Rays were a minor league affiliate of San Diego in 1979, then I'm fine with it. If not, then this is cool-looking, but lazy.Probably still buying the hell out of that hat.

drdougfresh Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sweet. I've always loved that pullover-era look for the Tigers.The Rays TBTC look? Not so much. But hey, they'll wind up making us look really good. Can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hmmm...take off the front numbers and it's not too bad. It's fun and most certainly fits the era. I will say this (neither bad nor good, just a random observation), the first thing I thought of when I saw the cap was a Webelos cap.Obviously not the marks, I think mostly because it's a navy cap with a powder blue panel and a touch of gold. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

Jcn92 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I would like it a lot more if it were not for the number. I feel like the number makes it look to cluttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorcerer77 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If you compare it with other uniforms of '79 (White Sox, Pirates, Blue Jays, Mariners, Astros), it fits in PERFECTLY.I think it's a mixed bag, the Rays uniform fits into the time period, and I can understand the fun aspect to it all.But whenever I think back to older style uniforms, the images are of teams and players. Whether it was the World Champion Pirates, or Dave Winfield of the Padres, or Nolan Ryan of the Astros, at least there was the historical connection. With the Rays, there is no tradition, so it's an empty feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnivore Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I love it. I always appreciated their past use of the St. Petersburg Pelicans jersey, those pinstripes looked outstanding...but this is a fun idea and when you play in that mausoleum of a stadium you need any hook you can get.

crashcarson15 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'd snatch one of those hats up in an instant if it was a true front-paneled cap like the Jays' old duds and Orioles' current ones. I hate the style like on those 70s Padres ones.Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesfan16 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Beautiful. The only thing I don't like is the wordmark. The 'y' looks like an upside-down h and the citrus in the "a" is just plain out distracting. Still, this is a great double-blue look for a time when it didn't seem tacky.
