Minor League Theme Nights


mania

Recommended Posts

This week, on the Logocast, our Top 5 is going to be Worst Minor League Theme Jerseys.

Originally, as kind of a bookend to last week's Top 5 Favorite Minor League Baseball Identities, it was going to be Top 5 Ugliest Minor League Theme Night Jerseys, focusing on baseball.

But as soon as I did that, I realized that it would be leaving out all of the really wretched minor league hockey theme nights.

So now, there is no sport segregation, so long as it's minor league and ugly as hell.

Which do you think should make our lists? And which that we might end up hating on do you really like?

Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

I actually own one of these. I put down the minimum bid at a fundraiser for a school where I used to teach and no one else bid on it!

They also did a "Friends of the NRA" jersey night. I can't find a picture. It was around Christmas, and for the first period I thought they were Santa Claus jerseys from my view in the balcony until they made an announcement about them!

And some more...

And this one from the NW Arkansas Naturals (I do enjoy the alternate universe what if nights)?

The Memphis Redbirds threw back to Chicks jerseys:

Yeesh

My only question is: Whyyyy? The Ems are better than this garbage. (Well, maybe they're not.)

I hope they introduced all the batters with "C'mon down!"

Those Price is Right jerseys are fantastic, with the details down to the nametag.

Though my favorite has to be Rod Blagojevich night with the Las Vegas Wranglers and Bakersfield Condors

and even the goal judges apparently got into it with robes and wigs. Classic!

I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Dedicating a game a convicted felon is kinda tacky, IMO. Does this mean the Penguins should have a "Jerry Sandusky Night"? Or how about they dress the Avalanche up as the Joker? :wacko:

If I remember correctly (and its a unique touch to the jersey), didn't those Grizzlies jersey nametags come blank and the players wrote in their name as a contestant would? I can't remember if I read that on uniwatch or something.

"The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!"
