nman90 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I tried finding it but was unsucsessful, can anyone please re-post the link to the Sox wearing 83' throwbacks this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Won't officially be announced until I suspect Sox Fest at the end of the month. But EVERY indication is that's what next year's throwback alt will be, from the team's revealed Cooperstown Collection stuff for 2013 to the T-Shirt they're giving away with the Sox Fest packages.

TheRevTy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ok, Showtime, whoever else is in the know, are the Rays still going ahead with adding an official alt cap? Any idea when we'll know what it is for sure? Do teams have press conferences or formal announcements for something as minor as a previously used hat becoming an official alternate?

CanesCop86 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I cant believe we still dont have a real clue when the new BP/alternate hats go on sell. They should have already released them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tohasbo Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Saw the logo sheet for the Rays and it looks as if the Fauxback they wore last season will be worn next season. Nothing in any of the logo sheets hinted at anything toward BP logos but that might be something added later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think that they are supposed to go on sale sometime in March. That was what Minorleagues.com told me when I asked them about when the new BP caps were supposed to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mere fact that they have a nod to the wild uniforms of the seventies, rather than going with the NHL method of "Ye Olde Schoole" with vintage white, speaks volumes. They know they can't out tradition the Yankees and Red Sox in Tampa Bay, land of the snow birds, so they went the other direction and try to pull in the young hipsters.Genius marketing.

Like the plaid hat for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevTy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah, I walked into that one. Although, in The Extra 2% (a book about their franchise) it says their preferred name when they dropped the Devil Rays moniker was "Florida Nine". As in Mudville Nine. That's pretty unconventional. I agree that their current overall look is quite bland. At least they try stuff like the plaid, the fauxbacks, and now the sunburst BP hat to liven things up (looking at you, San Diego).

TheRevTy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 How did I not use it correctly? The Rays majorly poked fun at the trend of throwback uniforms by creating a throwback that not only never existed (nor had any possibility of existing), but also went out of their way to honor an era which arguably had the ugliest uniforms in baseball history. The only way it could've been more hipster would be if they mandated handlebar mustaches, drank PBR, and all in-stadium music was from bands you've probably never heard of.In fact, maybe this is all part of a plan to relocate to Portland.

The Mojo Maniac Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 In fact, maybe this is all part of a plan to relocate to Portland.I wouldn't be opposed to this. So let me get this straight. The Rays are adding an alternate cap (supposedly the fauxback used last season) but have no apparent plans for another alternate jersey? Or am I missing something here? From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.
