One of the best jerseys in college baseball was inspired by 80s and 90s' Padres:

I want this jersey so bad. I saw a maroon one on eBay once and fake or not I wasn't going near it because it was a size 60.

Where is this picture from? He has a green undershirt on, with green stirrups...a photo shoot?

Seton Hall also has Astros inspired unis

I have no way to verify this rumor, but when Seton Hall first started wearing the Tequila Sunrise ripoffs, they said it was because alum Craig Biggio was an Astros, and it was a nod to him. Believe that if you will.

Go Astros!

Go Texans!

Go Rockets!

Go Javelinas!

The fact that Adidas is trying to push Starkville, MS as a selling point of MSU is just laughable. There is practically nothing in Starkville other than the University.

Vegas, huh? Most players on the team are too young to (legally) participate in drinking, gambling, prostitution and blow.

Another swing and miss by Adidas.

This year's CWS now appears to be loaded with 80's copycats thanks to Adidas.

God damnit. Adidas takes these timeless retro looks and make it into another one of their fashionable "fads." Nice job ruining these classics, you tools.

Good god they can't even do consistent stripes. Hey the top ones are thin and the bottom ones are thick! Genuis.

Also Luca Caputi and Eric Tangradi used to call Wilkes-Barre Wilkes Vegas because there's nothing to do there except go to the casino lol

The Western Mustangs hockey team uses an exact copy of the Minnesota Wild's alternates, with purple in place of green obviously:

Further proof that the Minnesota Wild should never use them ever again...

Umm... I'm not 100% sure what you're referencing here but if it's the belly stripes, and the intent is to ape the old Astros' r-guts... the thin-then-thick stripe is pretty accurate.

(Personally, I kinda like it when college teams pull out an alt version of the r-guts, but I can see why it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.)

Found the image in a Google search. Have no idea what the context is - maybe an alumni game?

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
