bosox Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I'm scarred for life.....These are awful. The numbers are huge for the Phillies and solid yellow? eek....thats worse than a little brown.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampart66 Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 This is how remember the Pirates growing up as a big fan. The only thing missing are the yellow helmets with the black brim and Willie Stargell windmills at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj32 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 The Phillies wore the big numbers before they put names on the back, which I believe was 1972. My gripe with the Pirates (outside of the general uniform concept) is where are the yellow helmets with black bills? There are two slight inaccuracies with the Phils' uni. There should be no white outline on the numbers and the "baseball seam" design inside the "P" should not be there. The center of the "P" was empty until 1984.

sj32 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 One other thing on the Pirates jersey - I can't tell from these pictures but did they forget to put a number on the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooBee Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 "The Phillies wore the big numbers before they put names on the back, which I believe was 1972."Actually, the Phillies started putting names on the back in 1976, the first year they went to the NLCS. The huge numbers are very authentic looking from their early 70s jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The center of the "P" was empty until 1984.Actually, the "baseball seam" design was present inside the P on the uniforms from 1970 to 1972. (The Phillies started wearing those uniforms during their final year at Connie Mack Stadium.)However, the team was forced to remove the seam design because MLB officials said the logo on the uniform violated the rules.[Rule 1.11(e) No part of the uniform shall include a pattern that imitates or suggests the shape of a baseball.]Why they were allowed to resume using the "baseball seam" design in 1984 is a mystery to me.

sj32 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 my bad mjrbaseball - you are correct about the seam pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrbaseball Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 As for the Pirates being in all-yellow today, I wonder if they are just doing the all-yellow bit, or are they going the whole route with the mix-and-match colors?(And anyway, the Phillies were in 1971-style unis to commemorate the first year of Veterans Stadium. Why were the Pirates in 1977 uniforms?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 take this as you will, but seeing the uniforms on sportscenter highlights, the pirates' banana suits...well, i don't hate em as much as i thought i would. then again, i didn't have to grow up with em.

(The Phillies started wearing those uniforms during their final year at Connie Mack Stadium.)I was just through Okkonen's book, and it appears the caps and home jerseys went from a red color to a more maroon color in 1973. That was also the same year they started wearing those powder blue road unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosox Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 [Rule 1.11(e) No part of the uniform shall include a pattern that imitates or suggests the shape of a baseball.]I'm guessing this rule is no longer used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
