PhantomDreamer Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 White Sox are wearing the 83 throwbacks again today, and with the 83 hats.83 hats? That picture was from 2013. When the "1983" throwback uniforms were named as an official alternate this season, as opposed to just Sunday home games, a new cap with a navy front panel was introduced too.From yesterday. Hats and helmets are not the same thing.From todayThank you for including an image from the game Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirwuf Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 And there was no navy cap introduced. It was a BP cap like the one pictured above with the batterman in place of the Sox wordmark and was supposedly going to be worn with these throwbacks. See dirwulf's picture a page back in this thread.Yes, this is the hat that they said was going to be worn with the alts, for some reason that plan changed and they've only worn them during BP...

They did it last season, but I'm not sure what's going on this season, either way I like it.The Brewers are on a crazy hot streak right now, winning 9 in a row. Baseball players tend to be superstitious, no wonder they're sticking with those. Ah, if only they had a retro-themed road jersey we'd be set. We can only hope that they manage to make the playoffs on a similar streak and wear their best color scheme all the way. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

rmackman Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Love that Milwaukee is wearing the throwback uniforms more regularly, but I still wish they'd darken the blue just a bit. Seems like the '82 uniforms that they were modeled after were indeed a little darker. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

monkeypower Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I personally don't like the BiG logo as much as the current set. It just doesn't say "Brewers" to me, heck it doesn't even say "Milwaukee" to me. It's just an M and a B made to look like a glove. It's like Milton Bradley made a baseball board game.

Why can't they just be a sports team? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the '82 uniforms that they were modeled after were indeed a little darker.You can't trust those photos as any real indicator. I have several game-used caps from that era, and the current royal blue is a fair approximation. They certainly weren't as dark as that SI cover. The Brewers started off using New Era's other royal blue (think Dodgers) but switched to the slightly lighter version by the late 1970s. As much as I'd like them to use the stock Dodger blue (especially now that the Cubs have switched from the Dodger shade to the Brewers shade), what they're using now fits in with the history.

Milwaukee's never been a city that took itself terribly seriously (insert your own joke here), so a certain amount of whimsy in the logo seems to work fine with me.
