phutmasterflex Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The Angels are only wearing the red belts and cleats with the red alternate jersey at Home. The normal black belts & cleats are still worn with it on the Road. The Angels used to have a very solid set, but with the team name on the roads, the red-on-red alternate, the patch overkill, and now this, they have fallen from grace.Fallen... Angels? Go A's!

CubsFanBudMan Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Right. So the uniform is now all about him, not the team.That's not what I what I said. It's just a black t-shirt and he still wears red sleeves. What's the problem? I would be willing to bet there's not any resentment in the Angels' locker room because Pujols likes his black t-shirt.I'm not sure MLB has a uniform code for undershirts. Yes, they have official suppliers, as we all remember from the lightning bolt and dot matrix versions under vests, but I seem to remember Juan Pierre wearing a camo undershirt for some reason or another when he was with the Cubs.EDIT: Pierre copied the team-color camo idea from Todd Helton: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060417&content_id=1405284&vkey=news_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chcJacque Jones and Carlos Zambrano joined in. The supplier? An army surplus store in Mesa, AZ. Far from official.I think unofficial slogan undershirts also happen a lot at the team level... didn't the Pirates do their own "Finish" undershirts last year or the year before? First one that comes to mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one that comes to mind...There is a rule about undershirts that applies to pitchers (can't be distracting), but nothing mandated league-wide. Some teams have rules regarding colors, but those are strictly team-by-team. I don't know if MLB has a rule about the manufacturer's logo being visible (like only Nike's is allowed or something similar). The only visible logo I remember seeing recently is the neck Swoosh.

josh106802 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Forgive me if this is old news, but today the Cubs are wearing their normal blue jerseys with their new, alternate road pants. I think this might be the first time for that combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Is this the first time a throwback uniform has featured a contemporary logo on the sleeve? Also, minus a million points if they actually pair it with the regular Diamondbacks cap. I was really looking forward to their throwback game against the Brewers. But looking at this, the Brew Crew won't throw back to the American Association days but maybe a Negro League team from Cleveland. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

cappital92 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 By chance, are the Orioles coming to Wrigley at all? A Baltimore Terrapins game would be amazing. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that city had a Federal League team in 1914 and could have lent some credibility to a throwback uniform.Lets call this what it is. Next Wednesday the Cubs and Diamondbacks are going to play dress up. Leave it to the Cubs to screw up the centennial of their own ballpark. They're already off to a good start.

That would be a great look, I wonder if they've ever worn those as throwbacks before. Since it's the O's 60th anniversary they'll probably just wear one of their "regular" throwbacks. Although the Cubs will be wearing their 1994 alternate unis against Baltimore so they'll probably don something from that era too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a true throwback, more of a fauxback, but this...thing exists:Hard to see in that photo, but there is a Mr. Met patch (like the one on the alts now) on a jersey that was basically an early 1900s Giants jersey.EDIT: Still not great, but another look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I hadn't thought about that Mets jersey. Still, as you note, it's not a throwback but an "sorta inspired by" design. The 1914 throwback is faithful to the original except for that Diamondbacks logo patch. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

C's Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Why the :censored: are the Diamondbacks wearing fauxbacks for this? They should tell the Cubs to :censored: off with their centennial and just wear their normal uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Better yet, why didn't the Cubs get MLB to schedule a better opponent for such a momentous anniversary celebration? We know they'll do that, since the Red Sox requested (and got) the Yankees for their stadium birthday game. Obviously there's a divisional rivalry in that one, but surely there was a better solution than this. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I mean, is it possible with it being the centennial, they will do throwbacks from different eras as the season goes on? (Even if there is, this one is terrible but if they are spreading it out, they probably just picked the weekends that worked best without regard to opponent.)
