JayJaxon Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 All the pictures we have seen of the Red Sox jerseys for today have the straight camo pattern but in the game there is a blue outline around the script. So there is at least one jersey that looks different than what we thought originally. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 So this will probably get lost in all the camo posts, but I was wondering, who foots the bill for the road team's throwback equipment/uniforms? I know the teams themselves would fund a throwback that they have in rotation or if there is a "theme" game such as civil rights games, but, for instance, the D-Backs having to play for the Cubs celebration of 100 years of losing at Wrigley. Did the D-Backs have to pay to play dress up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The home teams arrange the throwbacks, and I understand they pay for it as well. But many times, the road team sells merchandise. And they of course keep the jerseys and auction or sell them off. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd77 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Has anybody from the Marlins ever discussed why they ditched the "colors of Miami" theme less than a year from releasing to being a primarily black team?I don't get it either. I think they could do some nice things with the blue, yellow and orange without the black. Admittedly, the logo has grown on me since it's inception and I don't think it's that bad, but I only like the orange jersey and hat out of everything they have right now. I'd rather see a blue or bright yellow cap instead of the black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilch Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 So on the camo jerseys are the numbers kiss cut? I would assume they are on the teams with 2 color numbers, but what about the teams that don't have 1 color numbers..... I'm guessing clear thread?

Hat Boy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 All the pictures we have seen of the Red Sox jerseys for today have the straight camo pattern but in the game there is a blue outline around the script. So there is at least one jersey that looks different than what we thought originally. The Sox numbers are normally outlined in navy blue, so I think they just kept that with the camo pattern. Thankfully they did, otherwise the letters/numbers would have been illegible on the gray uniform.Braves had an outline as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouj Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hopefully someone who has access to the style guides can answer this one...Is the "Taco Bell" Padres number font the same as the Mariners' throwbacks? Are there others that use it as well? And how does this font compare to the "NCAA Gothic" rounded style font?They are similar but not the same. You can really see the difference in the numbers 5, 7, & 9. Not sure what NCAA Gothic is. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 How does wearing modern day digital camo (or any camo for that matter) honor those who died serving our country? Is it 'Memorial' Day, or just general "military day"?

Gothamite Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It's supposed to be "Memorial Day." But somewhere along the line, perhaps when the first person realized how lucrative jingoism can be, it became "General Military day #3." The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

uuh70 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I understand if MLB wants to wear camo on 4th of July or on 9/11 but Memorial Day is where I take exceptionI really don't understand why they can't wear this and leave the camo to people who actually go to war and isn't just playing a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
