Jungle Jim Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Why don't they just wear a flapless helmet, like the base coaches do?Probably because they might bounce around and occasionally fall of when you pitchTrue, but even a strap under the chin to hold it on would look better than this. "Anything" would look better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 In terms of aesthetics, wouldn't wearing a batting helmet make more sense? Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 In terms of aesthetics, wouldn't wearing a batting helmet make more sense?The only thing I can think of is the heavier weight of the helmet. I don't know how light that hat is but it looks lighter than a batting helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveindc Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 In terms of aesthetics, wouldn't wearing a batting helmet make more sense?A modified helmet with ear flaps would have worked. A regular one with flaps would look better than this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOech714 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Looks like the All Star hats are navy (NL), red (AL) and have the team's logos on themhttp://m.lids.com/MLB/Philadelphia-Phillies/20633087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I stopped at the Rays team store in downtown Tampa today and saw a new cap I hadn't seen before. It was the same style as the fauxback, but the front panel was white, and the rest of the cap was Columbia blue, and I believe the brim was navy. I assumed it was a fashion cap, but I thought I overheard one of the employees mention to another customer that they got "the new throwback caps, both home and away." Did I miss something? I know the Rays are supposed to be wearing the fauxbacks in Chicago against the Cubs in August, but I hadn't heard anything about a different cap.- Well the fauxbacks were work on Saturday the 21st with no changes.- Fauxbacks in Wrigley? Haven't heard about that at all.- If some kind of new fauxback is yet to debut, keep an eye on Sept. 6th against the O's as theres an Evan Longoria 80s hair band bobblehead that game.

GriffinM6 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Did no one notice the Pirates and Cubs wore throwbacks yesterday? I thought Pittsburgh's road jersey's couldn't get any better, until I saw the wordmark on yesterday's throwback. The arc style wordmark is much better than the arched one. Cubs with zippers and that beautiful breast logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yankees Old-Timers wearing BP hats for the second year in a row. Like last year, they feature an Old Timers Day patch, but new this year is a hashtag on the back http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=35513156&cp=1452360.1452526.709991Why, of all things, would they have their old-timers wear this cap?! It's bad enough when retired players are brought back and dressed in the team's current jersey rather than the one they actually wore. In this case, however, the Yankees still use the same cap all of them wore when they played. So, why bring out this monstrosity, when none of them ever wore it?

But the cap didn't match because they mistakenly made it navy.EDIT: 2008 photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warthog Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Personally, I think the Cubs current home uniform is one of the nicest in MLB. I would like to see them bring back as an alternate their '84 road uniform - or at least just the '84 road jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterchaoss Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 So the Dodgers played the Royals last nights wearing their grey Alts while the royals wore their whites. I don't know who thought it was a good considering they look almost exactly the same. So dose anyone know why the royals deiced to copy the Dodgers look? I cant think of any connection between the the two franchise besides the fact that Jackie Robinson played in KC with the monarchs. Kershaw is GOD! Kershaw is LIFE! Kershaw is ALL!

phutmasterflex Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Copy? If the Royals were a red team, you wouldn't say it. Coincidental. There are other teams with a cursive script. They just don't use blue, whereas the Royals do Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thicker blue-white-blue striping on the cuffs, collar, and pants would help set them off a bit, as would a nice bluish-grey road uniform. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The Royals do look an awful lot like the Dodgers. At a glance, the main difference (beyond the script) is the Royals' front number is blue, while the Dodgers use red. I'm not sure why the Royals appeared to model their look after the Dodgers, much the same way the White Sox modeled their home jerseys after the Yankees a bit. I guess they felt the Dodgers had a good, clean look that functioned as a good template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
