Bouj Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 @phutmasterflex I was just wondering if there was a method to cool base or polyester...especially for a team that has all cool base (and in the Rays case) switched the original fauxback to cool base. Me personally? I don't read what the material is. I just buy the jersey I want because it's not like I can tell them to send one style or another.Because when I buy A's jerseys, some of them (gray, gold, black) have both cool base and polyester. That's my preference over cool base. But the newer one, like the green alts this year are only cool base. That's what I was wondering. I guess not all teams have that option. I would assume that the throwbacks would be polyester. But I guess with what you just said, they don't, which is odd. I assume that newer designs going forward this season are going to be all cool base and anything that was designed before probably has both as an option. Oh and tonight, Braves vs Athletics 1914 throwbacksThe Poly or COOLBASE thing has gotten more hit-or-miss in relation to throwbacks. For instance, the Astros Tequila Sunrise jerseys are poly, but the Negro League Eagles throwbacks were COOLBASE. The Orioles are a COOLBASE-only team, but the 1954 throwbacks are poly. The White Sox and Pirates both went to COOLBASE on their Sunday throwbacks. It might be a case of one-offs being poly and regular-use throwbacks being COOLBASE, but it isn't a hard or fast rule.And something like 12 teams, give or take 2-3, still have both poly and COOLBASE available for their regular jerseys.

Tigers6884 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Am I he only one who thinks that wool should be the material of choice when a throwback uniform from that era is being worn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 For you lovers of striped socks, the Orioles seem to have unofficially adopted the socks from their 1954 throwback uniforms.

WSU151 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 For you lovers of striped socks, the Orioles seem to have unofficially adopted the socks from their 1954 throwback uniforms.I was thinking those were just the same socks that Sergio Romo (and other SF Giants) wears, but nope. Stripes on the Orioles' set are more towards the lower calf. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawalkingcorpse Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Royals will be wearing the 1974 uniforms on August 30th against the Indians. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel79 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Wish more teams would offer striped socks. I think they look great over the solid socks or stirrup look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 While I really like those O's socks, I kind of like their 1955-sometime in the 70's striped socks a little more, even though it is a color swap of the old Red Sox striped socks.The added orange really gives a punch to the uniform. Likewise, the Braves could really benefit from the return of the Northwestern stripe socks, again to balance out the colors on the uniform (look at Andruw Jones).These striping patterns are all designs that can work well on solid socks, and they can help make classic looks seem a little more complete (Red Sox, Braves, Orioles, and Pirates would all look better with their old sock stripes). They aren't essential, but they do present an improvement. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah, striped socks are where it's at.However, don't give players the option of wearing striped or solid-coloured socks. That ends up looking sloppy and all-over-the-place, like a beer-league softball team that had only a few players willing to pay extra for custom socks. Have everybody wear them, or no one at all. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Was at the Diamondbacks-Padres game and I never fully realized how much I dislike the "D-Backs" jersey.I don't like the nickname on the jerseys and the logo, number and NOB are different colours so it looks disjointed.

goforbroke Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yankees used a single-color, all-navy version of the bat and Uncle Sam hat logo today during Joe Torre day. Wonder if they are finally trying sync up their logos a bit and do away with the royal and red version?Also- white sox in all grey on the road! Nice :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice :-)Do you have a link to the Yankees all-navy logo? I'd love to see them ditch the red.I don't think it's anything to get too worked up about. It's something they've done before, it's just a one-color version of the logo for simplified printing. I have the exact same version on my Jeep, but the navy parts are transparent. It's not a new logo. Just a flat version of the more traditional logo. Which is good. I love the real top hat logo.This single color version has been around for a while, I think I even have a hat with it somewhere. Here's some versions of it available: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Why should they? The logo's great with it. I can understand wanting them to change the royal blue in the logo to navy, but not the red.
