At some point in the last six months, weren’t we promised the banishment of those damn red Pirates jerseys? Seriously — wasn’t that a winter fan-fest sort of thing?
Well I’m here to say, “What the HELL? Why are they back?” And if the end of the line wasn’t supposed to be until after this year, I’m here to say, “Can’t you just stop now? The Pirates’ season is over already. The next five months are merely a formality.”

Brian, it’s refreshing to see an early riser like myself. The red Bucs jerseys look like bad bowling shirts.
*Bryan – sorry, sure that happens more than you care for.
When did Jeff Kent grow a beard and get traded to the Phillies? Seriously, those red vest things have to go. I can’t imagine any Pirate fan dropping link for one of those things.
If they want to wear a vest, they should go link route.

Thanks for reminding me, Phil. I love looking at his projected totals for the 2008 season: 0 wins, 34 losses (or $426,470 per loss). But the glass is half full – he brought the stirrups back.
So this is a bit random, but I was browsing through the website for “670 The Score” (Chicago’s main sports talk radio station) and I went to their pro shop to look at authentic jerseys for the Cubbies. I noticed that the jersey they had as an example was that of link. Pierre hasn’t played for the Cubs since the 2006 season. I find it curious as to why there is even a picture of Pierre’s jersey, let alone it be used as an “example jersey” while trying to sell them.

The only thing worse than that red Pirate jersey is the black underbill on the Philly cap. Why can’t light gray remain an option? When one is only allowed a black underbill, one is only allowed a hat with colors that go with black. And black does NOT go with everything. The thought of that black underbill with the royal blue button on top is hideous. Tantamount to the Mets current (yet longstanding) mishap. Those black underbills don’t look good with any combination. Can I still find gray ones? You know what I’m sayin. See what I’m sayin. Know what I’m sayin.

All the teams have undershirts that are grey on the torso with team colored sleeves. It’s more noticeable with the vests, but sometimes you can see the grey near the neck of a loose jersey.

re: Pirates’ red vest. Never can decide which song they should break into: “76 Trombones” or “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
Gotta be one or the other.
Some alternative jerseys – have that look that says: “We’ll try and damm color combo just to sell a few more at the concession stands……. this is definitely one of them.
On a totally separate subject – every year at about this time I say a little prayer , that the Kansas City Chiefs will not change their uniforms. Not that it’s the greatest jersey – but here was the late 60’s/early 70’s kind of cool new color combo – There were the Chiefs , Atlanta Flames and Atlanta Hawks. For me it was the Flames that as a kid fascinated me. Now with the exception of the Chiefs ,those teams added black and over time, the red/yellow was either phased out (Calgary Flames) or completely changed the Hawks> But the Chiefs remain, oh they occaisionally change their pant color – and they have an easy to excuse to add black – afterall the outline of the arrowhead, and here’s hoping for another year they resist those dark forces.

You don’t know anything. Most people in Pittsburgh hate Penn State. Sidney Crosby requested the whiteout to see how it would look. They probably did white because (a) they had been giving out white towels the entire playoffs; (b) gold would look too much like a steelers game; and (c) black would look terrible. So they come from a 3-goal deficit to win during the whiteout – looks like it was a success.
