BTW, I don’t imagine it would be too difficult to DIY those Portland undershirts.

And seriously, WTF is wrong with players like White?

Personally, I HATE the white section of those types of football socks, but there are other ways to decrease the visible white as opposed to looking like a homeless person.

Doesn’t seem like it would be too hard to bring 2 jerseys for each player on the road, especially since you have room to pack jerseys for players that don’t exist.[/quote]
It’s a lot easier for a team to pack one extra blood jersey than fifteen extra backup jerseys. Fifteen large shirts takes up more space than you might think.[/quote]

A lot easier? Really? What, one extra box is going to kill them? Sure, it is easier, but so much so that it would actually be a real issue to bring more? Seems like it’s more of a “we shouldn’t have to, so we don’t” issue than an actual “we can’t”.

If Nike can make these, then they can do it for shirt sleeves on MLB undershirts. Three stripes don’t always mean “Adidas.” Because Nike will simply put a swoosh near the stripes, thus negating any identification with their corporate rival.

I think the new ones would look a lot better than the old ones if they accented the collar and armholes and wore real shorts. Those green jerseys were too busy.[/quote]
Since I’m sure I’ll take some heat for that, let me clarify: Michigan State uses a very heavy font for their wordmark and it’s a five letter word that extends all the way across the chest. That tends to make the jersey look very narrow, so adding a double accent on the collars and armholes, then an unbalanced double stripe on the side just crowds it in more.

The new SoD jersey has the same font, but it changes the stripe to a dashed line and moves it further back so it doesn’t infringe on the space for the wordmark. Having no accent on the collar or armholes does make it look like the wordmark is at seas on the front of the jersey, so adding that little bit of color would anchor the eye to the players’ chests.

They also need to wear shorts above the knee.

That’s strange. The Tourists were only affiliated with the Astros until 1993, so either the date of the card is wrong on the site or they used a two year old picture.

Benny the Bull prob has some really pissy people in the office that he has to put up with. I’m the mascot at D2 Valdosta State and only one of the uni’s I have is up to date and at that is the old football one from last year with holes and stuff in it. Not even the right freaking number. Our Guy’s basketball team took the floor monday night with Sarcuse’s style SOD. I hate how the stripes are only on the pants. lol I thought that in the mascot world it was only D2 and down that you didn’t get the right uni, but i guess CHi-town hates mascots too.

The Memphis player had NNOB jersey because his original jersey was torn in the first half and he switched to the backup jersey at half time.

They are so bad that it makes the game hard to watch. It turns great athletic plays into eyesores.

This tight on top and dress on bottom is a honestly a traveshamockery.

Georgetown’s unis were a disgrace. Same with Michigan State.[/quote]

You are correct. In recent years whether my dwindling interest in hoops (which was once about my favorite sport) has been tied to the declining quality of play, which I think is tied to the declining quality of uniforms. Pretty soon you are going to see players running up and down the court dribbling with one hand and holding their pants up with the other. I miss the days of Magic, Dr. J., and Larry (though they all could have used longer shorts).[/quote]

I agree with everything except what you said at the end in parentheses. Doc, Magic and Larry had it right. They’re called “shorts” after all.

Indeed, thought about referencing that promo.

However, if one eschews the pocket silk altogether it eliminates the dilemma that develops when one pushes a basic, simple ensemble into an area where such embellishments now become relevant. And one doesn’t always want to do that, does one.

Leaving a classic look as a classic look will work. When one begins adding accoutrements and other appointments the issue becomes…where to stop. What’s too little and what’s too much?

Ah, yes, is uncharted fashion territory from which extracation is difficult.

Hey, guys rob banks and convenience stores wearing pants so big, and wearing them so far below their butts, that they trip and fall over them…resulting in their apprehension.

No. There’s really nothing that can be done make that jersey look better.

Oh, wait. There is something that can be done. Don’t wear it during games.[/quote]

Why? What is so bad about wearing colored jerseys in baseball? Give me a reason besides “tradition”. Heck, if a pitcher wearing white gloves is a visual distraction for the batter and illegal, how the hell is a guy dressed in white from head to toe even considered acceptable? By the logic of banning white gloves, I’d think colored uniforms should be the standard.[/quote]
It’s a personal preference thing. I like a lot of the colored tops, but I think this specific version is a problem because solid color over pins looks messy. If they had plain white pants it would look ten times better.[/quote]
Solid white pants would help, but link.

The walking cub logo is OK, I guess. but why is the NL logo on it as a sleeve patch? It’s like they decided at the last minute that they NEEDED a sleeve patch but they were already using the primary jersey’s sleeve patch as the chest insignia so they just grabbed a design that was lying around.

Hmmm… what else?

The red numbers/letters on the back look like garbage.

Oh, and the fact that the cap always comes off as a darker color doesn’t help it look any better.[/quote]

I agree that if the cap looks darker it doesn’t work, and the numbers could be white trimmed in blue instead of vice versa…

…but I like the NL patch. To me it’s what saves the jersey. I’d like to see some other teams use that (not all teams, mind you).

I guess I’ll agree on using plain white pants as well…unless they use Ricko’s pinstriped sleeves.

Not until they redo it to put the Pirates in the vests and black caps they’d have been wearing in June of 1970.

Yeah, how to take the notion of “vintage inspired,” screw it up, and then try to justify it. And make everyone think you did something innovative and good.

Why doesn’t anyone see this for what it really is? It has absolutely NOTHING to do with college football tradition. It is a Nike promotion/boondoggle, pure and simple. Period.

Yes, but isn’t it nice to know that if you dig long enough you can probably justify anything?

The “Nudity in the Olympics” Group lives in that world, I think.

Or at least longs for the good old days of the (ahem) Caribous of Colorado. Y’know, if the Caribous wore white cowboy hats they’d look a lot like the dancer in the famous “I’m your worst nightmare” scene in 48 HOURS, wouldn’t they.

the interwebs are a wonderful thing[/quote]

yes, but that could easily led you to NSFW ville.

I have an old Portland Lucky Beavers t-shirt, I think from Ebbets Field Flannels. Thumbs up.

This pains me as well. But imagine what might have been…my Grandfather (Tommy Heath) used to manage the Beavers. He died in 1966, the year I was born, and later in that year my Grandmother went on a television show in LA and she took all of his uniforms from all the teams he was affiliated with through the years to show the audience. Columbus Redbirds, St. Louis Browns, Milwuakie Brewers, Portland Beavers, Hawaii Islanders, Sacramento Solons, San Francisco Seals and the Angels. Now, guess what happened…yes, all of it, stolen and never recovered. Not only do I onlyhave a few photo’s of him, but I have nothing really tangible to hold onto. It hurts every day, honestly. So, that has served you no purpose, apologies. I’ll look through the photo’s and see if I can find some obscure stuff. Oh, also, when we moved from NH back to Oregon, my wife GAVE AWAY the barbecue that the Beavers team bought my Grandfather for Father’s Day. It had a Beavers metal plate on it dedicating it to him and it had personalized tools with mini baseball bat handles. The only thing that needs to happen now is to have all my photo’s burn in a house fire. Most are in a safe deposit bos, no worries. Great site, I hope I can help out.
