Side piping and new stripe patterns on ML uniforms

[zm1283]

The blue shirts now look like powder blue softball shirts. Not a fan of getting rid of the polo shirts with the black collar.

I'm for pitching all the baby blue shirts (powder, softball, polo, or whatever name you wish to call baby blue) 'cause they're fruity lookin'.

There, I said it.

And there is no way on God's green Earth that any of you manly men would be wear this color if your heroes on TV didn't.

Me, I'd like a Kelly green jersey. Something that would match the grass. Or a brick red. Not the vivid Dalco red, but more like the wall in Wrigley.

Now there, is a fruity suggestion, or two.

The black is barely passable; the polo is awful.

The broken trim stripe on the sleeve is stupid looking, and the trim stripe on the side is needless and also stupid looking.

At what point do these guys begin to look like they're in their pajamas?

Leyland doesn't look that hot either in his maternity jacket.

Let me guess -- YOU'RE the one who bought the OfficialsChoice shirts in weird colors -- how many chocolate and maroon shirts do you have?

Personally, I don't think the stripe on the side looks bad. I don't understand at all the half stripe on the sleeve.

Personally, I'll stick with my old MiLB blues, though I am kinda bummed I'm missing out on the new black unis for this year with the MiLB patch on the pocket. I'll just have to have someone send me one.

No chocolate, as brown and gray just don't go. I do have two of the early maroon shirts, with the white stripe on the color. They look really good with charcoal pants.

I'm sure none of you wear baby blue golf shirts with gray slacks, unless you're golfing. It's just not a good look. For you "husky" guys, it's less than flattering. You need to think what looks good with the charcoal slacks. The maroon actually looks pretty good.

Think outside the MLB box, and don't worry about what your heros are wearing. They wore maroon coats with white turtlenecks not that long ago. These guys are not fashion leaders.

These new shirts are ugly. Don't buy them.

The maroon coats were gorgeous, IMO. It's the one thing I would love to own, although I'd probably never wear it on a field.

Most of us wear what's allowed. For HS here, it's navy or light blue. Better the polo blue with dark grey pants than navy. I think the navy looks ghastly with dark grey pants.

If you wouldn't wear it on the field, just where would you wear a maroon plate coat? Just around the house? The mall?

I'd hang it in my office, next to an old balloon protector.

What happens if you wear what's not "allowed"? Fewer or no assignments? School won't pay? Here, state tournament assignments are withheld. If you're on the recommended list, a rep comes out to evaluate you. Prohibited colors automatically disqualify you from further consideration. By the time districts are over, summer ball (with better pay and better players) has started, so missing the state tourney isn't much of a "penalty".

I have some Cliff Keene whites with red and blue trim that I think look sensational with the charcoal slacks. At the HS level, I wear whatever color I effin' well please. Sometimes it's whatever happens to be clean after working eight days in a row.

The assignments keep coming and the checks all clear, though, and that's what's important.

Randy: are you sure that's Leyland? It sure looks like him, but there isn't a Marlboro anywhere in sight.

Good point.
