So the D-Backs are waiving goodbye to the purple and going with a “sandy type of red with black trim”….good ridance. Are they purposely trying to copy the Astros? And if I recall, someone a month or so ago posted that they were working on a new red color scheme for an MLB team. Now it all makes sense.

I don’t care if it mirrors the Astros stitch for stitch – one less garishly dressed expansion team makes it well worth it. Though it wasn’t THAT long ago, I think it stands as a sign of those times that the D’backs, Marlins, Rockies and D’rays all were born dressed like clowns (and I’d like to think that it stands as a sign of THESE times that the Nationals were born into quite dapper and tasteful unis). Though most of them have come a little way toward fixing those mistakes (the solid black Marlins top, for example, is a step in the right direction – now if they can only see the obvious and do something about that teal….), I’m thrilled to see an organization coming face-to-face with the aesthetic disasters of it’s past by starting fresh.

Now, while you’re at it, ditch the pin stripes (home AND away – don’t try to be sneaky about it), sew some sleeves onto the tops (that goes for every one of those misguided teams who somehow muster the dignity to run out onto the field wearing those potato sacks – I’m lookin’ at YOU, Cincinnati!) and dump the campy southwest design in the “A.”

After these requirements have been met, then you can get to work trying to build something that resembles a real life big league bullpen.

Huh. I don’t hear anyone complaining about the logo creep on Maria’s outfit…

Maria had logo creep? i hadn’t noticed, i was falling in love with her……..tennis game. yeah thats it

So, open question….

I was reading the ESPN article today and noticed that “Mom’s” (or perhaps a “Super Senior Sorority Girl), NCAA patch seems to have been covered over: Aggie Patch

I know the NCAA has all kinds of weird rules. What, was she out of eligibility?

‘Mom’ is wearing an off-the-rack jersey from the team store. Notice that that sleeves are loose and there’s the manufacturer’s tag on her hip.

The Nike template is not just a D-I problem. Look what they’ve done to my Division II school:

Also forgot to mention that it looks like St Cloud couldn’t figure out in the before shot if they wanted to be a Reebok or Russell branded team.

St. Cloud State is not a school! THIS is a SCHOOL! And this is a real Jersey. Better hope they don’t turn over your hockey program to Nike too. GO SEAWOLVES!!!

Fairbanks has won the Goveners Cup 5 years in a row. And has cooler uniforms.
