The St. Louis baseball marketplace was crowded with STL's during those years, the St. Louis Browns also featured the interlocking STL on their caps and St. Louis on their road uniforms. http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/exhibits/online_exhibits/dressed_to_the_nines/detail_page.asp?fileName=al_1952_stlouis.gif&Entryid=838 Additonally, the STL was chainstitched beautifully on the left front chest of the Browns warm-up jackets. http://www.dugout-memories.com/browns.html So the Cardinals, one can only summize, used some integrity and bailed on anything connected with their once arch-rvial Brownies. Interesting if we'd see more research and less self promotion!

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 03:06:53 +0000 http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2006/10/26/card-trick/#comment-17278 My Kenny Rogers column was briefly mentioned by a caller on WFAN’s Skipper and Gilligan show yesterday (apologies to Phil Mushnick for stealing his joke), so I called the station to tell them I’d be happy to discuss the matter on the air. Got connected to a producer and could almost feel his eyes glazing over as I explained the Rogers situation to him — a card-carrying member of the Doesn’t Get It™ camp. Mike and the Mad Dog from the WFAN dissected the story and did a terrific job investigating the images from earlier in the season. The story is all about the hand not the hat. Sorry.

Reyes' hat also did this in the regular season. You know, the season in which they didn't "win enough." But the bookies are happy, Cardinals are WORLD CHAMPIONS in 5. I see it too.

Does anyone have MLBtv or DVR to get that screen shot?

And the bird on the bat, as well as the navy hat with a red bill is founded deep in Cardinal tradition. What I would like to see is the Sunday cap being worn on the road again. They only wear it at home. When it was first introduced in 1999, I remember seeing them wear it on the road a few times. It looked great with the road grays. But for some reason, it has become a home-only hat. Sorry for the extreme bold text on my comment above. I obviously clicked something by accident. Go Cards. They win tonight, they can wear anything they want next year... Okay that's not true, but as much as I love uni's, I love my birds more.

However, the idea of colored alternates, except <a href="http://rpknfan.bravehost.com/myPictures/smith.jpg" rel="nofollow">powder blue</a> (looked better on the eerie green glow of astroturf, I digress) is laughable.

I like everything about the Boston alternates. The lace-up neck line reminds me of <a href="http://www.celebsquotes.com/b/bobby-orr/bobby-orr.jpg" rel="nofollow">Bobby Orr</a> except for one thing: learn how to tie the laces across, and not wear a bow at the end. Equipment mangaers, take note: I'm putting you on notice. Fix the laces on the neck. You're in charge of jerseys. Make them right. Also, gotta hand it to the Barney Rubble Hairpieces for winning their 10th straight game to open the season, and tie the Maple Leafs' record. Kudos to Lindy Ruff and Darcy Regier, as well as the players in the Barney Rubble Hairpieces' organization. If they can beat the Thrashers on Saturday night, they'll be the hottest team to start an NHL season. Atlanta is 3-0-1 away from home, so this tilt on Saturday should be a doozy. I'm out. Later, gators! Since I loves me some hockey, here’s my take on a few things.
