That split Z looks like what the Phillies do as mentioned above…
When the jersey is unbuttoned it actually reads ARIZ | ZONA or
PHIL | LLIES.

IIRC, the phillies method of the three L’s is a callback to the 1950’s era Whiz Kids. I shall continue to look for photos.

Now I could be completely wrong since I don’t know whether my Phillies jersey is authentic or not. I have a good feeling it’s authentic, but whatever. On my phillies jersey it has a small strip of velcro that lines up the name. So unless you actually rip the velcro part from the patch it will stay lined up no matter how much you shake it running or whatever.

Yeah, the type is bad, but at least they aren’t purple! The font looks wanna-be metal. They should have stuck with a crest on the left. The colors are a major improvement, so give them a break on this one.

P.S. Why the hell aren’t the Blue Jays blue anymore. Does that piss anybody else off?

Yes, this pisses me off too. I’ve actually wrote the Blue Jay organziation in Toronto, no reply’s though, I think that they just don’t care about the fans. They probably have the worst uni’s in MLB. Too bad, such a nice mascot, and they’re not even displaying it. They must need some artist’s up in Canada.

It’s pretty interesting I think that in England all teams use the same ball, whereas in Germany every team uses the ball provided by a ball sponsor (usually the same company that designs the shirts). Since these balls exhibit different behavior when travelling through the air, it’s necessary for players and especially goalies to get used to the flying pattern of the respective balls the next opponent will be using. So in the final training sessions before an away game, usually the balls from the other teams ball suppliers are used. Which means, of course, that every team has an enormous amout of different ball stocked. Is there any other league that does that?

Wait… this may explain why no one said anything all day about the post. Can I get any answers as to why my post disappeared to everyone except me?

Teebz, great post.

I check at work intermittenly throughout the day and I didn’t see your post,(I read all the comments) however when I got home I checked and I saw it, post #74…very strange, very strange indeed.

This is not uni-related…but over the past couple years it has really bothered me that the 2 leagues don’t have the same number of teams…My solution: move the Diamondbacks and their new unis to the AL west and put the Astros in the NL west. This way you get an even number of teams in each league and division, and they’re still aligned geographically and they diamondbacks don’t have that much history with the NL…even though they won a world series…thoughts?

I agree wholeheartedly. It has griped me for years that the already-disadvantaged Reds have had to play in the only six-team division.

Since the blight known as interleague play is now entrenched, it wouldn’t be a big deal to have one interleague series going on at all times.

You’re right… except for the part about interleague play being a blight. Not so much. Are you just tired of hearing about the NL not being able to compete with the AL? Check which league just won the WS… and I’m an NL fan too, so I could see that perspective, and although I like Detroit and hate St. Louis, I wasn’t upset to see the high-and-mighty, all-powerful AL lose the WS…
