But yes, it probably was the dance team. I missed the game, but are you sure you weren’t looking at the dance team?

Maybe the Dodgers could go the route that a lot of traditional teams (Cubs, Giants, Red Sox) have been going, with the names only on the road? The Dodgers also took out that completely-meaningless white layer underneath the blue numbers on the home jerseys. I never knew why they bothered putting that there... does anyone know?

Sorry. As a die-hard Dodger fan, I think making the outline of the LA on the white jersey same as the front Dodgers script is an improvement. I also agree with removing the white outline underneath Los Angeles on the gray jersey, but as I said earlier I do not agree with a Los Angeles Jersey with a LA patch. The Giants have a Giants jersey with a Giants patch and a San Francisco jersey with a SF patch. This also bothers me, even though I hate the Giants. I don't like the repetition. I would rather have the arm blank than with an LA. However, Frank McCourt has been branding the LA logo around Dodger Stadium, placing it on the field behind homeplate and on the gaps of the outfield wall and I presume that played into his decision. However, I'm still holding out for a blue jersey even though I know, I'll never get it. I figure a team nicknamed the Blue Crew and whose slogan is Think Blue needs a blue jersey. They wore them once during Think Blue Week, I think it was 6 years ago, and never wore them again. Well, I'm sure I've had my two cents and then some on the Dodgers Jersey. At least they didn't add black, lol. Never mind it works. Sorry.
