I really don’t like the outline around the numbers on Texas A&M’s new jerseys. It just seems too clunky. Hopefully they will look better in person. I also wonder how Aggie Nation feels about silver being included on the uniforms.

Classic example of “fixing what ain’t broke”.

With the switch from Nike to Adidas, it was time for the Texas A&M uniform to have a little “change.” I imagine we will see a few more updates in the ‘08 season by Adidas. The look that A&M’s had the past few years looks like everyone else’s. This will give them a little “identity”

This jersey is from 1939. You can see on the left sleeve patch that it says 1839 on the top left corner. It also says “Baseball Centennial” on the bottom of the patch. I’m not sure what happened for that 100 years. Maybe the inception of baseball in that city?

1839 was when Abner Doubleday supposedly invented baseball, although as I hope you all know that story is long discredited.

That is the same patch that all MLB teams wore in 1939

What was so important in 1839 that all teams wore a patch for, I wonder?

See post #127

That story has been discredited, but are you saying that that’s what they believed back then, or what?

Ok, I know the Doubleday story is wrong, but do we know the real story of how baseball was invented?

Not really. From the above wikipedia article: “Jeff Idelson of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York has stated, “Baseball wasn’t really born anywhere,” meaning that the evolution of the game was long and continuous and has no clear, identifiable single origin.”

Basically, yes. Some people probably knew even back then it wasn’t real, but it was the “official” story. See http://en.wikipedia.... for the full story.

While Marquettes uni during the championship season of 1977 may not qualify as a thing of beauty, (remember the whole ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ thing) I have to say that they were definately original. Especially the home whites which had the gold arrows on the sides of the jersey (along with Marquette along the bottom) and the gold shorts to match (sort of). We sholdn’t forget the Glenn ‘Doc’ Rivers era of unis that had royal blue, navy blue, yellow and white camoflouge side panels on jersey and shorts. (Sorry no photos but circa 1984-5)

I thought this was the slogan?

Where did Minna go to? Haven’t seen her post for a while.

I’ve been missing our friend of black and Ed Hochuli, too.

I’ve been wondering the exact same thing.

Me too!!!

Watching the Mets/Cardinals game 26 June: add #22 Jose Valentin to the “Orange Under Uni Watch List” along with David Wright. No screen grabs, but trust me on this one.

Here’s a tiny glipse
