You’ve heard of a player’s uniform prompting a warning letter, and then there are the uniforms that lead to fines. But Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen has taken uni-related insubordination to a new level: In a roundabout way, his uniform got him suspended.
Here’s the deal: Yesterday the Marlins announced that Olsen would be suspended without pay for two games due to “conduct detrimental to the team” — code for “getting into a fight with teammate Sergio Mitre during the 5th inning of Sunday night’s Marlins/Nationals game” (and possibly also code for “being a total asshole for two seasons now,” but we’ll get to that in a sec). The beauty part is spelled out in this Palm Beach Post article, the crucial passage of which reads as follows:
The trouble apparently began with a faulty button on Olsen’s jersey. After Olsen came off the mound in the middle of the fifth inning, he tore off his jersey, threw it at a clubhouse attendant and demanded a new one. Sources said Mitre admonished Olsen for his behavior. That led to the scuffle while third baseman Miguel Cabrera was at bat.
The Miami Herald’s version is that “Mitre was trying to calm Olsen, who was upset over a broken button on his uniform top.” Alas, neither Olsen’s jersey tirade nor the scuffle itself is visible on the game video. I watched the preceding half-inning to see if the broken button was evident, and it did look like Olsen’s lower jersey might have been flapping open a bit (here’s another view), but he apparently wears it pretty loose down there all the time, so it’s tough to be sure which was the offending piece of plastic.
In any case, this is, to my knowledge, the first time a button has led to a suspension, and maybe the first uni-related suspension, period. There’ve been plenty of equipment-related suspensions and ejections, of course — corked bats, pine tar in the glove, that sort of thing — but I can’t think of any other instances when a uniform issue resulted in a player being put on the shelf.
As for Olsen, if it hadn’t been this, it probably would’ve been something else. By all accounts, he’s a short-tempered prick who’s gotten into fights with teammates at least twice before and was fined just last month for making an obscene gesture to fans in Milwaukee. The press obviously can’t stand him either — my favorite bit is in the Herald’s story, where writer Clark Spencer straight-facedly refers to him as a “cigarette-smoking southpaw” who “bristled when asked if he had ever thought about enrolling in an anger management course.” Hey, what’s not to love?

Apparently, there is an infection that some players have been getting from cuts on their exposed knees. Also, Portland State will have new uniforms, and with Jerry Glanville as their head coach, it should come as no surprise that they will wear black. Also, Sacramento State will be debuting a new helmet later this year with new jerseys (they altered their logo slightly).” No pics yet. … Longtime Uni Watch pal and softball comrade Josh Neufield drew this illustration to accompany a Washington Post article about Yankees fans who go to Shea Stadium just to annoy Mets fans.

-Wow, my alma mater (Sacramento State) gets a mention in Uni Watch. I’m so proud!
-Speaking of the Rod Beck patch, still no answer from the Giants as to why Beck gets a memorial patch and Jose Uribe, the longtime shortstop from the same era who died in Dec. 2006, does not. This is really bothering me for some reason.
-I caught a glimpse of the back of Reds reliever David Weathers jersey from last night’s game against the Braves and it looked like the ‘5′ in his ‘25′ was askew. Can someone provide a screengrab?

IN an editorial in the Chicago Tribune today the writer asked if there is anything kids can learn from the Cubs. The very first comment read;
“Yea, the kids can learn from the Cubs and the rest of baseball on how not to dress. They all look like slobs. Who is responsible for this slob look of the pants not tucked into the socks? Are these guys ashamed of the traditional and unique baseball uniform? Where’s the commissioner? Oh I’am sorry what a stupid qiestion. How about it Cubs, start dressing like ball players. Ask Soriano he’ll show you how.”

is that one a spirits of st louis card?
dont know if all read the “after work” comments from yesterday but there is a great link to an old toros jersey which i thought for sure would have been included into todays post…
what? pants tucked into socks? what is he talking about?
soriano? skin tight pants worn to the knees? thats not what the traditionalists think looks like a ball player either! soriano, duque, a-rod, they think they go retro… no way man, in my opinion thats the ugliest look in baseball!
now, im a fan of what you traditionalists call the pajama pant look… david wright looks great in his uniform when he wears his pants baggy and with the long inseem. (jeez im sure ill hear it for that statement)
i know i cant speak for all you traditionalists but this guy should be the president of that club…

nice stirrups,
tailored baggy pants…
he is one of the few who actually understands how to look that way.
#18 by Joe Drennan on 07.18.07 9:32 am |
Looking at some Blackhawks prospect camp photos on their site I noticed some were wearing old CCM practice3 sweaters, eventhough the NHL went to the Reebock ones last year. It looks like it’s simply a way for the clubs to get a few extra miles out of stuff they already have.
#19 by rebecca on 07.18.07 9:35 am |
in last night’s Redsox Kansas City game the KC starter, Leo Nunez, did not have the tilde over the n although his teammate Tony Pena Jr. had one. This strikes me as a glaring uni omission, and I am a Red Sox fan!

RE: The Redskins colors.
Yes, burgundy is one of their colors. But I gotta vent one of my biggest pet peeves. Gold is not yellow. Gold is, for one, a metallic color. And, as a color its more of a light brown.
The New Orleans Saints and Washington Wizards wear gold. The Washington Redskins, Pittsburgh Pirates, and the like wear yellow. Maybe the ‘Skins wear “yellow-orange”, but not gold.
#21 by Kevin from Ohio in Virginia on 07.18.07 9:38 am |
The “T” on Mo Vaughn’s hat stands for: “Oh my God, these uniforms are TERRIBLE!”
#22 by Robert on 07.18.07 9:48 am |
While I think that the pajamas/slacks are even worse, I am on board with the position that the supertight pants pulled up to the knees looks terrible.
If given a choice between non-baggy long pants that fit tight at the ankle and the Soriano look, give me the long pants every time.
#23 by Jason G. on 07.18.07 9:55 am |
I sense a large collection of “yellow” NFL team logos coming.
I have always felt the same way you have about the whole gold/yellow thing. However, the yellow that the Pirates, Packers, etc. wear is called Athletic Gold. The Saints “gold” is sometimes referred to as Vegas Gold, but there are about a million shades of that gold with about a million different names. Therefore, technically the Packers do wear gold. They aren’t fooling me though, I know yellow when I see it.

Uni related comment from the Cleveland Indians / Chicago White Sox game last night: Jason Michaels went from 2nd to home on a bloop single by Ryan Garko last night, to win the game in the bottom of the 11th inning.
Postgame interview:
“I couldn’t believe the way J-Mike took off,'’ Garko said. “That was a great piece of base running. I was just hoping the ball would fall in, and he’d get to third. He had the white cleats on; I guess that made him faster.'’

There’s a huge difference between athletic gold and yellow. About as much as there is between teal and royal blue.
Metallic gold is a third color altogether.
#28 by Steve B on 07.18.07 10:03 am |
Did anybody else see the travesty that I saw last night during the Reds and Braves game. I believe it was during the top or middle of the 6th inning. They showed a shot of the Reds dugout, and I think it was Javier Valentin that I saw with the bottom cuff of his pajama pants pulled over the heel, and the toe of his cleats. He didn’t play any that game, but he looked like a figure skater in the dugout.

Am I right in thinking teams like the Packers and Steelers wear Athletic Gold?
#31 by Dan on 07.18.07 10:16 am |
We’re so focused on the Black, Teal, and Red trends of the last 15 years…we apparently missed the much less asthetically pleasing YELLOW FAD!
So that’s great. Last year, the Skins screwed with the uni combo almost all season long. White Jerseys on White pants. (NO! The skins wear white on burgundy pants. Period. End of discussion. White on White is for practice!) So at the end of the season, we finally get that combo back the way it belongs, and now this season, they’ll be wearing these?
I actually don’t mind the yellow helmet and the throwback jersey…I’d just prefer to go with the basic Redskins uniform…the way it’s supposed to be worn. (withOUT multiple pairs of striped socks, Mr. Taylor…ya schmuck.)
#32 by Anthony M on 07.18.07 10:22 am |
Those are the regular practice jersey’s from last season. That one image that looks like the NHL text is going top left to bottom right is probably just an image that was mirrored after the fact.
#33 by Roger Faso on 07.18.07 10:23 am |
I have lived in Atlanta for a year now. There are no stores that sell decent sporting apparel here. It’s all Bulldogs, Yellow Jackets, Braves, Falcons, Hawks, Thrashers and of course the flavors of the month (Yankees, Red Sox and etc.) If you did want gear of a different team, it’s almost always of an urban motif.
This past weekend, I was taking my daughters to the Braves game and I would be damned if I let them parade around like hip hop clowns or let their skin burn off by dressing them in Atlanta gear.
So, I went to Distant Replays and let me tell you. That is the greatest store ever. I highly recommend going there. Browse for hours.
Bought my girls retro A’s and Raiders hats and off we went. Of course we were heckled by some KC transplant yokel who felt compelled to yell “chiefs rule. raiders suck.” at my daughters and I. I then told my girls to look the other way and promptly showed this dipshit number 1.

There has been another button uni malfunction.
On July 21, 2006, you wrote about Kenny Rogers button, popping off and having to change jerseys.
Rogers got a new jersey, but when he walked back on to the field, the umps wouldn’t let him pitch. I remembered this being very strange. Does anyone know why?

As per Scott Olsen I was at a Mets-Marlins game last year right before the All-Star break and he berated Miguel Cabrera for not diving for a ball down the third base line, I think they came to blows in the dugout but I couldn’t tell from my vantage point, needless to say he didn’t come out for the next inning…..Paul are all old ABA teams available for membership cards? My dad played for the Utah Stars and I would like to have one of those made.

While not really something argue over, the shirts are from the first post-lock out season. The practice jerseys were made during the lockout, hence the old sheild. If you looked close Anthony, everything else in the picture was not mirrored!

Hey, I’ve gotta stick up for the basic Uni Watch design treatment. It looks sharp, it matches the colors of the rest of the card, it’s a nice gesture of Uni Watch solidarity, and it avoids the one-upmanship factor. I chose that treatment myself, and I have no regrets.
Of course, I like the team designs too. But don’t make it sound like the Uni Watch design is some sort of loser option.
#50 by Stuby on 07.18.07 11:20 am |
I’m more bothered by the ‘J-Mike’ nickname. Could you be more unoriginal?
#51 by Phil Pereira on 07.18.07 11:20 am |
No, it definitely wasn’t mirrored (I don’t know how why any photographer would waste their time mirroring one logo in the photo). But if you look in the first link again you can notice some have the NHL logo the new way and some have it the old way (number 6 and the 2nd link above), which is odd really.
#52 by susan on 07.18.07 11:22 am |
How about “goldenrod”?
#53 by Stuby on 07.18.07 11:28 am |
This may or may not have played a part in anyone’s card design choice, but if someone else had wanted to get, say, the rainbow Nuggets jersey or the cable-car Warriors design, I hope they haven’t felt like they should come up with something else because their first choice was ‘taken’ by someone else. OK, that was a serious run-on sentence. Sorry.

OK Guys..I did the coolest thing I have ever done yesterday..I got to take BP and play a game at Camden Yards! It was part of a Miller Lite promo for top customers (my uncle works at a big bar).
Check out the few pics I was able to take. There is something too cool about being served a beer in the dugout by the Oriole Bird. We all got #8 cool base jerseys to wear, but the only downfall from the day was that my last name was misspelled on my uncle’s and my jerseys!
And now I know that like most of the O’s, I have warning track power! haha
#56 by Teebz on 07.18.07 11:35 am |
The practice jerseys are of little concern to Rbk Hockey at this point. The pants are part of the new “uniform system” so they would have the new logo attached to them.

#64 by Quint on 07.18.07 11:43 am |
Following the link, the comment that the Pilots are the only MLB team to play for only one season is incorrect. Each team in the Union Association and Players League played for only one season (both are considered major leagues), and numerous NL and American Association teams only lasted one season prior to 1900. Even if you only look at modern MLB history, the Milwaukee Brewers fielded a team in the American League’s first season, 1901, then moved to St. Louis and became the Browns.
#65 by Dan on 07.18.07 11:44 am |

that Redskins throwback uni was brought in by Lombardi when he briefly was coach…it’s as close to the Packers design as he could get. the next coach, George Allen, introduced the current helmet, but kept the jersey (but back to burgundy), pants, stripe patterns, etc.
#71 by Robert on 07.18.07 12:04 pm |
I was wondering that too. Martin spent some time in Texas with Mickey Mantle, and he managed in Arlington for a short time, but he certainly didn’t spend enough time there to pick up the accent. Do people from Oakland even have an accent?
#72 by Pete on 07.18.07 12:12 pm |
Oh, not what I was trying to say at all. It’s a perfectly fine look by itself. As for the customs, who sees it as nyah-nyah-top-this one-upmanship? I see it as peoples’ creative juices flowing myself… that’s the beauty of this whole deal.

Except for maybe the Wonder-twin powers. I mean, what is that…”shape of an icicle?!” That’s a pretty lousy power.
That is really cool. We had a similar outting the Bowie stadium…but a HUGE thunderstorm moved through before I was able to bat.

Of course there is. I just don’t like the term “Gold”. I mean… call it Athletic Yellow. BECAUSE IT IS! :)
I’m totally being picky, I know. And I’m a Saints fan so that opens me up to thing being a completely snarky biased comment…
But a printed 4 color photo of a brick of gold has more Cyan and Magenta combined than it does Yellow.
#78 by Christopher on 07.18.07 12:25 pm |
Hmmmmm…. that athletic gold there looks a lot like organge, or yellow-orange to me?
It would be like calling a grey-blue “Athletic Silver”

Count me in as hating the tight, hiked up A-Rod/Soriano pants look. While I can’t stand the pajama look, I’d take baggy and long over tight and hiked any day.
Obviously, the ideal is baggy and hiked, but sadly we pretty much only see that on throwback nights.

This reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons where Lisa was at a copy shop having something printed. She said she wanted “25 on canary, 25 on goldrenrod, 25 on saffron, and 25 on sunflower [or something like that]” and the guy says “Ok, 100 yellow it is”.

Thanks for the Kepner link. I’ve been wondering if Guidry has been wearing real stirrups or the 2-in-1 socks. It’s hard to tell sometimes.
Here’s Donnie from OTD. Looks like he wears a lower profile stirrup (is that even the correct term?). It looks kind of weird since he wears the pant legs low too.
On a side note, Donnie really needs to grow his mustache back.
