New ESPN column today — here’s the link.
Meanwhile: During Tuesday afternoon’s Red Sox workout, Manny Ramirez’s turban (it no longer qualifies as a snood) did not feature the World Series logo. To nobody’s surprise, they corrected that oversight in time for batting practice yesterday, and the logo was also slapped onto Manny’s dark game turban.
By now it’s routine to see the WS logo on jersey sleeves and caps. But yesterday it was also on umpires’ sleeves and caps, fleece pullovers, and David Ortiz’s headband.
And then there was the matter of the logo’s placement on the Rockies’ vests. There’s a long tradition of vested teams wearing sleeve patches jersey torsos, natch. The problem is that there’s no set protocol for where on the torso they should be worn, as demonstrated by the variety of placements shown here, here, and here. The Rockies’ placement is as good as any — the problem is that the patch is so damn big.
For all the things carrying the WS logo last night, I was surprised to see how many things managed to escape logo-free, including BP caps, ski caps, dugout jackets, and Red Sox hitting coach Dave Magadan.
Batting helmets were logo-less as well. Or were they? Manny’s helmet had a logo decal during his first at-bat, but it was apparently removed after that. I didn’t notice anyone else wearing the helmet decal.
In short: Could’ve been worse. And tonight we should see real stirrups on the mound and, just maybe, real road grays too.

Uni Watch News Flash: This just in: According to this item in today’s Boston Herald, Reebok’s new NHL jerseys may be on the way out. Here’s the relevant passage (which was brought to my attention by Doug Mooney):
According to sources in the [Bruins] dressing room, Reebok has been unable to correct problems with the new jerseys introduced this season across the NHL and will replace them at the company’s expense with new uniforms made of the old materials.
Players have complained since training camp that the new jerseys, which are supposed to be lighter and allow sweat to evaporate out through the shirts, have instead trapped water inside and gotten heavier.
I’ve got calls in to the NHL and Reebok as we speak. More details as I get them.
Update, 12:55pm: Just spoke with an NHL spokesperson, who told me that the Boston Herald report is incorrect. As it was explained to me, Reebok has informed each team that players who have “moisture issues” with the new jerseys (i.e., lots of water ending up in their gloves and/or skates) will be given the option to have the option to wear a jersey with a new front panel made of a different high-tech material. The spokesperson maintained that there was no league-wide move to scrap the new jerseys, nor was there any move back to “old materials.”
When I asked if the league had any sense of how many players were requesting this option, I was told to direct that question to Reebok. I’m still waiting to hear back from them.
Uni Watch News Ticker: If you thought this was problematic, wait until you see this (as found by Ella Moran and Pete Bonavita). “What is it about the 49ers and the sweaters they inspire?” asks Scott Turner. “Certainly not the legacy of Dick Nolan.” … Nice article here on MLB rituals, uni-related and otherwise. … The Birmingham Barons have new uniforms. … Chris Laughman has come up with a bunch of cool high school football unis, including Vernon Hills in Illinois (note how the “VH” helmet logo appears to have been swiped from an unlikely source), Heritage High in California (here’s another shot), and my favorite, San Pasqual in California (if not for the side panel on the jersey, they’d be damn near perfect!). … Early X-Y-Z victim, or just a fold of fabric? (As found by Vince, who also passed along this.) … This type of story seems to come up like clockwork once or twice a year, but it’s still a good read. … Brady Quinn lost a bet and had to wear a USC jersey for an interview (with thanks to Greg Riffenburgh). … According to the first paragraph of this story, Troy Tulowitzki’s name was misspelled on his new bats last night (as forwarded by Joe Ramos). … Soccer note from Roy Ellingsen, who writes: “Erling Knudtzon (show here behind goal scorer Kim Holmen) managed to wear the wrong socks for a Tippeliga soccer game (Norway’s premier division)!” … Ray Bergman asked me what LT is wearing here. Apparently, it’s this.

Hey “some dude” on the Red Sox is batting coach Dave Madagan. C’mon Paul - us Mets fans should know that one! Ha ha.
#3 by Charlie on 10.25.07 8:47 am |
Those things that Ladanian Tomlinson are wearing heat beads from Jimmy Tangos Fat Busters. When coupled with his patented regimine of crystal meth, you can expect LT to drop about 13 lbs in 2 hours.
#4 by Kevin G. on 10.25.07 8:51 am |
We’ll see if Ubaldo Jimenez figures out the proper way to wear stirrups tonight.
#5 by Monte on 10.25.07 8:51 am |
I thought that looked like madagan. Love that guy.
#6 by xyz on 10.25.07 8:55 am |
I wouldn’t call Mannys headpiece (formorly known as a snood) a turban as it is not a long piece of fabric that has been wrapped but rather it seems to be more of a high tech ‘tam’. Similar to what many people (think Bob Marley, Rastafarians, etc.) wear.

#10 by Stephen on 10.25.07 9:04 am |
Not sure, but I think LT’s armor is from Nike, and they act as little shock absorbers.

More uniformed nuptials.
#12 by Lake on 10.25.07 9:08 am |
It’s Magadan, not Madagan.
I wonder if Papelbon will be sporting a new cap with the black underbrim now, or if he made them sew a patch onto his old hat.
#13 by dm00n on 10.25.07 9:10 am |
One of the Red Sox relievers last night was wearing an old stained hat the logo on the side, so they must have the option of having it stitched on.
#14 by Lake on 10.25.07 9:10 am |
Yup, that’s right. Some of my rugby teammates wear them- I never though they’d be very effective by themselves, but I can see how they would help when combined with his other padding.
#15 by pitnasty on 10.25.07 9:10 am |
this is what LDT is wearing its basically helps against stingers and ribshots

#17 by Paul P on 10.25.07 9:17 am |
Ok, I’ve been trying to figure this one out for a few weeks, but can’t for the life of me. Anyone have any idea what that metal thing is on Manny’s belt. It’s been there for a while now, and I haven’t seen anyone else wear it, and can’t figure out a purpose:
http://cache.boston....
Beckett looks like he’s using the same belt with the bigger buckle that Dice-K and Okajima use:

Wait a minute! Tek’s got it too:

I’ve never played organized baseball, is that just normaly part of the belt that’s hidden under the loops?

#20 by Kelly on 10.25.07 9:25 am |
Hey paul they have had ws logos on those fleece tops ever since they debuted in 2004 you can kind of make it out here.
#21 by Joe on 10.25.07 9:26 am |
It appears to be an elastic belt. The metal piece is so that the belt can be adjusted to fit pretty much any waist size. Shown Here I’ve been playing baseball for 15 years and i have always worn this type of belt. Even in college we use this belt
#22 by Chris on 10.25.07 9:29 am |

This is what I immediately thought of.

Paul,
What year did the NHL start putting fight straps on their jerseys? I want to get a name on a jersey of mine, but I want to make sure he was on the team when they had fight straps, seeing my jersey has one. And yes I am this anal about the authenticity of my jerseys, if this is would be accepted anywhere, it would be here……..
#26 by Shane on 10.25.07 9:41 am |
More UEFA quirks for the Light Blues:
Rangers FC have been sporting last years numbering style on their blue kits in Champions League matches. They’ve been using this rather gaudy red numbering style in league games this season. Not sure of reason for the numbering switch.
They also have not pulled out the third kit, supposedly for European away nights. Hoping for an appearance at the Nou Camp for the Barca return tie.
#27 by Gabe on 10.25.07 9:50 am |
Well, he looks a little different now than he did during his playing days in NY.
#28 by Bendert on 10.25.07 9:56 am |
They have all sorts of the shock and stineger busters that LT was wearing. I had a friend in high school who also wore one to help protect his back because he had scoliosis when he was younger.
#29 by Bendert on 10.25.07 9:56 am |
that should be *stinger* busters
#30 by todd krevanchi on 10.25.07 9:57 am |
who was the hoops player pictured on this blog many months ago that had those “mysterious dots” on his undershirt like lt has? i remember it was discussed pretty heavily one day.
i honestly dont think having that type of padded protective gear under your shorts or jersey is any big deal, nor is it out of the ordinary. people have been wearing traditional knee pads and neoprene knee pads for years for the same reasons. to protect areas of the body which were problem areas and had a lot of physical contact.
no different than bagwells batting glove, any player who wears a leg shield because they foul off a lot of balls, or any of the nba guys who wear the padded compression shorts because they consistently drive the lane and initiate contact.
#31 by Hama on 10.25.07 9:59 am |
What kind of fight strap is it? If it’s the elastic with the metal clasps sewn in with the twill - they’ve been around for quite some time, at least 20, maybe 25 years. If it it’s the loops where you could thread the suspenders through, those have been around since the 50s, if the M&N jerseys are any indication.
#32 by John O'Hare on 10.25.07 9:59 am |
Paul how could you not recognize Dave Magadan???
I thought you were a better Met fan than that haha
Hey Paul, don’t feel bad. I’m a Met fan, and I thought it was Ben Affleck. I tried to delete Magadan from my memory after he took over first base from my all time favorite Keith Hernandez.

#34 by Hama on 10.25.07 10:02 am |
The film’s been out in Canada since last summer. It is available on DVD. The funny thing is that most of the logos on the sweaters were blurred out - I imagine because the NHL didn’t get their licensing fee. Since it was aimed mainly at a Canadian audience, I guess the producers didn’t care since most everyone watching it - particularly in Quebec would know who the Habs were playing.
#35 by Joe Drennan on 10.25.07 10:03 am |
The fight strap is one of my favorite piest of the hockey jersey. Yea the tie up collaer is cool, some teams have great templates, but it’s the fight strap that makes the jersey awsome. Just the name alone makes it great. Maybe if I ever convince my wife to let me get a Uni Watch membership I’ll petition for a fight strap on my card.
#36 by Jason G. on 10.25.07 10:06 am |
So with hockey going back to old materials, do they go back to old designs? Are the apron strings gone? Do the Rangers spread their word mark out (please, please, please)?

Paul-
I think the World Series logo is not on the BP caps because the paneling above the ear piece would interfere with the patch/decal.

Theyre really really baggy, but still tapered so they all bunch up at the bottom, it looks dumb, why cant he dress like a normal player?” Ah, the everyday uniwatch conversations
#53 by DJ on 10.25.07 10:56 am |
I am suprised the batting practice caps didn’t have the WS logo. When the Rockies won the NLCS ages ago, MLB.com was selling the BO caps with the logo. I don’t see it now.

It was Mo Williams of the Bucks. I don’t feel like looking up the link though.

#58 by Doug on 10.25.07 11:13 am |
It’s normal for teams in the UCL to wear different number fonts than their league for UCL matches. As a ManU fan, our numbers are silver for UCL matches, Arsenal’s are gold, and Chelsea uses numbers formed by 3 stripes (clever, as they wear an adidas kit). My guess is there may be a trademark issue preventing them from wearing their league kits for non-league matches.
Who am I kidding? It’s another kit to sell to the fans!!
#59 by John on 10.25.07 11:14 am |
Re: San Pasqual helmets,
Check out the stripes…check the picture again. #21 appears to have a standard single stripe. The QB seems to have the ugly double stripes that tail off, like Virginia, and #40 may or may not have any at all. Sorry, any team that has helmet stripes that tail off in a point, however it’s done (Denver, Louisville, UNLV, Tenn. Titans, Southern Miss, etc) can NOT qualify as nearly perfect. It’s so Bush League. It reminds me of something the XFL would do.

#61 by Jeff B on 10.25.07 11:15 am |
I did notice Manny kept his helmet on while sliding into second, but also noticed that as he bounced up from the slide, he grabbed it off his head in a manner which looked like he was taking off his cap and taking a bow. Like ‘that’s right, I hit an rbi double and now I shall take a bow.’
#62 by Jason G. on 10.25.07 11:15 am |
The Heritage High uniform is incredible. I’d like to see the home uniform. I’m assuming powder blue jersey with white pants. Hey Chargers, this is what your alternate should look like!
#63 by Mike Engle on 10.25.07 11:16 am |
Wow. The Bruins have the greatest current jerseys in the NHL (what can I say, the design is awesome, and black and yellow is probably my favorite color combination), and now they’re reverting to the traditional material!? That’s the most inspiring event to come out of Boston since the Tea Party.
#64 by Rick on 10.25.07 11:16 am |
Todd, I think it was a guy on the Celtics, but I’m at a complete loss right now. It was somebody that was just coming back from an injury. I remember the shot was right in the paint, as the guy was going up for a layup. (I think)
#65 by Paul P on 10.25.07 11:18 am |
This is why Manny took off his helmet after sliding in to second base:

Ha! This is classic, Dr. Teeth. Thanks for brightening my morning.
You know, because I don’t have cable, last night was the first time I saw the Rockies in action. Now, I love me some black, and I am not opposed to purple the way Paul is, but those vests are hideous. They make the Rockies look so bush-league. No, wait, that was the way they played last night.
#86 by Patrick on 10.25.07 12:05 pm |
Those black vests paired with gray slacks (they certainly look more like slacks than baseball pants) are maybe the worst uniforms in the history of the WS.
#87 by mike on 10.25.07 12:08 pm |
When I played football, which wasn’t too long ago, I loved wearing this kind of girdle. It is a much more comfortable pad than the normal thigh pads. Every quarterback and running back on my team wore pads very similar to LTs in order to get the extra protection, and because it was more comfortable than this type.

Weirdly enough, I found myself thinking the Rockies didn’t look that bad compared to some of the slobs that Boston fields.
By the way, when I was watching Daisuke Masuzaka pitch the other day, I kept imagining that he had this on under his jersey.
#90 by Shaftman on 10.25.07 12:13 pm |
I’m not a fan of black the way you are Minna, but you’re right. It’s not the color that makes the vests bad, it’s the overall design. The way the shoulders are designed to jut out instead of tapering in; The silver piping on the armhole; It’s just not well done.

#93 by dm00n on 10.25.07 12:21 pm |
When I played we had something similar to this but it was mesh and had pockets for hip pads and the tailbone pad. Then we switched to hip and tailbone pads that just had a belt that looped through them and basically you relied on your pants to keep them in the right spot.
It is funny you brought that up, because when I was looking at the honorary NFL captains picture, I noticed they didn’t have any lower body padding. That got me to thinking about if NFL players even wear hip or tailbone pads anymore. It is interesting to see that they now make padded compression shorts (with built in thigh pads even). No wonder you don’t see the big foam hip pads anymore.
#94 by dm00n on 10.25.07 12:22 pm |
Wow, check out the name/number spacing on #2. I wonder if it is just because of the long name, but it looks weird compared to everyone else in the shot.

With the Rockies losing game 1 badly in those hideous black vests, they can hopefully wear their road gray jerseys.

Ugh!…The Red Sox seriously need to impose a hair style rule. Manny’s hair & uniform antics have been making me sick to my stomach! I was fine with baggy uniforms but as of late I’m starting to rethink my stance due to Manny’s size 42W X 36L pants. I don’t think New Era has enough fabric to cover his head! IT WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME A TURBIN!
See!
Rockies need to shrink that World Series patch down a bit…their Uni’s are starting to look like Japanese league threads.

#102 by DrBear on 10.25.07 12:53 pm |
Regarding the ESPN column - as I remember, it was Forrest Gregg who put the numbers on the Packers’ pants; obviously, he had brought it from his stint as an assistant coach under Landry. Lindy Infante had them removed because, along with taste reasons, “they made it too easy to identify offensive linemen who committed holding penalties.”
Oh, and the Colts also had numbers on their pants for one season at about the same time - a horseshoe on the hip with a number inside it. Photo, anyone?

Not really uni-related, more so equipment, but, did anyone notice that when the Rockies intentionally walked Mike Lowell last night, homeplate umpire Ed Montague kept his mask off for the entire at bat? It looked very strange to see the ball in play and the plate umpire not wearing a mask?

usually the league doesn’t let the team wear the normal league font in non-league games. if you look closely on the rangers kit you can see the Scottish Premier League logo near the top of the number. and no, i don’t know why they couldn’t use the same color and just get rid of the logo.

Really? Wow, that’s news to me. I shall investigate!

Aye, just felt it was a bit odd to resort to the 06-07 set instead of devising something fresh. Made me think at first that they were merely returning to the former kit until I saw a closeup.
Looks like the Dons are sporting the same style for their UEFA Cup matches as they do for league games. I can’t see the Clydesdale Bank/SPL logo on either set of numbers though.
