So I’m watching the All-Star Game last night with my buddy Large from No Mas. We haven’t seen each other since February (he lives in California these days), so I’m trying to not to get all Uni Watch on him. No need to make a pest of myself by pointing out every single pair of white shoes or other uni anomalies when we can enjoy universal pleasures like making fun of Dan Uggla, imagining what the youth of America is thinking about all the Viagra and prostate-shrinkage commercials, wondering how many pitches it will take for Billy Wagner to blow the lead, and despising Tim McCarver.
So when Ryan Ludwick came up in the eleventeeth inning, or whatever it was, with about 17 things wrong with his batting helmet, I held my tongue. Instead of saying, “Holy crap, look at that!” and pointing out all the aberrations Ludwick was wearing on his noggin, I just said, “I bet Dan Uggla’s sister got made fun of a lot when she was growing up” and reached for another drink.
Inside, though, I was thinking, “I bet my readers are all over this.” And I’m proud to say that you did not disappoint. Fourteen of you e-mailed regarding Ludwick’s headwear, and many more posted comments about it. For those who missed it, here’s Ludwick’s helmet, and here’s what was unusual about it:
• It’s red, which is the Cards’ home helmet. The National League was the road team last night, so he should have been wearing a navy lid.
• Although it’s hard to see in that screen shot, Ludwick was wearing a Coolflo helmet, which none of the Cardinals normally wear. (Albert Pujols also wore a Coolflo last night, but at least it was navy.)
• The weirdest thing is that Ludwick’s “StL” logo was red outlined in white, instead of white outlined in navy. If you look again at the Pujols shot, it’s obvious that they used a road helmet decal on Ludwick’s helmet.
Ludwick wasn’t the only National Leaguer improperly wearing a home helmet, by the way. Aramis Ramirez wore the Cubs’ solid-blue model instead of their red-brimmed road version. Fellow Cubs Geovany Soto and Kosuke Fukudome wore the proper helmet, however.
As for Uggla, that was some performance — I’m afraid all the Viagra in the world isn’t gonna help him now. Personally, I was rooting for the N.L. to run out of pitchers and be forced to put Uggla on the mound (whoever took over at second base would have to qualify as a defensive improvement, no?), but ya can’t have everything. And here’s a tidbit that only one reader caught: Uggla wasn’t even wearing his own wristbands. Maybe that was his problem right there.
(Thanks to Bob Sherron for the Cards screen grabs, and to Brett Crane for bringing Uggla’s wristband to my attention.)
Uni Watch News Ticker: Another brimless catcher: Jim Essian (with thanks to Andy Chalifour). … Another very stripe-centric football team: Ray High School in Corpus Christi (additional pics here, here, and here). “I’m almost positive they’ve worn an entire ‘candy-stripe’ uniform,” says Todd Hotz. “I’m looking for it.” … According to the third item in this web chat transcript, Idaho State will be wearing solid black at home, and the helmet will be tweaked (with thanks to Mark Snider). … “TCU’s top-ranked baseball team has been wearing throwback uniforms for Sunday home games for the past three years,” reports Mark Rybczyk. “They do a pretty good job and, I know that Coach Jim Schlossnagle requires his team to wear the stirrups on Sundays. I especially like the hats, which use a very old TCU Logo.” These are so nice, I won’t even complain about the purple. … With the Spectrum in Philly now slated for the glue factory, the Phantoms (AHL) and Kixx (MLS) will be wearing a farewell season patch (with thanks to Chris Ashworth). … New football uniforms on the way for Vanderbilt. … Jim Parker sent along a photo of some amazing UMich socks from 1953 — love to see more of these.

well, as =bg= pointed out last night (early morning?)…they didn’t wagnerproof the damn game…
#2 by John on 07.16.08 8:26 am |
Nice to see the total absence of alternate jerseys last night. Home whites for the AL, grays for the NL. Despite the few pairs of white shoes and the continuing ridiculousness of the pajama pants, and Manny’s hair, the teams looked pretty good last night.

Another very stripe-centric football team: Ray High School in Corpus Christi (additional pics here, here, and here). “I’m almost positive they’ve worn an entire ‘candy-stripe’ uniform,” says Todd Hotz.
How come it’s always the high school teams that sport the stripes? What’s up with everyone else?
#4 by Joe on 07.16.08 8:28 am |
i thought MLS folded, how are they gonna wear the patch
#5 by James Craven on 07.16.08 8:33 am |
It’s not MLS that folded. It was the second incarnation of the Major Indoor Soccer League, or the “missile” for the throwback fans.
#6 by Jake on 07.16.08 8:34 am |
The Philadelphia Kixx play in MISL, an indoor soccer league. Philly is getting an MLS team in 2010 however.
#7 by John M on 07.16.08 8:35 am |
Good for Aramis. I hate the Cubs’ red-billed road caps.
#8 by Art on 07.16.08 8:46 am |
PAUL:
I saw one of the Braves players last night with the solid alternate blue hat on. I thought this hat was only to be worn with the navy alternate road tops?????
#9 by scott on 07.16.08 8:54 am |
That’s the best thing about the All-Star game in recent years: that the home team wears white and the road team wears gray. Somehow all seems right with baseball when that tradition is maintained.
#10 by Josh J. on 07.16.08 8:57 am |
TCU’s throwbacks might be one of the best college uniforms, but they also have some new Blue-Jays inspired black alternates that may be the worst. At last count, I believe they have four different tops they can wear.
http://grfx.cstv.com...
#11 by Jim on 07.16.08 9:02 am |
Really wish other sports wore their reglar home/road unis for All Star Games. Gives fan chances to see the unis of teams they rarely see. NHL/NFL/NBA All star unis haven’t been good in a while.
#12 by Adam on 07.16.08 9:08 am |
So I picked up NCAA Football 09 yesterday, scrolling through the teams to see the uniforms, and stumbled across something funny. Every school’s uniforms sets are described by the top color, or top and pants color when the pant aren’t the normal school color. (White top, White and Red, etc. for my Miami University RedHawks). There’s the occasional unitard design (all orange or all purple for Clemson, all black for a bunch of teams) but what was great is that Florida State’s all black set is called the Unconquered set. Why? Because that’s what it says on the right leg of their pants. Way to go FSU, once again you’ve made yourselves look ridiculous.
#13 by LI Phil on 07.16.08 9:14 am |
fsu has worn this uni before…and for the life of me i swore it was a deep green, but was corrected that it was, indeed,
wretchedblackyou can see the “unconquered” on the pant leg
#14 by Dan on 07.16.08 9:25 am |
I don’t know if any of you caught it…and I don’t have the ability to screen-cap it, so I’m hoping someone else might be able to.
During FOX’s pre-game Red Carpet thing yesterday, whenever they’d go to commercial, they’d play clips of various NY personalities and their memories of Yankee Stadium. Somewhere around 6:40 (I think) there was one with Rudy Giuliani. He says something like “My favorite memory of Yankee Stadium…I think it ….” When he pauses there, he furrows his brow…and I swear the vertical lines between his eyebrows formed the Yankees ‘NY’ logo! I backed up the DVR and yelled for my wife… “Holy Shit. That’s crazy” she said…so it wasn’t just me being burned out from a shitty day at work…she saw it too.
Did anyone else catch that?
#15 by Timothy B on 07.16.08 9:25 am |
Did I see Gary Carter out there during the pre-game festivities wearing an Expos cap???
Well, at least he can’t piss them off with anything that comes out of his mouth.
#16 by teamcinnamon on 07.16.08 9:26 am |
Except for the sand/cream road color of the Pads.
#17 by Stuby on 07.16.08 9:26 am |
All Lance Berkman needed was a gray cap to complete the look. He had what looked like gray suede spikes and with his long pants it looked like he was wearing footie PJs
#18 by Dan on 07.16.08 9:26 am |
CORRECTION…I didn’t mean 6:40…it was somewhere around 7:40. Somewhere around the time that Spike Lee was talking to the announcers.
#19 by Randy Miller on 07.16.08 9:28 am |
I’m pretty sure that Ray High School has worn stripes since the ’70s, if not even earlier.
I’m completely sure that the Unconquered bit pays homage to the Seminole tribe.
#20 by Mario on 07.16.08 9:33 am |
Thats weird … I always thought Rudy had a 666 on his forehead.
#21 by teamcinnamon on 07.16.08 9:39 am |
I turned it off at that point.
Seriously, when he started plugging his self-designed New Era cap that he was wearing, that’s all I needed to hear.
#22 by Dan on 07.16.08 9:45 am |
I can’t remember if Rudy was before or after Spike Lee…I just know it was somewhere right around there.
#23 by Brian W on 07.16.08 9:47 am |
I also believe that George Sherrill of the Orioles was wearing his “road cap” (with the orange bill) with his home jersey last night…
#24 by Stuby on 07.16.08 9:51 am |
That’s almost Charles Manson-esque in its level of freakiness.
#25 by War Damn Eagle on 07.16.08 9:53 am |
From the article about Vandy’s new football unis:
“Commodore coaches, players and football staffers collaborated with Nike uniform experts on the 2008 design, which features black, gold and white options for both jerseys and pants.”
It’s look like a freakin’ Nike template to me. What the hell is unique or distinctive about that uniform? I can see the questionnaire now: would you like to look more or less like Wake Forest?; would you like the Illinois template, but in Wake Forest colors?
#26 by Stephen on 07.16.08 9:55 am |
I’m not Paul, but I can answer this. Both Brian McCann and Chipper Jones were wearing the Braves navy alternate cap last night. They have been wearing this cap more and more lately. I am not sure that it has become their official road cap, but it seems like that may be the case. They have been mixing and matching caps and jerseys all year.
~E~
#27 by Hurnf on 07.16.08 9:55 am |
Speaking of the all-star game … is Steinbrenner so afraid of the paying public that there are four fat security guards on the golf cart on which he rides to give the first-pitch balls to Berra, Gossage, Jackson, and Ford?
#28 by Dan on 07.16.08 9:56 am |
sherrill had the right hat on. orange brim is the home hat. it is a solid black for the road. he should have been the mvp. his two scoreless innings went virtually unnoticed. it was his longest outing of the year. can’t wait to see “baltimore” on the jersey next year.
#29 by Scott on 07.16.08 9:56 am |
Paul -
Read your column about All Star uni’s on ESPN.com. Thought I’d share another unique uni related All Star story. In the 2002 game in Miller park (the infamous tie game), Robin Yount and Ozzie Smith were named honorary captians in recognition of the 20th anviersary of the 2002 World Series. They were given ‘82 authentics to wear. At the time Yount was a coach for the Brewers, so he elected to wear his real uniform (he complained that the uni was not authentic(which he wore on the AL bench, as the Brewers were in the AL in ‘82).
Since the throwback powder blue intended for Yount was not being used, Robin Ventura wore it during batting practice.
No picture, but a blurb about it is here –> http://www.usatoday....
#30 by War Damn Eagle on 07.16.08 9:57 am |
The Braves have worn the blue alternate road cap with the gray uniforms in a couple of games this season. It was odd that they went with it for the all-star game, but the decision may have been made the Braves folks to showcase them for merch purposes, similar to their decision to wear the road alts for the Sunday night opener against Washington to begin the season.

#31 by LI Phil on 07.16.08 10:01 am |
you’d have preferred four thin security guards?

Re: Ray Texans striped unis, I have to give Paul credit; while searching for more info, damned if one of the results wasn’t a note from Uni Watch in October, 2007 - he beat me to it, as usual!!
I am still looking for pics from the 70’s/80’s that might show the whole “candy stripe” unis, though..

top ranked?????
#36 by chance on 07.16.08 10:08 am |
I wouldn’t be surprised if half of them had been medical personnel.
Why should he be afraid? The public loves him. The deification of Steinbrenner has begun, where all his misdeeds are being forgotten and his triumphs repeated. See “O’Malley, Walter.”

The NHL teams wear their normal uniforms during the Skills Competition. However, the NHL All-Star Game is a money-whoring festival of corporate sponsorship, so the NHL chooses to dress the players in a brand-new, normally-hideous jersey. You know, so the fans have to buy an All-Star jersey instead of just a patch.
#39 by caknuck on 07.16.08 10:16 am |
Although you couldn’t see it well from the camera angle, he also held up a Mets cap. Dave Winfield did the same thing with a Yanks lid.
Anybody else — and no, I haven’t gone back to read the comments on yesterday’s thread — upset with the decision to give the HOF’ers such ugly caps? Firstly… adjustable backs? How low rent. Also, what’s up with making them wear today’s versions of the caps, like McCovey wearing the ugly Giants alt “G” cap?
#40 by josh on 07.16.08 10:16 am |
What was up with the HOFers and their caps? Mays wore a batting practice cap, Aparicio’s looked like a golf cap, Boggs’ looked like a replica. Were they all in the gift shop during batting practice?
#41 by LI Phil on 07.16.08 10:16 am |
excellent point, teebz, but why doesn’t the nhl do it the opposite (ala baseball) and have the moneygrabbing, hideous-whoring special jersey for the competition/skills, and then the regular sweater for the game? do more people actually watch the game?
#42 by Robert on 07.16.08 10:18 am |
Yount is officially The Man for refusing to wear the poorly executed throwback. I wonder how many guys in his position would even notice that the stripes on the pants were not right.
#43 by scott on 07.16.08 10:20 am |
Carter had both an Expos and Mets cap, and Winfield had both a Padres and Yankees cap. Though it appeared Boggs only had a Yankees cap.
#44 by chance on 07.16.08 10:20 am |
That was the one which surprised me. All of the others wore the current primary caps of their respective HOF teams.
I presume that they did that to de-emphasize the “San Francisco” part of the Giants, play up their New York history?
#45 by Bryan Redemske on 07.16.08 10:20 am |
I have a feeling Aramis Ramirez might not have been to blame for the wrong helmet thing. It’s pretty clearly a new helmet, and Fukudome and Soto had new lids, too. Maybe the clubbies put the All-Star Game sticker on the wrong lid and sent him on his way?
#46 by Teebz on 07.16.08 10:21 am |
No, but the All-Star Game is the major event for corporate sponsors, and the NHL normally gives tickets to those sponsors for free to fill the seats and sell the product. In selling the product, the NHL highlights the All-Star Game to the corporations, while the Skills Competition is more for the fans.
I’d prefer to see home versus road, but that will never happen as long as someone with no hockey business sense is running the league.
#47 by Paul Lukas on 07.16.08 10:24 am |
The real question is why Ventura was on the all-star team that year. He was hitting .263 at the break!
#48 by John on 07.16.08 10:30 am |
I couldn’t agree more. As a Vandy alum, I am consistently disappointed with the uniform choices the football team makes. That new gold color is so much less distinctive than their previous gold unis. Since it seems they totally revamp their uniforms about every two years, I guess there’s hope that they’ll come out with a better uni for 2010.
#49 by chance on 07.16.08 10:31 am |
Heck, after this year’s voting, I don’t think we can complain about questionable choices in the past….

I screen capped it. I could see where you’d pick out the “NY”, though it looked more like a “W” to me at first glance.

I’m glad the Uni Watch archives are back up. After watching footage from the ‘06 ASG, I consulted the archives to recall why everyone was wearing yellow wristbands - in honor of Roberto Clemente of course.
Many thanks to Mark Rybczyk and Paul for featuring my alma mater’s sweet baseball unis! I feel I’ve failed my school by not noticing their throwbacks though. I told you guys, purple isn’t all that bad!!
And “top ranked” might be stretching the truth a little bit…they’ve won the Mountain West Conference and made the regionals for a few years now, but the CWS has alluded them.
#57 by Mike L on 07.16.08 10:50 am |

#61 by Graham on 07.16.08 11:01 am |
I’m sorry, but it still cheeses me that Carter won’t just accept that he was inducted as an Expo. It’s kind a big deal to those of us in Canada, as he’s the only person in the HOF from a Canadian team. We all know he was pissed that he wasn’t inducted a Met, but c’mon! Show some respect to a city that got the ass end of baseball’s business bullshit. Montrealers, whom were great fans, deserve it.
#62 by teamcinnamon on 07.16.08 11:04 am |
I’m still partial to: “Fuck this, I’ll make my own motherfucking stirrups.”
#63 by Christopher on 07.16.08 11:06 am |
Yeah, I don’t get the whole hoopla. Did he have problems with the Montreal orginization? I mean- its not like he’s from NY, and its some hometown dream of his.
Some of the Montreal teams he was on were damn good, too.
Even though I adopted the Mets as my second team when I was a kid during the early-mid 80s, I still think of Carter as an Expo.
#64 by LarenR on 07.16.08 11:06 am |
From last night’s comments:
And it was Mays, not McCovey. McCovey never played in NY.

#66 by chance on 07.16.08 11:09 am |
Loath as I am to defend Carter, I got the sense that it was something for the hometown fans. Just like Dave Winfield holding up the Yankees cap. Didn’t bother me at all.
Now, if he had done the same thing in another city, I’d agree with you.

That’s .045 higher than Varitek!
#68 by Mr. Met on 07.16.08 11:13 am |
Carter preferred the New York cap because of his championship in New York. If you read old interviews with Carter around the time of his induction he would constantly say that he considered himself a Met and described his years in New York as “magnificent”. I dug up this quote from Carter:
“If the Expos are no longer in existence, how is that going to be beneficial to me and my family when we have an opportunity to be part of a family that will be around a long time? Everybody knows my feelings. But it wasn’t up to me.”
#69 by Marty Met on 07.16.08 11:15 am |

I would’ve preferred he gone in as a Met - he is a complete embarrassment of a self-promoter who can’t shut his yap for more than a couple of seconds to take a breath. At least Andre Dawson was proud to have been an Expo, Carter is only proud when it suits him

That gold with the white numbers is horrible, especially on sunny days and on TV. Purdue had the exact same gold, with those numbers and it was putrid. Thankfully Purdue went back to black for home games.
#76 by James Craven on 07.16.08 11:36 am |
Mays and McCovey were sitting because they both have arthritic knees from what I understand. That’s why Willie Mac had one of those “DreamSeats” recliners at last year’s Home Run Derby in San Francisco.
#77 by Tyler on 07.16.08 11:37 am |
I’m sure somebody may have noticed this from last night, too, but Matt Holliday’s helmet was a solid black Cool Flo. The Rockies have gone with a Mets-type style purple front fading into black for the past couple of years on their Cool Flo helmets, but Holliday’s was solid black last night. Any ideas?
#78 by Ronnie Poore on 07.16.08 11:47 am |

Why were there no Red Sox HOF’s represented last night? I thought Boggs was in the Hall as a BoSox? Was it because of the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry. It was good to see Kaline wearing the Olde English “D”. How ironic was it that a Red Sox player won the MVP at Yankee Stadium?
#85 by Ricko on 07.16.08 12:31 pm |
On TV said was cuz Boggs was part of a Yankee championship team.
All these “team identity” problems. Sure is different from times past. Hard to imagine guys like Berra, Clemente and Kaline (all of whom have been mentioned today) playing for two or more teams each. But in today’s era, they probably would have.
