On a June Friday night in 1977, the Pirates wore pinstripes at Shea Stadium.

According to Retrosheet, the Pirates were in New York April 22 and 23, July 15-17 (doubleheaders on the 15th and 17th), and September 20 and 21. If July 15 was Friday, they could have worked in the white as part of the 5 game series, but the Bucs weren’t at Shea in June.

My bad. Must have been July instead of June. But I bet it was July 15. Let’s check the record. I remember my father complaining about it.

Interesting news on the New York Jets Web site about the team’s uniforms for the coming season. The Jets will again wear New York Titans throwback unis twice this year, including the home opener against the hated Patritos. The J-E-T-S also will sport a commemorative 40th anniversary Super Bowl III patch on their jerseys during an Oct. 26 home game against the Chiefs.

Here’s the full article: http://www.newyorkje...

The article also notes that the Jets Flight Crew will “debut their Marc Ecko-designed unis on the 14th,” the home opener. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see the asterisks on those Flight Crew unis.

Thank you! I’ll be here all week.

… Becks behind him in a long sleeve shirt…the field temp was like 120 degrees that day

Beckham wears long sleeves every game — it’s a superstition.

The Throwbacks are nice , but even though Buffalo wore this: http://www.geocities...

…the initial presentation was the current White Retro, but Buffalo went reverse so as not to confuse the quarterbacks. The Picture shown in the slide show was never presented by the league or the team.

BTW, I’m referring to the helmets

OT: Pop quiz hotshots. Look at the Centennial patch on this jersey on ebay. What is wrong with it?
