I am not 100% certain what year this took place in but there used to be a guy that would sneak in to major sporting events and pretend to be a player for a thrill. I know he did this one time in a Yankee uniform.

Here is video of Oregon’s new jerseys. The best look comes when they show the players on the sidelines at about 15 seconds.

I’m in an extreme minority here when I say “I love Oregon’s uniforms.” I absolutely love the use of 3M Scotchlite on the uniform. I just ask that they remove the “Oregon” from the pant leg.

I hope to see this combo again…

Or with the green jersey instead.

Please. Nike. Listen to me. As someone who has spent every damn day of their life bleeding green and yellow, CHANGE THEM BACK!

Also, for the person who posted the picture of the Rose Bowl (travesty), I prefer the Akili Smith era uni with no stripes on the arms…

like this?

Yes, like that. Pure aesthetic genius.

You must me joking! These are horrible!

Maybe the mystery guy is Bobby Valentine in one of his many mustachioed disguises.

don’t know if this has been mentioned, why do teams like the d-backs put “los” on their jerseys anyways?

Because they think that it attaches them to hispanic culture…

before another discussion about facial features and complexion, one reason it’s clear the mystery man is not any of the back-row yankees in the official photo is that he’s wearing glasses

by the way, that should be “run over for him to change into” Suggesting that somebody ran and brought him the jersey rather then a jersey with mixed up tense running by itself out onto the field.

[And there are three yankees on that top row in pinstripes. There were 2 in the photos we had earlier. Perhaps one of them is our mystery man with a jersey ran for him to change into? Sparky Lyle is a pretty close match in terms of face...

that’s a good point. in fact it’s clear those three in the back are sparky, thurman and graig nettles. but definitely none are the mystery man. i propose roy white stood in for his teammate while setting up the photo (to get the spacing right), our mystery photo is a photo of this temporary setup and white is absent when his teammate arrives at last.

Tells us who the extra Yankees were: Batting practice pitchers. Why include them in the team photo?
