The red jersey -- which has black lettering with gold trim and black short sleeves -- will be the team's second alternate home uniform and likely will be worn Friday nights.

Hey if we cant out pitch you, we will blind you!

 

Looks almost like a softball uniform.

Godawful.

[Coach C]

Oh boy....

 

That's awful.

Sleeveless jerseys are baseball cancer.

Sleeveless jerseys are baseball cancer.

 

Add to the fact that the team's primary colors are black and gold and they decide to have a red jersey...it's a bad, bad move.

[wekse]

those might be worse than the old white sox and astros uniforms.

I don't think it can get worse than those, but this is close...

I actually liked the rainbow Astros jersey.

You liked the old "Rainbow" Astros uniform, but don't like the Pirates new "alternate" jersey? So, I take it, Vance, you prefer Cat poop (Astro's rainbow jersey), to Dog poop (the Red/Black/Gold cutoffs of the Pirates)?

[RichHillIsABeast]

Wow. How much punishment should Pirates' fans have to take?

The worst uni in the history of sports, IMO.

I think they're so bad that they're good. They remind me of an NBA jersey.

Agreed. That, sir, is a uniform travesty.

[Sammy Sofa]

The shorts are a monstrosity, but the Cubs' hideous "pajama blues" in the early 80's didn't help things.

These are far from new:

No worse than the Astros having red jersey's.

 

Those Pirate's jerseys are almost as bad as the Cubs blue jersey's....

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm no fan of the blue jerseys, but those are worse.

I can't find a pic, but the State College Spikes had a "Ronal McDonald House" game last year and their uniforms were yellow with red and white striped sleeves for the game. They also wore pink uni's for Breast Cancer Awareness night.

Far, far worse.

Understatement.

You don't like blue jerseys from a team who's primary color is blue? The greys should be burned if you ask me. Keep the blues and the pinstripes.

 

Why is every team suddenly going to red uniforms? Astros a few years back, Dbacks this year, Pirates....
