Another minor uniform change - back to old-school helmets

[David]

Yep. Grays suck.

[goonys evil twin]

Can't say I'm going to miss the airflow helmets or the red-billed caps. I hated both of them.

[Connor McConnor]

Love the grays. Understated and cool.

 

Will look great with the all blue regular helmet.

[Andy]

The grays should be set on fire. They are awful.

[Derwood]

The bluess should be set on fire. They are awful.

[fivepercent]

come on now, the all-grey roads are fantastic.

 

This, and they'll look better now that they'll be paired with the all-blue hat.

 

one fan's opinion- the grey set with the all-blue hat will never look better because all grey sucks. and so did ditching the road hat.

 

baseball is the only team sport where the color of the jersey of the team doesn't matter in any fashion of gameplay whatsoever. not in scoring, not in officiating, not offense, defense, nothing at all. and with the advent of color television, baseball has been aggravatingly slow in modernizing the uniforms to where they actually look good on television. and with hdtv technology, even moreso. you do not need grey road uniforms anymore. i like the astros for that practice last year for either not, or very rarely, wearing a grey top on the road. we have better manufacturing technology so that unis can be made of team colors now cheaper than they could a grey uniform. i would encourage baseball now to do what the other sports do and have a colored set to wear on the road. it looks better on television and that doesn't hurt.

 

are you saying you think the cubs should wear blue tops and bottoms on the road?

[Mephistopheles]

baseball has done enough modernizing with steroids, baggy pants, low socks and vests the last twenty years.

And the blues need to get some more respect around these parts. They're nothing like the pinstripes - but they are so, so much better than those nasty gray uniforms.

How are baggy pants modern?

I like the grays much better than the blue tops. Blue tops should never be worn at home.

 

Go back to the grays with the Cuba script, I say!

[XZero771679666304]

Baggy pants aren't at all modern. The baggy pants/low socks combo is relatively new.

 

But the baggy pants/high socks are about as retro (and awesome) as it gets.

Yeah, I am totally over the blue tops. They need to go, or be worn much less frequently.

So really the exact same thing only with low socks.

I think those are more tarps tied around their waists than they are actual clothes. :wink:

no, but that's an intriguing thought... :-k

 

i could even be convinced grey with blue pants would be better.
