Jump in the DeLorean

Just like Doc Brown and Marty, let's jump in the DeLorean and go back in time see what what was and if we want to bring it back.

Recently I've been posting about how teams are celebrating anniversaries and plan to wear throwbacks on certain home games. I think it would be great to see teams go to special uniforms for a whole year to celebrate. That includes no pajama pants, and guys have to wear the pant mid calf with stirrups. Jerseys must be somewhat tight and not hanging off them like a sheet. What is your opinion on some of the older looks? Should teams stick to classic look, for some that's all they have:

Or should teams be willing to poke a little fun at themselves and have to wear some of the bright, gawdy duds form the 70's?

 

Would you be up for mix and match of hats and jerseys from different years? Let me know what you would like to see, and soon I will start a team by team of the top five uniforms of each team that I would like to see again.  

Old scholl or new school?

I'm really not sure which Mariners team showed up last night. The names of the players sound like players from 2010, but the uniforms and the play looked like 1982. I wanted to give a thank you to the Brewers for getting the 1982 throwbacks right, right down to the double-snap, no belt retro pants. Now if only the players would have worn the old school stirrups.

The M's looked good for a few innings, like the team that won 6 in a row. Then the fourth inning came, and we looked like we have all year, lousy! Let's hope the pitcher with the greatest last name can help right the ship tonight. Go get 'em, Mr. Fister! This team drives me crazy, but I still love them.

Reliving the Alternate

I decided that after wearing the '95 throwbacks Teal jerseys on Saturday, I wanted to look back in my Topps archives and see how much it was represented. Surprisingly, Topps has did many cards with the teals. Most were done on the road with gray pants. I think the teal would be a great Sunday alternate. If other teams can do powder blue or some other alternate, why can't the Mariners? MLB would love the extra revenue, I'm sure.

I still love Teal!!

Even though the Mariners took a whooping yesterday, you have to love the throwbacks to the '95 season. I really like when a team gets it right for both teams. Not only did the Mariners have the hats and helmets with the teal bills, they also decked out the Angels in the correct unis, including batting helmets. Nice move Mariners.
