[Claws for Concern]

It's actually an OK look to me.

 

[Jones]

Edgar Gonzalez looks very angry.

 

[Gutter]

I'm having a hard time reading their jerseys ... font is too small.

 

[markvid]

This mean no more purple?

 

[Trouser_Buddah]

Chris Young, representin'.

 

[Oz]

Are the other teal teams going to follow suit and abandon their roots? While these might be sharp, I can't stand it when teams change their entire color scheme.

 

[Armchair_QB]

The Astros called. They want their color scheme back.

 

[Freelance Hack]

For the love of God, why can't Eric Byrnes tuck in his ****ing shirt!

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

They should be more worried about Tony Clark's grey beard.

 

[HoopsMcCann]

any time purple and teal are taken out of circulation, it's a good thing

 

[BigRed]

Those are fugly.
Ladies and gentlemen, YOUR Tucson TOROS!!!!!

I actually like them. A huge upgrade over their originals and the many tweaks that have been made to them since. Now a complete abandonment of their former colour scheme may be a bit much, but they are still ahead of where they were yesterday. It is much like when the Phoenix Coyotes dropped their art-deco schemed pyjamas for what they have now.

I like' em too. That logo on the sleeve is pretty slick. 'Course, I didn't mind the old set, but this is an upgrade.

Valid point, but the D-Backs ain't exactly the Dodgers in terms of tradition.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

I think they look pretty sweet. The only thing I'd change is the close resemblance to what the Astros have...

 

[Columbo]

It's a little 70s Indians meets '80s Padres, too.

Baseball has too many softball jerseys, though.

NFL has such a variety of colors.

Baseball... filled with dark helmets and jerseys.

Good threads in general...

It is indeed annoying when teams change their entire scheme, but it's also true that the annoyance factor is directly proportional to the amount of tradition involved. In other words, Mets wearing black caps is about a seven, to me, on the 1-to-10 annoying-o-meter...while the D-Backs dropping the 90s teal and purple crap is more like a one.

The only thing difficult about this change is that there are now two teams in the NL whose colors are khaki and brick. Baseball, meet J.Crew.

Four different uniforms, two different hats. Eight possible uniform combinations.

Call me a traditionalist, but I still think the Yankee uniform is the best. One hat, one home uniform, one visiting uniform.

 

[writing irish]

****, I didn't see all the multiple cap options. I hate multiple caps.

Only the We Are Fam-a-lee Pirates should be allowed the indulgence of eight uni combos.

And if I remember correctly, those Buccos had only one lid...although the amount of Stargell Stars varied from Pirate to Pirate.
