Just when you thought the ST jersey's couldn't get worse...

Now I've seen other teams', and they decided to make that neck collar panel the same color as the rest of the jersey.

The Orioles for some strange reason decided to make it black...

[crowmst3k!]

wow, they're trying to get fancy.

[orayole]

I like it.

[Stanhouse.]

At least it's a button down. That pullover style from the last few years was a real downgrade over the circa 2005 version.

[JTrea81]

I like it.

It might grow on me, but the black neck and shoulders just seem out of place right now.

I wonder if they'll come out with a "Baltimore" version like the past couple of years?

[Peace21]

I'm actually digging the new look. Besides they are just spring training warm ups. Who cares?

Have you seen the back of them. They look cool.

[JTrea81]

Well they've used them as alternates before as well.

[Who's On 1st]

I like it.

I kinda like it as well. :)

[JTrea81]

Have you seen the back of them. They look cool.

Like I said, it might grow on me. The couple pics of them that I've seen looked strange but they look better in the video of the pitchers and catchers working out...

[SoYoCoTransplant]

I have to admit I like it

[Peace21]

The price for them is what I'm not loving though.

[crissfan172]

I like it.

Yup.


Thick potato soup with bacon.

[crissfan172]

Hmm...seeing the back actually makes me like them less.

[carolinaoriole]

I like it, it looks kind of modern.

I swear you complain just to hear yourself beatch. Next the green seats in the stands at Ed Smith won't be green enough for you.

Actually, I like the jerseys and the contrasting panels.

[Moose Milligan]

It's ok. Glad to see it looks like they did away with those stupid ST/BP hats, with the little flare on the side, though.

[El Gordo]

I like it a lot better than those stupid BP hats.

The neck panel might look strange to you because you can see the inside of the back side from the front in this photo. It might look better with someone wearing it.

[allstar1579]

Yeah they are built for breathing and to be cool in the heat and mugginess down there, not for style.

The first year they started using this cool mesh style I was down for a week in ST and talked to BRob about them, he said he loved them, they felt like they were 10 lbs lighter out there during a game. If you've ever played and worn those MLB style jerseys know what I mean.

[Vladdy11]

I like these jerseys, oh by the way I was watching Sports Unlimited on Fox45 and they showed the lockerroom including Vlad's #27 practice jersey. I know he hasn't officially taken and passed his physical but it was still good to see.

[I(heart)Birds]

Who cares?

You guys worry about some weird stuff.

[SrMeowMeow]

It looks like...an ugly spaceship.

[ChaosLex]

Sorry bud, but I gotta agree with the others.

Looks pretty slick to me. :)

[LookitsPuck]

Looks great.

OP just needs something to hate.

[allsighs]

Majestic is already on my s...list for not having a Mark Reynolds jersey up yet....of course i can put a little blame on Vlad for that...

[JTrea81]

Looks like the Tigers joined the O's in having different color shoulders:

http://shop.mlb.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1757487&cp=1452351.1452748

As did the Rockies (http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11084673&cp=1452350.1452738.1757488) and Mariners (http://http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11084724&cp=1452366.1452889.1757472).

So the O's weren't the only team to try to "spice" things up.

[JDRex05]

I actually really like them.

funny enough, in the "Buck Showalter" thread one of the first things I noticed in the photo was the jerseys, followed by "I wonder if they are for sale yet?"

[Mad Mark]

As long as they continue to believe that this version of the script looks good then it doesn't much matter what they slap it on. Looks like were in for at least three more years of the "i" being nearly as tall as the "l". Twenty minutes in Corel and this problem could be fixed. How is it that nobody who has any control over these things can't see how bad this script looks?

I just bought this jacket that Buck is wearing last week. $40 at TJ Max in Belair.

[Mad Mark]

The BP hats are still with us. Look at the back of Riske's cap. The coaches aren't wearing them, but the players are.

You bought it with short sleeves?

[crowmst3k!]

It's really unfortunate that the BP hats look so dumb, because they're clearly the most comfortable hat that New Era makes, IMO. Fitted perfectly, breathable material, and pre-curved bill.

[DuffMan]

I think the new jerseys are ok. I'm not crazy about them, but they are just for BP and Spring Training so I don't care too much.

Riske...:laughlol: Shirt looks good, the price, not so much.

[Orsulak4Prez]

TJ Maxx can be a great place to buy O's Gear sometimes. One time I got a Nike warmup jacket for $20. It's black with a single orange stripe going up the outside of each sleeve with the 80's cartoon bird patch on one side of the chest and a small Nike logo on the other side of the. Another time I got black T, with a large graphic of the 1954 Bird's face and no lettering.

[Dipper9]

You bought it with short sleeves?

Oh, I missed that. No, mine has long sleeves. Must be slightly different. Mine is kinda heavy too. I doubt Buck is wearing the heavy version down there.

The wife got a windbreaker type where the sleeves zip off and short orange sleeves are there, so it can be worn as a t-shirt.

Both jackets combined cost us $65. :thumbsup1:

[CrimsonTribe]

The jerseys are pretty good, but I really like this track jacket.

I agree with your thread title. Way too busy IMO.

[olehippi]

I find it somewhat incredulous that someone....well, actually not that someone.... would bother to complain about the design of ST uniforms; that others would enhance the conversation by complaining about the hat, too; and then fashion critic posters would add 3 pages (and counting) of comments on them.

FWIW, the uniforms are orange and black and that's all that matters to me. :)

[maudibjr]

Back in my day it was all wool, all the time. And we had only one color, gray, because we couldn't afford any other colors and their high falutin' ways and we liked it. And fancy hats were only worn by wimmin'.

I guess MacPhail can't wine and dine premium designers then, too?

I kid, I kid... :laughlol:

[ChrisAF79]

I find it hard to complain about the design of the uniforms, especially when all of MLB is using the same template for these.

They don't look great, but I don't think they're awful either. I give them a resounding "Meh".

[Leo Gomez]

Agreed that once again, the ST/BP jerseys and hats are appallingly ugly. Since I'm not in the market for any practice gear, it doesn't really bother me, unless they trot out on to the Yard for an actual regular season game wearing them.

On a similar note, why can't the club just come out with a true orange alt? I'd be ok with just an orange variation of the current set, but I'd be ecstatic if they went with a gorgeous retro set like this:

http://www.baseball-cards.com/jpgs/a/pc-murray2.jpg

[Eddie_Murray33]

I think they look pretty sharp. Might actually spring for one.

Now if we could just ditch the "O's" alternate caps and replace them with the 66-74 cartoon bird cap as our new alternates- we'd have a damn near perfect uniform set IMHO.:thumbsup1:

[BrewCity]

It's really unfortunate that the BP hats look so dumb, because they're clearly the most comfortable hat that New Era makes, IMO. Fitted perfectly, breathable material, and pre-curved bill.

Is this an actual "alternate" cap?

http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4060646&cp=1452344.1452610

I like it much better than the black one.:)

[Woody Held]

I like them also. MLB usually design these and the styling will be the same for all the teams.

[Don Quixote]

It would be better if the black panels were orange, especially the top/back. Having them orange would also increase the albedo of the jersey, thus reducing radiation receipt and resulting heat, however minuscule.

[clarence]

Since you started following the O's based on their hat, maybe you should quit them based on their freaking spring training jerseys. Expletive, expletive, expletive.

Now we're talkin... Something for us Euro inspired O's fans...

[SilentJames]

I like them. I'd buy one.

I really liked the orange batting practice jerseys from last year.

[Elrod]

I don't really care what they use as warm-up/SP jersey's, just as long as they don't use them as alternates in regular games, like last year. They need to come out with a real orange alternate, to go along with the white and black jerseys.

[PlumOriole]

I think it looks pretty good.
