Nah, now you have a "throwback." I've got the initial "Baltimore" jersey with the split "t" and aggressive taper. Just a sign of the times.

That bird's bill better be to the side. The peak there in the middle worries me. Now, the space under the eyes is not even, so that is a good sign. But I will be very upset if the bill is pointed down or something. Take for example the picture below from Dumbo:

If the bird is wearing an "O's" cap, I'll cry.

From Roch -

Upon closer inspection, you'll find that the bird is wearing an O's cap.

See the silhouette I posted above. The beak is not pointing down. Also note that both the '66 and '75 bird logos have that same little peak you are talking about, as well.

Ah, I see. Thanks for correcting me and easing my worry. I wasn't sure if the silhouette was "official."

Yep, that's the actual shape of the new logo.

:rofl:Still don't understand the hate and outrage for the "O's" logo though. I think it's a nice logo that looks pretty clean and sharp on their caps.

Shall we start with the messed-up apostrophe?

If they're going to go with a letter on the cap, it should look like this

I'm a big fan of the cartoon bird, but somehow I find this just a cynical ploy to sell more merchandise. I just want to see a good baseball team, is that so much to ask?

All uniform changes are a ploy to sell merchandise. There are no performance related reasons to ever make a change in dress.
