I can't believe this thing hasn't leaked yet. I remember the Blue Jays logo leaked a few years back...
I like that it hasnt been leaked yet. Builds up the anticipation just a little.

I think it may have something to do with the fact that last year everything leaked...except for the Braves blue road alternate. I'm sure nobody was happy with that scenario.

I like that it hasn't been leaked either, just not because the build-up of anticipation. That part is killing me. I want to know now. I'm just happy the people in charge of this have things under control enough that it hasn't been leaked or that people who have the opportunity to leak it have chosen not to do so out of respect to the club's wishes. On the other hand, I can't wait and I would be lying if i said I'd be disappointed if they did leak.

Anywho, I'm interested to see how much of an overhaul there is....anyone know if our logo will change as well? I imagine they'll throw Baltimore back on that as well. Thoughts?

I hope so. I'd love to see a new logo. I can't stand the current logo, with Orioles in script, bird perched on top, diamond in the back. My favorite is the swinging Cartoon Bird in the circle logo. If they could design something similar, that could be cool.

UPDATE

From Roch Kubatko:

I was invited to the third floor of the warehouse today to take a look at the new Orioles uniforms, which will be unveiled at Wednesday's downtown rally.

I can't provide any specifics at this time, but keep checking masnsports.com before Wednesday at noon.

I will say that some changes to the home, road and alternate jerseys and caps will be quite noticeable, others more subtle. The club wanted to strike a balance between giving a nod to its past and being contemporary and looking toward the future.

The rest of the article can be found here:

I'll shoot down a few rumors:

The Orioles haven't added Yankee pinstripes.

They haven't changed their name to "Rays."

The logo on the caps hasn't been changed to a cartoon Larry Bird, which would only make sense in Boston.

The players won't wear gray road jerseys whenever the Red Sox come to Camden Yards.

Though hoping to distract fans from 11 straight losing seasons, the Orioles won't change every uniform number to 2,131.

Aubrey Huff's road jersey won't have "Horse(bleep) Town" stitched across the chest.

None of the jerseys have "Teixeira" on the back.

Brian Roberts' jersey doesn't include a Cubs logo.

The road jersey doesn't say "Baltimore/Washington"

:laughlol:

spoiler alert-I think I have found the new hat logo. http://www.neweracap.com/nshop/product.php?view=detail&productid=NE-PERFACBALHM77&startColor=blackorange&hatGroup=71&hatFit=&groupName=MenMLB&searchBy=group&prevHatGroup=&prevHatFit=&resetDropDown=hatFit

I figured I would check out new era's website since they make the official hats. They have a new batting practice hat on the Orioles main page as well. I am looking foward to the uniforms, but if the new bird logo does not impress me much. They haven't updated the road hat yet, I am guessing the same logo as the home hat.

Hmm that bird does look different, but I don't see much of a change to the logo. I thought it was going to be a fiercer looking bird...

That looks more like the type of change they made between the 1998 and 1999 seasons when they made the bird look younger. It almost looks like they are going back to the 90's bird.

If that's accurate it looks like a mix of the older (early-90s) and present ornithologically-correct birds.

I really hope that's not the hat. I see no difference between that bird and the one we currently have.

Look at the way the legs are positioned. The new/old bird looks like it is in flight, while the current bird is in a standing position.

Guess you could say instead of standing around in 4th-5th place, these new Orioles are going to fly to the top of the standings... :)

      Playoff closer

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I would be OK with this and it’s what Hyde was doing with Kimbrel in a way too. We’ve got guys that can match up, let’s try to take advantage.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      By accinfo · Posted

      A 90 win season with Grayson missing at least 10 starts, Means and Bradish missing at least 20 each.  Throw in Tyler Wells missing most of the season and other injuries I think this team and its management has done well.  If just a little more healthy they could have had back to back 100 win seasons.  I am glad we have Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde leading this team.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Some interesting things of note from https://www.samford.edu/sports-analytics/fans/2023/Sabermetrics-101-Understanding-the-Calculation-of-WAR. I pulled out the relevant areas: Fangraphs allocates 570 WAR for position players and 430 WAR for pitchers, while Baseball-Reference allocates 590 WAR for position players and 410 WAR for pitchers The major difference between fWAR and bWAR comes from the measurement of fielding runs, which is the defensive output a player provides. Fangraphs uses a statistic called Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR), while Baseball-Reference uses a statistics called Defensive Runs Saved (DRS). The differences in these stats can lead to drastically different calculations in WAR for some position players. UZR takes into account 3 years of players’ data as well as MLB data to determine these percentages, whereas DRS uses essentially 1 year of data. Therefore, some rookies will have drastically different UZR and DRS stats. As opposed to positional players, Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference take drastically different steps in calculating the WAR of pitchers. It does not follow the formula for position players but does try to calculate the “wins” that a pitcher gives to their team. Instead, they use a “base” statistic to help calculate WAR. Fangraphs uses FIP, or fielding independent pitching, as its base for calculating pitchers' WAR, whereas Baseball-Reference focuses on Runs Allowed per 9 innings (RA9) for its base I think the main takeaway for Gil, bWAR likes him more than FanGraphs probably because FG aims to take the defensive element out of the calculation by centering on FIP. And if we look at FIP, his is close to 4. But Baseball Reference is using RA9 which does have a defensive element inherently calculated. As for Cowser, I reckon FG likes him more than BBRef particularly on the defensive metric side of things. Maybe BBRef is harsher on the DRS side than FG is on the UZR side. To me, I like FG for pitchers far more than BBRef. For position players, I’d give the nod to FG but mainly because I think DRS can have some wide swings where UZR has a tendency to be more centered.

      Climbing the list of most O’s wins in two consecutive seasons

      By Frobby · Posted

      The win tonight in game 161 allowed the 2023-24 Orioles to reach 191 wins, tied with the 1964-65 and 1965-66 teams for the 7th most wins in consecutive seasons.  With a win tomorrow, they could move up to a tie for 5th. Tonight’s win also gave the O’s 275 wins over the last 3 seasons, tied for 11th with the 1975-77 and 1976-78 O’s.  They could move into a tie for 10th with a win tomorrow.
