Rally and announcement 11/12?

[Dipper9]

No, I didn't see any special announcement either like Roch had indicated.

Yeah...ever since the Loewen debacle, Roch's credibility is going to hell!

[Mad Mark]

So nothing special for Sundays?

I get the distinct feeling you'll see the home BPs on Sundays. No other real reason to put NOB on ML BP jerseys for the first time in team history otherwise.

[Sports Guy]

I can't stand the orange bill on the hat.

[Mad Mark]

Anyone know that MLB teams can only change uniforms every three years?

I didn't...

Either that's a new rule, or it doesn't apply to jersey scripts, which the Orioles changed in 1995, 1996 (twice!), 1997, 1998 (twice!), 1999, 2000 and 2004.

What was the turnout like at the rally?

Also curious as to why BRob wasn't at this event. He's arguably the O's most popular player.

[Sports Guy]

So basically, they put a patch on the side and Baltimore on the road jerseys and that's it?

Have you heard? We're supposed to read the tea leaves and presume that means Roberts might be traded.

[BaltBird 24]

Viviano said there were around 2500 people at the event. Pretty much as many people showed up to see the new uniforms as they did to watch games the last couple months of the season.

[The Wedge]

So basically, they put a patch on the side and Baltimore on the road jerseys and that's it?

They also put names on the backs of the BP's, changed the piping, and another cosmetic detail I can't remember.

[Moose Milligan]

I can't stand the orange bill on the hat.

I thought you hated the whole baseball fashion thing and hated when threads about jerseys and hats muddied up the front of the board, getting in the way of ultra important make believe trade business?

[Moose Milligan]

Meh, whatever.

I like the roadie. The home version isn't all that great, but whatever.

So it's between a Nick roadie and a Nick 1983 throwback. I have a tough decision to make.

Still bummed about the hats though.

[JaySpurgeon00]

Baltimore should have been put on the logo. I was disappointed in that. They made such a big deal about it being on every jersey, and its so simple to do.

Stupid to put names on a BP jersey and possibly wear it on Sundays. Just make a regular Orange Jersey. I know ppl on here were in support of that.

Overall, I am happy with the changes, like any change everyone will eventually get used to it.

[TonySoprano]

The Orioles have added new desktop wallpapers with the new uniforms.

[Why Not?]

I'm not fond of the orange bill. Still, Balmer on the roadies is the real change and that's undeniably a good one.

Another promotion without Brian Roberts involved. I think the writing is on the wall. We are not likely to see Roberts on opening day.
