[JimGinSP]

Stir open, apparentlty the proposed sale has been delayed.  
Maybe this iconic tag is available?

As poor as the picture quality is with MASN you think folks will be able to decipher those patches?

Before each game he broadcasts on the radio, Kevin Brown goes into extreme detail decribing the uniform of each team, colors of shirts, pants, caps, what the logo says, if it is in script or not, whether there are stripes, pinstripes, etc.   I wonder if he will add describing the advertising patches to his minute long pregame uniform shpiel?

I thought same thing. I did see the Caps have a book on their jerseys. Not sure. 
 

Games start tomorrow. Opening Day is only 5 weeks from yesterday. I bet we find out soon. 

Often though teams don't wear their regular season uni's in the preseason.   Uniform changes/unveilings/etc usually happen with the regular season opener.

Yeah it's available, they went out of business a few months ago.

They are putting gambling halls inside the ballparks now.

Decorum was run out of town a while ago.

Decorum is in the eye of the beholder. 

Or in baseball terms: "Was this a thing when I was in the 4th grade? If not, it sucks, I hate it, and I'm never watching baseball again. Well, at least until the season starts."

I 100% guarantee that if the owners of 1885 could have made $300 a year by putting an ad for McQuigley's Miracle Brain Tonic on their jerseys they'd have done it in a second. They certainly put ads on every square inch of the ballparks they could.

I don't think 1885 was the peak year for decorum in baseball.

Missed chance to have a Sarastoa business on the Spring Training uniforms.

It wasn't a thing when I was in the 4th grade.  But astroturf was, and that's gone.

It wasn't a thing when I was in the 5th or 6th grade.  Or 7th or 8th.  Or all the way up until I was a married father with a kid.

And if Sterling K. McCrotchety could have made $300 dollars for the 1885 Soda Springs Idaho Bottle Poppers then he f'ing should have.

Yea, the game hadn't been around long enough for most folks to be mad that it wasn't the same as when they were in the 4th grade.

And they probably didn't look too fondly on the 4th grade, since that was the year half the town died in that typhoid epidemic.  Plus, they'd dropped out of school after the 2nd grade to go work in the hide tannery at 75 cents a day.

The Union should negotiate for a player patch in the next CBA.

They could just buy an ad right now!

Didn't know Brandon Hyde's great grandfather owned a tannery. The historical facts I learn on here are amazing.

Didn't your pappy tell you about going up in the woods to use this metal thing to scrape bark off the trees, and they'd use that to tan the hides? It backbreaking work, you got paid next to nothing, and everyone died at the age of 37. 

But at least the local nine didn't have ads on their jerseys.

Ugh, that's terrible.  The NBA jerseys are awful with their stupid advertisements.

The hats are bad enough with the New Era logo on them.  I'm an adult and I don't buy player jerseys anymore but this isn't NASCAR.  There's enough advertising on the outfield fences.

There's no decorum anymore.

It drove me insane when euro soccer clubs started doing it, but it eventually becomes wallpaper and meh.  Definitely tough to swallow at first.

He missed a chance when he didn't name any of his children Tanner.

Funny you see people on the internet talking about the good old days when the US was great. Just because food poisoning was rampant ,two World Wars, really unsafe working conditions and polio and other killer diseases.Those were gentler and calming times.
