Question: how often do teams wear their City Connect uniforms?

While I really couldn’t care less about this topic, I do have to say that the jersey is about the most unimaginative thing I’ve ever seen, and I don’t even know why they bothered.  A ten year old kid could have come up with a more interesting design.  

I’t looks like a 6 year old did it. So…you are kinda complementing it. Sorta.

I do love the fact they got Kondwani Fidel to do this poem again. I appreciate the way the org has really embraced the city - all of the city - the last few years by inviting local artists and really

The second that heinous Rockies uniform was placed first was the end of that article for me. lol  Uniforms are always in the eye of the beholders. Personally, I find these drab and boring. But th

I'm with you Tony...the entire "city"uniform is an insult to the proud tradition of Oriole logos and uniforms...I admit it, Im a hopeless "old school" "get off my lawn" guy when it comes to logos and

I thought the whole point of the CC series was to come up with shirts and caps (and matching socks) that  recognize city or team nicknames, qualities, color schemes or landmarks that aren't on the conventional unis. So someone here said, "Hmmm. Baltimore. What does that call to mind beside 'Baltimore,' or 'Orioles' or 'O's' or black, orange and white? I got it! 'Baltimore.'" Brilliant. The idea that Baltimore brings to mind absolutely nothing else worth putting on a uniform would be insulting if it weren't so pathetic.

The only thing I'll say about the effect of this shirt is that by sticking to black and white it highlights and draws attention to the only orange element on it: the Nike swoosh. Nice work there.

Adidas swoosh?  Nice.

I'd like to see the whole uniform displayed together before I make an actual decision on if I like them or not.

I get that, but there's really not much they could do to make it look good for me.

I mean, the Mariners latest one appears to be selling amongst their fans.  Blue and gold is a good combination.  The City Connect hats they have are nice, too, a good nod to their old ones from the 80s.

What they're not selling, however, is the gross black pants they wear these jerseys with.  No, you're only buying the tops.  I mean, if I were a Mariners fan I'd seriously consider getting one of these and I'm an adult who thinks other adults wearing jerseys look like absolute dorks.  

All of that is to say, I don't care about what the socks look like, I don't care what the pants look like.  There's not much they could do to save what is a bland, boring, simply awful jersey no matter how great the pants are, no matter how interesting the socks are, no matter how great the hat is.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.

      This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.

      These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.

      I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.

      It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
