I say this as a Yankee fan, even I wouldn't want the Red Sox to wear something that ghastly.

Seconded. They're the enemy, but I still respect their heritage.

Heritage? It's a Goddamn baseball jersey. Cripes.

Frankly Ameri, you moan about random crap that's not hurting anyone all the time. Let us have our moment to moan and groan about this crime against baseball and also against our eyes.

[Ameriganastan]

No, I don't think I will. You people have been complaining about this for like 3 days. You got such a freaking problem with it, then don't watch the TWO FREAKING GAMES where they wear them. Easy.

[Jabberwocky]

ThE angels STILL don't have any starting pitching!

[The Two Jerseys]

Imagine thinking that the assholes at Nike will stop at two games...

[United Dependencies]

Gonna be a long season for the Rays, I can feel it in my bones.

Yes yes, you're such a rebellious hero for hating Nike. We're all so impressed...

Hating Nike is fairly mainstream and yes they are a poison to all athletics

You're one to talk. Acting like some alternate jerseys that are gonna be worn TWICE are part of some big, giant conspiracy.

That's because it is a conspiracy.

That conspiracy is called CAPTILISM. You hate it so much, then find yourself a time machine and go back in time to Soviet Russia. Until then, quit caterwauling about sports jerseys.

Here's that play at the plate to end the Orioles/Yankees game which i referred to earlier on this page:
Its akin to seeing a bully get punched in the mouth

Slide headfirst pay the price.

Indeed! He laid there for about 2 minutes then was assisted off the field. He took a real good pop. He'll be okay though. Nice way for the O's to end a 12 game skid at Yankee Stadium.

Still safer than a full bore collision at the plate, so I guess its progress. Maybe a hook slide would have been better.

Thanks but no thanks. If they didn't want us to complain, they shouldn't have made such abominations.

Also I don't believe for a moment that it's gonna be two games and done. They're making these same style alternates for every team, some of them not being released until 2023. The only way they're not gonna use these jerseys again next year is if we the fans complain loud enough to convince them to stop this fool's errand.

So what? Are they forcing you to buy them? Are they forcing these to be the new main uniforms? Are they gonna hurt how the team plays? The answer to all 3 is no. So give it a rest.

The New York Knicks have four different uniforms this season. The league is forcing them to wear their "City" uniform more than their actual road uniform...that is, they would if the NBA actually gave a shit about having designated home and away uniforms anymore.

Now let's not pretend that Nike and MLB are above forcing the ballclubs to have a half dozen alternate uniforms each season and scripting which uniform will be worn for each game like the NBA does.

For the sole purpose of sucking more cash out of its audience and creating a fake collectibles market.

You are just determined to act like this is a big deal, aren't you?

And you're just determined to dismiss the loyal fans who don't want their teams' identities to be sacrificed just so Nike can make some money, aren't you?

Jesus Christ, TWO GAMES. THEY ARE WEARING THEM FOR TWO. FREAKING. GAMES That's it. They're still gonna be called the effing Boston Red Sox, they're still gonna play in Fenway, they're still gonna cheat, etc. This does not impact you in any way.

I find it slightly amusing the way you're reacting now that we're on the opposite sides of this equation for once.

And I still don't buy that it's only for two games for the reasons I already stated.

The NFL (and Nike) sold us Color Rush as a Thursday Night Football promotion, yet we ended up with the 2019 Browns dressing as turds for 7 out of 16 games. There's absolutely no way that Nike is going to let MLB limit teams wearing these rags to a mere 1.2% of the season.

[Ameriganastan]

I give up. Clearly you're determined to make a whole big thing out of this, so I'm done wasting my time.

Oh gosh, imagine all the terrible potential color rush renditions of each team. And imagine the MLB and Nike makes teams wear them during the playoffs cause that's where Nike can make the most money.
