MLB Teams Go Old School

Well after focusing so much on NBA logo's for the past month, a lot of other things have been going on too. For us Pirates fans, we know, painfully, it's another season in Major League Baseball. Since opening day, a lot of teams planned to don throwbacks, something that has very popular and trendy to do. For some teams it represents a nice reminder of the past and for other it reminds us of what some some teams need to look like again on the field. Hopefully, I don't forget anything that has happened so far...

The Toronto Blue Jays continue to wear their original baby blue throwbacks for Friday home games. These are nice reminders however, I still think they need to go back to when they won their World Series Championships in the 90's. For god sakes could a team with the word "blue" in their team name go back to wearing blue and ditch the black over tones.

The Brewers Have done a couple different throwbacks, solidifying that they don't like their current uniforms either. They recently wore Negro League era uniforms against the Mets (Mets also wore them and btw this is the only time in it's acceptable to use the word "negro" anymore). They've already been wearing this version for the last couple years now, so that's old news. Then there was the throwback match up versus the Phillies, with the Phils wearing the baby blues. I personally like the pinstripe duds they've been wearing the last couple years the best.

The Padres have been having Throwback Thursdays and break out the old mustard and yellow set they wore for the first twelve years of their existence. Well actually they wore that version in their first year. They add and then replace the yellow with orange back in the 80's. Wonder why that color combo didn't catch on? Who wouldn't want to wear the colors of poop and pee?  Definitely not the prettiest color set but it's original and for some odd reason, I like it. Not too many teams use brown at all (except the Cleveland Browns). I hate their current logo. They need to bring back the "swinging father" logo.

If you check out the Brewers Gallery above you'll see that the Phillies joined in the throwback fun and donned their 1980's baby blues. Baby blue is the new black, where in every team is trying to figure out a way to get in on it. The Phillies though did actually wear those at one point. Some teams looked better in the blues, but the Phillies? I actually think their current duds are a better look. Maybe if they just threw in a splash of the baby blue somewhere as a complementary color. Possibly an outlining color or something but those uniforms are a nice reminder of a point on their history.

The Braves also joined the Padres in the throwback festivities and put on their baby blues from the 80's. If you check out they Padres link about you'll see them in baby blue throwbacks too. Another cute reminder of the past but I'd stick with the Braves current unis. Although isn't weird about the Braves. They were all over the place with uniform designs including a really good one when Hank Aaron played for them. Then they came up with their current design and stuck with it for the past 23 years.

I think that's it so far but they're are more to come this season. If I missed one let me know.
