(If I missed a team, please comment)
So far, three teams have announced uniform changes for the 2008 season. The Rays (formally the Devil Rays or DRays) had the biggest change with a complete new team name, logo, and whole set of uniforms. As I posted earlier, they look pretty awful. To quote one of my neighbors, “They look like they are a retirment home team now”
The Phillies were next team to announce a uniform change. They added an alternate uniform that has no pinstripes, same type face, but everything is surrounded in blue, a red race stripe outline with blue down the pants and a blue hat with a red bill. I hate to admit but out of the three teams that added or changed uniforms so far this offseason, theirs look the best.
The Royals revealed today their new alternate uniforms that are powder blue jersies. Yes, powder blue. To go along with the uniforms, they added a slogan “new blue tradition.” (I believe their official slogan is still True Blue Tradition, and they changed it to new blue tradion for the uniform show) These uniforms also get a thumbs down.
