The same way so many pro teams in all sports decided they need black in their unis.  The Knicks, Devils, and Mets, e.g.

Thank God for the Yankees! :-)

Harvard and Yale have kept theirs the same for a long time, and I think that's a good thing.  What's lame is a new look every few years.

Although the Yankees are occasionally guilty of wearing their dark blue practice jerseys in games.  Stick with the pinstriped whites at home and the greys on the road.

How many teams at any level have good 3rd jerseys.  Look at the yellow Bruins jerseys.  At least the Sox red jerseys aren't horrible, but they certainly aren't the classics of the normal unis.

Talk about thread drift. :-}

Actually, they are horrible.  If the sports gods wanted major league baseball teams to wear red, blue, orange or any other colored tops--or tops that don't button down the front--they wouldn't have had to invent softball.

[RichS]

true.  See, if you guys had just believed me when I said the color is "gold", then Drew would never have had to mention "orange" re: Velveeta and we'd still be on topic.   :-)

[RichS]

How did you do that?:-(

Put the Yankkes back!

And btw, any Red Sox jersey is horrible by definition.  :-}

[cth95]

I don't like them, but they could be worse.  They do have sleeves unlike some of the newer jerseys.  I don't think red is a bad color, however.  Especially as related to this forum :-) , and that it is far better than yellow.

[RichS]

Really?

I can't recall ever having seen them in a game.  But if so, I agree.

Aren't they actually what they warm up in during BP, etc rather than practice jerseys?

[RichS]

better than yellow perhaps but no way is it better than gold and that's what Tech wears!  ;-)

By the way, just to add some irony here.  One of my high school's biggest rivals wore green and gold, although not quite the same shade of green.  I grew up hating that color combo; until I got to Potsdam of course.

Anyone here dislike red pre-college?

Just busting you with a little cut-and-pasting in the quote. I couldn't resist. I wasn't expecting such a reaction.  Thanks for the good laugh.

I hate the Yankees, but I do respect both the Sox and Yankee classic styles.  I am glad  that there is now a little red mixed into to the Sox away unis, unlike in the 80's when the "Boston" was just dark blue with no border, though.  Those were too boring.

Sorry about the thread drift everyone else.

[RichS]

What...no telephones down south?  :-}

As far as I know, the Yankees do not wear blue tops in games except during spring training.  They only started doing that fairly recently too.  When I was a kid I was very proud of the fact that my team didn't wear cheesy practice jerseys in Florida games.

The Red Sox red jerseys are absolutely awful. The Mets orange is worse, but their both horrid.  I'd almost rather watch the Pirates in their 1979 mustard uniforms or the Astros in the orange rainbow.

Whatever his other faults (and he has many, many, many) at least Steinbrenner firmly believes in Yankee tradition.  I'm not worried about new style uniforms in the Bronx while he's alive.

[q]Useless FYI: Velveeta was invented (do you "invent" cheese?) in Orange County, NY.[/q]Of course you can invent cheese.  Someone just did it a few thousand years ago.
