No black on Reds' jerseys in '07

 

ST. LOUIS - The Reds are planning to eliminate black from their uniforms next season, such as the trim around the wishbone "C" on the left chest of their white pinstriped home jerseys.

 

The change was first reported by ESPN.com, which also said the only reason the team will wait to do it is that there already is too much black and red merchandise on hand. That is not accurate, according to a Reds official.

 

Whenever a team makes any changes to its uniforms, Major League Baseball requires several months of lead time so its apparel manufacturers can have stock in place when it comes time to roll out the new gear. Because the decision was made by the new ownership group that didn't officially take over until January, the team will have to wait until the 2007 season to unveil new uniforms.

 

The Reds are considering using blue trim in some places, as they did in the 1960s, but that decision is not final yet.

Not sure if I totally agree with this. The Reds are one of the few teams that can pull off the black without it looking out of place (Blue Jays, Mets, Marlins to an extent).

The Marlins black unis are my favorite.

The only good black uniss are the Marlins and the Mets.

I like it.

 

Festa what is that site you use to come up with those jersey things?

screw black ... everyone has black nowadays

The Marlins black unis are my favorite.

Weren't they going to make orange the Marlins' third color for uniforms a few years ago?

i dont think an orange jersey was ever going to happen, but in 2004 they did start putting orange on pretty much everything but the uniforms

 

as for the Reds, i think theyre better off with black

good.

 

 

the reds never any business with black on their jerseys in the first place.

I like the new colors, they look "Original".

Thank god. The orange Dolphins uniforms are ugly enough. They remind me of those vests prisoners who pick up highway trash wear.
