Holy cow. I mean holy cow bad.
In a new twist on what has quickly become a vibrant event, Players’ Weekend, to be held this year on Aug. 23-25 – an opportunity for players to showcase their passions, backgrounds and interests by putting their personal touches, including nicknames, on what they wear and the equipment they use — will feature monochromatic black or white uniforms.
Each home team will decide which color — black or white — it will wear for the weekend, which means we could have some road teams wearing white for a change. Pitchers on teams wearing white will wear black caps to ensure umpires and batters have clear visibility of each pitch. (via MLB.com)
So how bad could they be? So bad that I am saying I WISH THE METS COULD WEAR BLACK UNIFORMS. That’s how bad! Here…look…
No I didn’t break my website. That’s an actual jersey that goes with this cap.
Can you even see it? Which team are we?
I hope they wear the slightly less horrific black….
It appears that the Mets will be wearing white as the MLB Shop is not selling black jerseys (wow the day came where I am mad the Mets don’t have black jerseys).
And yes, once again for Players’ Weekend, there will be self-selected nicknames. And lots of ’em. (via MLB.com)
