Uni Watch which does a far better job about ripping black uniform than I’ll ever do has a nice article today (part 2 of 2) about what they call Black for Black’s Sake.
“Black For Black’s Sake†— or BFBS — it’s the second entry in the Uni Watch Glossary. It’s defined in there as “a reference to teams that gratuitously add black to their uniform design even though black was never one of their team colors.†Fittingly, the example is the New York Mets, the poster child for this seemingly endless fashion statement.
