Palmeiro's Sunday jersey
« on: April 17, 2006, 02:08:34 pm »
Anybody else notice he wore the 'Astros' batting practice jersey for the first half of the game Sunday, then switched to the regulation 'Houston' jersey by the 5th inning?

I think Biggio did this once last year, too.

I'm not a fan of the five jerseys (white pinstripes, white no pinstripes, red home, gray, red away).

I agree completely, yet for some reason I own one of each.  Too many teams use red, and it's not enough of a Houston tradition to use it for three jerseys (when you include BP).  I wish they just had the white no pinstripes, grey, and black, if they HAD to have an alternate.

My vote would be white, no pinstripes, and gray.  No alternates.  Oh, and I'd replace the brick red with ORANGE.

I have it on good authority that as soon as the sales figures dip for the current unis, something orange and dark dark blue is planned.

And the fuckers have been playing around with burnt orange instead of the "orange" orange.

I suppose intent was to "link" the Astros with the UT.  If so, that's terribly cheesy.

Not quite.  In the world of futbol it is most famously the Stasi-sponsored Berlin team.  Are you going to ask what the Stasi were?

I know who the Stasi were.  Futbol is a different matter.  I don't know jack about soccer.

I think the best hockey team in the Russian league is Moscow Dynamo (Ovechkin's old team, I think).  Another post-WWII legacy, I guess.

Just FTR, "Dynamo" is used by a number of teams in Europe, such as those in Tibilisi and Kiev.  It's a rare team name, as compared to "United", for example, but works the same way.

I do believe there is only one professional team called the "Academicals", however.

It's nice to see OP had his head in the game with forgetting to put on his jersey. I guess being the last person to get a start will do that to you.

Usually it's a logistical thing rather than forgetting to put on his jersey after BP. He probably accidentally took it back to the hotel, forgot it, and didn't realize until it was time to suit up.
