Maybe my pun response is so ingrained that it's unconscious!

Same, can't really tell what is going on there. I just don't like the gray, look like some CFL bull

Isn't the entire purpose of an alternate jersey that it be pretty cool and totally unnecessary?*

Pre-1960s football throwbacks are nearly impossible to do well.

The uniform cut was totally different, the designs were out there, the helmets were meh.

Which yet again is why the fact the Illini fucking nailed it never ceases to bring me unbridled joy.

The older you get, just tell yourself once in a while, not everything is supposed to be for you, and that's OK.

Are they overexposed? Absolutely. Is it innocent fun in a time that everyone needs that? Absolutey. Is their fan base kids and horny moms? Absolutely. Is that OK? Absolutely.

Though not for me, if it brings kids to the sport it's good for baseball.

...and I can't imagine the joy those players, who are great at the sport but not good enough for the pros, were feeling getting to play in Wrigley Field this weekend. I mean dream come true shit...

"You must own the honor of being the whitest, military vet, fat, multiple state property owner but most of all the one who hates their own country the most in our country."

I don't hate it, but just didn't expect Ghey Baseball to be a thing people were interested in.

Even regular baseball sometimes has a viewership/attendance problem.

I think it honestly boils down to people just want something lighthearted and fun in an era where everything feels so heavy all the time.

Glad people are enjoying the bananas.

Kerry Wood made one of the most amazing trick pitches I've ever seen.

Along similar lines, lots of folks get up in arms over ads on jerseys and it doesn’t bother me a bit

I don’t want to see a casino name plastered across the front. A small patch somewhere I can live with, but I truely detest them

Recrudescence

I kind of like the helmet. I feel like if the Bills wore this 50 years ago people would love it
