Hey Tiki, I don't know if I've ever seen this. With less than two weeks left in the season...

..the Rays...I mean Devil Rays unveil their "new" road unis, effective immediately. They aren't exactly the same as their '98 set, but close.

I guess 90s nostalgia is in full swing.

LOL, so they wore their old unis in Game One and lost.

Wore these new ones in Game Two, won, and clinched the division...in their first time wearing them.

I've seen premier league teams roll out their next kit the final game of the season*

Can the Ray not be going up in direction? Shift the Bay over to have the B under T

And flip the ray the other direction and going slanted up.
Going down just fells blah and defeatist

These are so much better than their bland current jerseys*

Agreed. Even if you don't like these, at least they have personality.

Their current set is so bland it looks like the "Tampa Bay" team on a non-MLB licensed mid-90s game for the SNES.

Every single thing about that franchise is bland

Go Yankees.

Worse baseball stadium I've ever been to.

Fuck it, worse stadium period.

Not worst ever but in the top 3

Olympic Stadium and old Exhibition in Toronto are
In the picture

County Stadium in Milwaukee and Arlington Stadium were up (down) there as well

not to mention Cleveland Muni, or the cookie-cutters like Riverfront, Three Rivers, and Veterans.

What we've become is contrary to what we want
Take a bow

I would put County and Riverfront well ahead of the three I mentionned

Never went too Cleveland’s old one. Had a chance to go to 1981 AS game there but by mom didn’t think it was a good idea for an 11 year old to go on bus trip sponsored by a local tavern. She was probably right. 😂

I’ll introduce the old Metrodome into the chat. Went to a Twins game there once and

it was horrendous. Might not be as bad as St Pete, but in the conversation.

HOT TAKE: The Metrodome, IMO, is/was better than Rogers Centre

maybe it was the obnoxious Yankees fans or maybe the lack of AC, but regardless I didn't like Rogers. Toronto, OTOH, is awesome*

County: one of the times I was there, big fight at the top of the bleachers.

All the entrances to the seating area were at the bottom of the bleachers... Milwaukee cops just looked up from that entrance and let them fight it out for a while.

Long ago, obviously.

I may have been at that one. Was at a Sox/Brewrs game as a kid and the whole section was fighting*

Did the shipment get lost in the warehouse or something?

They fired the kit manager right before the season and nobody opened the boxes in his office until this week?

Just seems really strange to do this now, rather than waiting until next season.
