Is it just me, or do the Indians introduce a few new uniform styles every off-season? Typically, I can at least tell the difference – for example, when they switched to the retro-style uniforms with the block “Indians” and “Cleveland” (for away games) on the front.
When I saw the story about the new uniforms for 2012, I felt like I was playing one of those games where I try to find the differences between two photos. Are these supposed to be different and new? Is it just that the “piping” is removed? Am I the only one not seeing a noticeable difference here? I thought maybe the hat was different, but nope…that looks the same too.
I know that teams mix up their uniforms every so often in order to sell more jerseys, retro-style jerseys, etc. to fans. Who in their right mind would say “well, I have that jersey with the piping, so now I’d better run out and spend $100 on this version”?
So anyway, the cream and gray retro-style ones I mentioned will also stay around for next year, and they’ll also wear these uniforms. I know that your Black Friday was incomplete without this information.
i myself am partial to the home alternate (creme) with Indians….classic look….
I particularly like the block C hats…I think that’s a cool retro-style look.
