Apparently the team does want the "Bird Gibson" hat/all-red uniforms in regular season but it was the league rejecting the number of uniform combos I guess. Someone asked BD3 about it at WWU.

That makes no sense to me because Giants get "Orange Friday" home jerseys. I would love a "Red Friday" equivalent.
“Bird Gibson” - do you mean this guy?

The powdered "french blue" jersey with 'St. Louis" is already the "City Connect." They'll have to go with a radical design to differentiate itself from this alternate one.

This is doomed.

It's gonna say "The Lou" with like a big fleur-de-lis in the corner and maybe a bird taking a crap on it. It will be worn for one game before fans say "no thanks." The only ones to purchase these "The Lou" jerseys will be from affluent St. Louis County where most of their tax dollars economically disenfranchise the city proper. What a time to be alive.

We need a Yadibird Molina logo with terrible neck tats.

I hope they don't have red pants with this uniform.

It would be cool to build around Red Friday, especially with that badass bird.

I like the idea of celebrating communities - Chicago with Wrigleyville/Southside neighborhood theme. Boston paying homage to the Marathon. Miami connecting to the Cuban community incorporating the Sugar Kings legacy.

I think the Padres got it right - they definitely connected with and celebrated their communities and cultures.

Hope they go beyond Fleur de lis and arch.

Would be nice if they went blues/jazz route. Somehow...

I like the idea of the Padres unis and the colors are actually fine, but something about it doesn't work for me. I think it might just be the split coloring on the letters more than anything.

I like the Padre unis up there. I think the coloring was done intentionally to match their theme of two cultures combined.

Cardinals connect uniforms could go a lot of ways but I don't see them being quite so ambitious.

I like the Angels CC unis more than their primary ones.
