This year the Whitey Herzog memorial patch being worn is not an embroidered/stitched patch, it's an iron piece of synthetic material. Each patch is supposed to be color coded to match the jersey fabric, but I've been noticing that the gray version on the road uniforms shows up a lot brighter and shinier than the … Continue reading Whitey Herzog Patch Gray Color
Cardinals played in Cincinnati earlier today, May 27, 2024, and wore a patch for Memorial Day. As has been tradition since 2021, the Cardinals along with every team around baseball wore a patch on the chest depicting a red poppy flower with the words Lest We Forget. The patch is identical to previous seasons, but … Continue reading Cardinals Wear Patch for Memorial Day
Last night the Cardinals officially wore a red jersey in a regular season game for the 2nd time in their 143 year history, as they debuted the City Connects on field for the first time. Scroll down for some pictures I snagged from the Cardinals instagram page. A couple notes too... Similar to other teams' … Continue reading Cardinals Debut City Connect Uniforms
For all of the the Cardinals legends who have passed away, their memorial patches on the uniform have been color coded to match the uniform fabric. We've seen four different patches for four different uniform fabrics, white, cream, gray, and blue. But now with the addition of the City Connect, the Cardinals will be color … Continue reading Whitey Herzog Memorial Patch Color Coded for City Connects
The Cardinals officially unveiled their City Connects today Monday May 20, 2024, even though some of the promo photos were leaked late this past Friday evening May 17, 2024. When I first saw these uniforms, I let out a huge sigh of relief. I really thought it would be a lot worse. I was even … Continue reading Cardinals Unveil City Connect
I noticed something about the new Nike template jerseys this weekend, looking especially at the alternate uniforms that have piping on the sleeves. Compared to uniforms pre-2024, the sleeves of all uniforms were consistent, and had extra braid sewn onto the jersey as piping. But now, these alternate uniforms have these little sleeve extensions, and … Continue reading Nike’s Fake Sleeve Piping
Yesterday May 18, 2024, after waiting for over a month and a half, the Cardinals finally wore their Saturday alternate uniforms. I got a few screenshots from early in the game and was prepared to just talk about those. But I got a text from a buddy with a picture of Masyn Winn's jersey hanging … Continue reading Cardinals Debut Home Alternates for 2024

Cardinals Hall of Famer, National Baseball Hall of Famer, World Series champion, master of the small ball, master of Whitey Ball, The White Rat, CARDINALS LEGEND, Whitey Herzog passed away 1 month ago on April 16. And last night the Cardinals began wearing a Whitey Herzog … Continue reading Whitey Herzog Memorial Patch
Last night the Cardinals wore their Armed Forces garb. We already knew this was going to be worn this weekend because the hats and socks have been available for purchase online for a while now, but last night was the official on field rollout. And presumably as teams have done in previous seasons, they'll be … Continue reading Armed Forces 2024
Recently I was perusing through SABR's website, and I downloaded some newsletters from the Pictorial History Committee. And while browsing I found the following three photographs that depict the Cardinals in the time period of 1903-1906. Three things about these photos are incredibly exciting to me. 1. I've never seen these photos before, and they … Continue reading 1903-1906 White Caps
Yesterday, May 12, was Mother's Day, and as is tradition since 2016, the team wore pink uniform elements. Here's what it looked like. The standard red hat was modified with a pink STL and a white outline. Really hard to see the differentiation between the white and pink considering how light the pink is. It … Continue reading 2024 Mother’s Day garb
A few weeks ago I saw an ebay listing for a framed Birds on the Bat. It looked authentic, it was chainstitched, and on the back it had a Liebe sticker of authenticity on it, so I bought it. Check it out! Click images to zoom. I thought these were hanging in the ground floor … Continue reading Framed Embroidered Birds on the Bat
