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.

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.

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.

Reposting from Jeff Passan's story at ESPN last night. Apparently Major League Baseball has heard the outcries and is going to be doing something. If you've been living under a rock, due to Nike's design changes, the Cardinals this season have been wearing the Birds on the Patch, mismatched gray colors on their road uniforms, … Continue reading MLB to Address Uniforms After Player Complaints
