Cardinals opened the 2024 season yesterday, March 28, in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. It was a highly visible look at the team wearing the new cheap nike uniforms, and we got to see them in different lighting other than the Florida sunshine. I was able to grab some screenshots from the broadcast. Here's what … Continue reading Opening Day 2024: Here’s How It Looked

The lede at Uni-Watch this morning is about uniform games that were One and Done, meaning, the uniforms worn were only worn one time and never again. This happened August 28, 1999 for the Cardinals. For the only time in history (so far), the Cardinals wore a red jersey against the Atlanta Braves. https://cardinalsuniformsandlogos.com/special-occasion-uniforms/1999redjersey The … Continue reading One and Done Uniform game

Last week we made a post about two jerseys Jeff Scott showed me where the numbers on back were fully chain stitched. Looking at all the details, Jeff and I think these two jerseys were likely made in 1933. The Cardinals uniforms did not go through any noticeable changes in 1934 and 1935, so we … Continue reading 1933 Chain Stitched Numbers UPDATE

We've become familiar these days with teams putting on green caps, green shirts, green green, etc, for St. Patrick's day during Spring Training. This post is not about St. Paddy's day uniforms. This post is about way back when, from 1918 through 1927, when the Cardinals incorporated green into some of their uniforms. And it … Continue reading The Cardinals Wore Green

If you don't know what Dressed to the Nines is, it is a digital exhibit in the form of an online database hosted by the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, I highly recommend browsing through it, it has tons of informative … Continue reading Dressed To The Nines Database

I'm obsessively fascinated in trying to find uniforms we've never seen before, like the 1887 Browns wearing sky-blue colored uniforms in the 1887 World Series. We have descriptions from the newspaper that tell us exactly what they looked like, but we have no physical samples and no photography to show us what they really looked … Continue reading AI Creates 1887 Browns World Series Uniforms

I wasn't thrilled with the art that MLB posted for the Negro League Tribute game being played at Rickwood Field. There are some great photos of the ballpark's exterior, which I used as inspiration. You know, as a tribute to the actual site. Here's MLB's brand they've released Here's my brand, enjoy. Here's some source … Continue reading Rickwood Field redesign concept

This year the Cardinals are slated to play the Giants at historic Rickwood Field for a Negro League throwback game. There is no doubt this will be an awesome event at an awesome historic site. I always love when there are Negro League tributes incorporated in, mainly because the NNL at certain points in history … Continue reading Inauthentic Negro League Unis, as usual

Reposting the lead from Uni-Watch this morning.. Yes the Nike rollout has been disastrous, the worst is behind us, there's no way this could get worse. Wait! It gets worse! The gray shirts are a different color than the gray pants. Anyone else hearing circus music continually playing in their head? Photos below stolen from … Continue reading The Grays Don’t Match

Amongst the changes of the new 2024 uniforms the font for the player names is also changing. We've seen this in photos in the last few weeks, but now we're here to show them graphically to get the best comparison. In the image below, the letters on top are from 2023 and prior years. The … Continue reading 2023 v 2024 letter comparison
