Adam Jones models the new 2009 home jersey. Everything else will be shown off later today, and pretty much as soon as it has been, you'll be able to buy new gear at the Orioles online store.
MASN will stream the unveiling of all the stuff here.

The Maryland flag patch is cool
Looks pretty much the same, though.
the line around the sleeve is now orange
Used to be black!

At least the Orioles are consistent
Make some minor tweaks, announce the changes to much fanfare, and let the money come rolling in.
What works for the on-the-field product works for the off-the-field product.
well
When you just drew under two million to Camden Yards for the first time ever and are consistently, at this point, in 10th or 11th place in the AL in attendance, you do have to do something. The baseball thing isn’t working out, so how about fashion. ORANGE STRIPES. PATCHES. BALTIMORE.

That looks pretty good!
Can’t really tell, but the script looks updated and improved. The “L” is much more sideways than I remember off the top of my head. The orange armband is much better than the black trim, that’s probably the biggest change to our home jerseys.
I can’t really opine on the patch yet…it’s too new, but I mean it’s better than the Orioles 50th Anniversary and all of the other commemorative patches I’ve seen.
The hat is a throwback to the early 90s, which you can see on the front page in that old Sports Illustrated cover.
THe hat got leaked a few days ago on NewEra’s website. They took it down, but some folks from Orioles Hangout saved as

Gives a lot more details. Stupid work is getting in the way of me being able to stop by the event.

For anyone who wants it
The rally will be streamed live on MASNsports.com. I might try to watch it if my stupid meeting doesn’t run over.

I would give anything
To see Jones and Markakis do a runway walk. Perhaps a walkoff, in the style of Zoolander.
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."
The new bird...
is a little better than the old one, a little more streamlined and stylized, and they dropped the pointless yellow highlights. But in terms of branding it still says “Audubon” to me more than it says “Baseball.” Also, the bird’s black head is (still) not sufficiently distinguishable from the black cap—from a distance it kind of gets lost.
The cartoon bird works much better. There is a reason you see more people wearing throwback caps than the new ones, and it’s not just because the team hasn’t been worth a damn in so long.
However, bringing “Baltimore” back to the road jerseys is most welcome (and long overdue) development.

If you say so
Doesn’t do a thing for me.
Duck Around - a progressive blob about the Eastern Shore of Maryland. And getting off my lawn.
Just admit it
you think he’s a sexy man
"This world extends way beyond this little field of dreams we're dancing in and I want to see that world"
I'm hopelessly
heterosexual. Sorry, doesn’t do a thing for me.

I'm heterosexual as fuck
but that is a sexy motherfucker right there.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
-Jack Handey
agreed.
I’m as straight as they come, but I’d at least consider making out with him.
If he signs an extension…well, you probably don’t wanna know how far I’d go if Nick signs long term.

I'll take your word for it
Maybe I’m just not into the 5 o’clock shadow types…

I think I can appreciate another man's sexiness
Not in a “I want to fuck that guy” sort of way, but in a “I wouldn’t mind looking like that guy” sort of way.
Even using that criteria
I just don’t see it.

OK, but if you HAD to pick a dude to do...
Nick would have to at least be one the finalists for that, right?

Yeah, but only because he felt sorry for him.
And only if it means he gets to bang the Olson twins afterwards.

Point a gun to my head
and say I have to pick a dude, and Nick is definitely on the short list.

and sure, it's taken me two giant glasses of scotch
to be able to admit that. but I’m as straight as they come, married, totally manly, but I’m just saying. gun to the head.

Scotch on a thursday night
I know it ruins lives and marriages and whatever, but there is something inherently manly and cool about alcoholism. Kind of like how smoking looks really cool in the movies. Like when Ron White is up on stage with a glass of scotch in one hand and a cigar in the other, he looks like a man.
well, in my defense
I’d just come off 13 hours of being at school for parent conferences, and have friday off. scotch was justified.

Yeah
Nick is on the short list. No way he beats out Jose Theodore for the win, though. Too bad Jose has been sucking at the hockeys.

Now that that "B" exists
I’m starting to think it’s only a matter of time, a couple seasons, before we bring in a “B” hat for our home jerseys.

modeling the away uniform but he won’t be covering his fine head of hair with a hat like the rest of them.
