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.

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

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

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.

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.

Nick was sporting a thick, luxurious one.

I have a post on my blog with my extended thoughts and a little Baltimore themed music included.
