Not that a number of us don’t want it.

Personally, I’d rather see it done after the team is no longer an embarrassment. If the O’s want to hearken back to the glory days, I think the best way is to field a team that played like them. Then they’ll have earned the right to wear something those players wore. Ditto for the cartoon bird.

In the meanwhile, the only thing this current crop of losers have the right to wear is the Angelos ornithologically correct loser bird.

The Baltimore Orioles will receive my first ever order for an authentic jersey as soon as they are available for purchase.

I’ve never had a child, but perhaps I know a little bit of what a father knows…

/wipes a tear away

I always had a hard time justifying spending $100-$300 on a uni, but I love this place, and if the design is worth half a damn, I’m onboard. Can I get a “Honeybear” 21?

But it is to a lot of others, and it’s a pretty easy fix to build good will with the fans. I’m glad it finally happened.

this is birdland…

I’m really excited about this, if for no other reason then this is a sign that the warehouse is listening.

Being born in Baltimore and having seen the Colts leave town when I had just turned 8, I was (am) a little sensitive to being treated like a second class city. DC prevented a football team during a good portion of my childhood (I suppose we did the same with their baseball team, but fuck ‘em all the same). DC hasn’t suffered the hard times that we have and we finally get a local owner (well sorta) and he refuses to put the name of the city on the away jerseys, knowing how this is a thorn in the side of many. Everything this team did for years and years seemed to eradicate the word “baltimore” at every possible turn. I mean, next time you are in the stadium, count how many times you see the word ‘baltimore’. It’s crazy.

and fwiw, it was posted in a game thread!

I just remembered something – last year when this was being discussed, the word was that the Orioles were going to make uniform changes, plural.

I wonder what else is changing besides the road moniker?

Bird on hat? Removal of “O’s” from alternate cap? (please!)

I have an Orioles cap that has only the head of the ornithologically correct bird. The cap is called “The Closer” or something ridiculous like that. Incredibly comfortable. I get compliments on it whenever I wear it – it’s really sharp looking. Anyway, I’ve always wondered where the design came from & if they’d move to that hat as the primary…

Can’t buy the hat anymore, though, so probably not.

Has anyone else seen the stylized gothic “B” hats for sale in the Stadium Store at OPCY?
They sold so many of them last year that they had to re-order from a different manufacturer. The tag claims that the Orioles wore the hat in ‘58 – which they didn’t – but it’s extremely popular. That could be another possibility…

Ramblin’ thoughts…
