    I hate that hump above your forehead in new hats. That's why I prefer the washed out, more comfortable hats. Flat bills suck, too.

    BUMP

    MLB Shop has a sale that ends today online. $20 off of Replica jerseys, and $40 off of Authentics.

    For a replica jersey, it brings the price from $79.99 to $59.99. After you find the jersey you want, go to Groupon and purchase this coupon for $20: $20 for $40 Worth of Official MLB Club Merchandise. It gives you a promo code that takes $40 off once you have your jersey in your shopping cart. Apply the coupon code, which will bring the jersey down from $59.99 to $19.99 plus ~$4 shipping.

    TL;DR: Find jersey, add to shopping cart, buy groupon, apply code, checkout. You just bought an $80 jersey for ~$44.

    Props to Dave2000 for telling me about this deal.

    Smart move...one new jerseys, two bringing back the orange and navy blue.

    The team is going to suck, but the jerseys won't.

    Saw them for the first time at a store (kiosk at galleria). Shocked how much I like them... want to get Sunday jersey and a Road jersey. I think the orange is over the top but at least they are trying (and honestly, all of the colored jerseys other than the road grays look softballish), but as a shirt to wear the Sunday actually looks cool.

    Every time I look at these unis again I love them more and more. Crane hit a home run with these uniforms as far as I'm concerned. The only questionable one to me is the rainbow underarmed one.

    Agreed. This has made the move to the AL and little easier to handle.

    It is a batting practice jersey. I think it looks great and gives a nod to the rainbow jerseys.

    if you say so. i'd trade staying in the NL for watching them play in rockets pajama-era-esque unis the rest of my lifetime.

    I would too. But if it's gotta happen, at least their unis are awesome.

    These unis are great. Definitely going to get me a cap and a jersey. Team will suck but they will look great.

    I'm getting me an Orange one, personalized.

    Any word on the renovations, and new look inside MMP will be finished?

    I love the orange. I'm also a SHSU alum and Dynamo fan. Orange and blue together is my favorite uni combination.

    are you talking about just paint along the concourse or are they altering some field dimensions too?
