Not sorry, f**k those uniforms. You get used to wearing what you're wearing, the dude wants to win games.
I gotta say, I'd be greatly pissed off if you ask me to go out there and compete in a uniform that feels different from what I'm used to.
Sure he didn't need to cut the thing up, but give me a break. This wasn't just color or logo finagling, this was going to be a completely different feel. For a position player, sure, you can kinda get away with it, but for a pitcher? Man there are so many things that can screw with a pitcher on that mound. Having to be concerned with the uniform you have to wear? Irresponsible on the part of the decision maker who said "go" on this idea.
I don't need no stinkin' throwbacks to enjoy a ballgame either.
