And speaking of new uniforms...

Yesterday the Red Sox unveiled a new "away" uniform and a new "alternate away" uniform and cap. I could have cut and pasted some pictures of each into this post, but you're big boys and girls and I'm sure you know how to use Google, so if you want to see them for yourselves, get to work.

I actually approve of the new away uniform- they got rid of the red piping (which I never liked) and used a lettering style that, while not exactly the same, is reminiscent of the one they used in the 1930s.

As for the new alternate away top and cap...nonsense. It is nothing but a shameless money grab on the part of the Sox. The new shirt and cap are not ugly, in fact, they would look great in a souvenir shop, but they do not belong on the players.

Then again, if these new uniforms generate enough revenue to bring home another World Series trophy, well...
