TDOWT…W!?: Hat
(The Department of What the… What!?: Sometimes something will strike The Heathernet as so ridiculously off that it needs to be instantly commented on. TDOWT…W!? chronicles these abuses of our minds.)
I caught wind of uniform changes coming to the Red Sox a couple days ago. Dangerous territory. The unveiling of the new fabrics happened today. A breakdown:
Not even sure if this is a change
No big surprise here. Although traditional I would have to say no one was really married to the circle logo any more. It's actually kind of neat that the hanging sox are so iconic that they can be pulled right out of all the other badging. It would be like the top hat catching on from this symbol:
Let's go... top hats?
It's interesting to me when teams still take a stab at making these elaborate circle baseball symbols as seen even in recent expansions like the Florida Marlins:
Keeping it classy for all those Marlins fans
So the Sox outgrew it's circle. I'm not shocked, yet.
The PHU and the PRU
I have to say. I'm a big fan. I was not Sox aware during the 80's but I really enjoy this throwback to a time with simpler uniforms. The Sox will be hanging on the sleeve for this uniform as well. That's great, of course, they might have to be there because I would expect the socks for this team to be blue to match the lettering. Maybe not, maybe there will be enough red accents on these new guys to still yank the crimson foot tubes knee high. (The way they ought to be.)
Okay. Let's dispense with the pleasantries, on to the TDOW...W!?
Here it comes...
What is THAT on the hat!?
What is it!?
TELL ME WHAT IT IS!
Ooooh, it's that Sox logo I was okay with just a second ago. Well, not when you mess with that hat!
Digital assisted pool would make us slightly better
During our vacation semester at Ithaca College one of the activities that would actually get Jordan and I out of the apartment was playing pool for free at the student center. We weren't that great but I think we looked pretty good beating each other. Jordan would often have games where he looked especially on. One particularly memorable night a shark-like character who grew bored with sharking himself on the next door table popped a challenge to the bearded one. He sort of had to accept. He held his own but I remember when the challenger finally let him go we snatched our IDs and fled from the game room like someone was chasing us. Never take us out of the comfort zone of beating each other.
Now if only we had this genius contraption. It's always nice to see college science applied to where the world truly needs it.
