Baseball Uniforms

Unread post by Boone Goon » Wed Feb 18, 2015 10:15 am

How is it our Baseball team has the worst uniforms in sports? This should be simple.
1) All GREY with Appalachian or Mountaineers across the chest.
2) All BLACK with Appalachian or Mountaineers across the chest.
3) All WHITE with Appalachian or Mountaineers across the chest.
4) Caps should be BLACK with the Block A or Yosef, nothing else.

Want to get cute, wear a gold belt or a gold hat...

For the love of all things App State, please get rid of these hideous knickers and the Saturday caps!

Reference. The gold ones are pretty hideous, but they're charmingly hideous.

I like the ones in the first photo, except I'm not a huge fan of the gray shirt/white pants combo. But otherwise, it's a nice, clean look.

I actually love the colors of the yellow and black ones. But the lettering on the jersey is awful, and the lettering on that hat makes me blink because it feels like my eyes are out of focus.

Love the black and gold ones, with the exception of the lettering as well. Should have just used the same "APP STATE" lettering that is on the grey jerseys.

"Turrible"

The Grey ones from Friday's game would have been fine with Grey knickers, but the white..."Come on man!"

I don't understand how our football team can have such good unis and our baseball team could have such bad ones. There's no reason to over-think the uniforms.

Wow, these are horrendous. Cartoonish. Reminds me somewhat of the P-burg Pirates in the We are Family days. The thing that comes to mind is that we make Oregon FB look GOOD! Never a good thing

Hideous! Looks like a really bad softball uniform. Whatever happened to the traditional look. Solid white or grey with trim, maybe even pin stripes with black and gold trim. Hats need to be sent to some 3rd world country.

Those hats are perfect for Goodwill store donations--today--before sundown. Geez, they're awful.

Do NOT like the APP on the hats at all. I like AppState on jersey but the typeset is terrible. In all, who cares so long as the team gets things together and wins....

I like the first photo fine. I hate the rest of the stuff. Why are we even wearing that font that has nothing to do with the rest of our branding? You would think the school would want to stick with a consistent brand. The hats are horrible, period.

The grey uni's aren't bad for an away look especially since grey is common for baseball. The Black and Gold uni's look like 70's throwbacks. I don't mind using App State, but I'm not a fan of the lower case lettering. I wish we would have used the same design on the B&G as we have on the Grey. Just replace all grey areas with black, and all the black (lettering) with gold.

I am not a fan of grey shirts with white pants, but I actually like this set. I think the grey stirrups makes them uniform look better with white pants. The black and gold are terrible and the cap is worse. Just stick to the hat with the block "A" as the grey uniform or the yosef on the black and gold.

I love the grey jersey with white pants, and the stirrups are legit.

The faux-backs are God-awful...agreed.

I know that I like to keep a traditional look. I also understand that the players like all these changes but that hat should be against the law. How about a black hat with the Block A that others have mentioned.

Why are these uniforms Rawlings as opposed to Nike? And the caps appear to be The Game brand?

We should all hope the socks are made by Twin-City Knitting in Conover.

Some of the ownership are App alums, and though the tube socks are imported from China, the sports socks such as what the baseball team would wear are mostly made in Catawba County with local employees from what I have been told.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.
