    One of the greatest things about the Dodgers to me is that their uniforms have remained nearly unchanged for 70+ years. There have been some minor changes though.

    I was wondering if you like the road uniforms with "Dodgers" across the chest or "Los Angeles" more. Wanted to know if anyone wanted to bring back the old road uniforms from the '80s.

    And just a side note: The reason the Dodgers looked so bad in 05-06 without the name on the back is because the numbers were two small. A few other teams have no names on the back and it looks fine but when the Dodgers did it recently it looked bad. It's because if you have no names you have to go back to bigger, thicker numbers like below.

    i remember as a kid growing up i used to like how when you looked at a dodgers player straight on his uniform spelled out LA Dodgers
    the LA is on his hat and the Dodgers is on the chest

    i know the los angeles is aesthetically better though

    I like the LA on the road unis. TBH, I think I'm one of the few people that liked the no names on the jerseys. It was old school and I liked it.

    lol I put "two small" and I can't edit it.

    Anyways MZA, I wouldn't have minded the no name thing but look at the Red Sox and Giant numbers. Thicker and bigger. Koufax and Drysdale looked fine with no names because the way the numbers were designed back then. In 05/06 the numbers were too thin.

    imagine if the los angeles angels start rocking 'los angeles' in cursive across their chests too?
    that would not be cool

    It'd be straight up legit. Interlocking LA on the cap..."I love LA" when they "Light that baby up!"....

    I'm sure it will happen...
    then the plague of locusts.
    after that,
    the La Brea Tar Pits turn to blood
    then, a plague of cucarachas,
    followed by a drought of cannabis such as the world has never seen
    then the reelection of Obama.
    Isn't that what happened in the Bible
    in Exodus?
    And why no Alyssa Milano Bobble head/boobs?
    Tell me an Alyssa bobbleboob is not a wonderful thing...
    Is this the proper Ruven format?
    It was done years ago by e.e. cummings
    wasn't it?
    a
    leaf
    falls​
    on​

    i had a dream a few weeks ago about this
    it was a weird dream
    in this dream the o'malleys are forced to leave the dodgers name in brooklyn when they moved to LA
    so in this dream its the early 90's
    im at a los angeles angels game
    at blue heaven stadium in chavez ravine
    mike piazza was at the plate wearing his blue and white los angeles angels uniform
    his nickname was the archangel michael
    the uniform was virtual mirror of the dodgers uniform but with angels instead of dodgers
    but same font, colors, style, logo, etc...
    the angel motif is is taken advantage of but in a different way than anaheim has
    its more about the city itself
    but also about how angels are more than mere mortal men
    they are powerful demigods
    loved, feared, and respected as greater than the common man
    the home teams dugout is decked in out in dodger colors in the interior, basic whites, blues and darks
    the top deck that is visible to the fans has white clouds with a heavenly blue sky
    the visitors dugout is bland gray or white on the inside with a dark smoky clouds and hellish sky on the top deck
    i was sitting in the mount olympus section eating some kind of frozen treat called angel ice
    but i was jealous of the people around me eating some angel wings
    angel wings were basically a funnel cake with powdered sugar all over but made in the shape of a set of angel wings
    we had a great team
    the heart of our order were called the four horsemen
    it was beltre, piazza, karros, and mondesi
    they all had that 4 horsemen metallica song as their walk to the plate music
    nevermind that they never actually all played together, hmmm
    man would that have made for an awesome heart of the order though
    i was a kid in the dream but those guys are from the late 90's
    i dont know whats up with that
    hmm
    im guessing mike piazza never gets traded
    mondesi and karros continue to play well batting around piazza so they stick around
    and we let beltre stay one more year in the minors before we call him up and then stick him at 3B and never move him for the next 15 years
    he probably wins rookie of the year too, hence why the 4 hitters are all roy winners and a group
    fuck todd hollandsworth, that roy award belonged to adrian beltre
    this los angeles angels team in my dream... not that bad

    no no no

    first the beast rises and lends its power to what is then known worldwide as the image of the beast
    after that the beast tries to rape the scarlet bride
    but the bridegroom sweeps in on his horse to the rescue and kills the beast
    he has only killed the beasts image though
    the bridegroom must still do battle with the beast itself


    ;)

    Los Angeles for me. I like the difference and I like the darker color. It works well when we play teams with more white in their home uniforms.

    I like Los Angeles better, but the one Piazza is wearing is still awesome to me
    I love the thick sleeve piping

    I wouldn't be opposed to alternates in the 80s style
