Uniform wishlist for The Show 24

Re: Uniform wishlist for The Show 23

Gray is a pretty boring color, and Tampa/Seattle's color schemes definitely don't work well with gray anyway so not the worst thing in the world. It's nice that they dropped a dull uni instead of one of their cooler looking alternates.

Teams don't wear their true road uniforms all that often these days anyway. Back in 2016 I think the Cubs only wore the road grays once or twice all year. They rocked the alt blues most road games.

This made me curious, so I checked it out. Here's every team by how many times I counted in the regular season they wore their normal gray jerseys in 2022 (according to uniform lineup.com, which does have some mistakes; they were entirely missing 2 Giants games for one example):

t1. Mets, Giants, Tigers, Yankees - 81

5. Cardinals - 70

6. Athletics - 67

7. Padres - 59*

8. Marlins - 58

T9. Diamondbacks, Phillies, Reds - 55

12. Astros - 54

T13. Braves, Orioles - 53

15. Angels - 52

T16. Nationals, Royals - 51

T18. Rockies, Pirates - 47

20. Red Sox - 43

T21. Brewers, White Sox - 42

23. Rangers - 40

24. Cubs - 33

25. Guardians - 32

26. Twins - 31

T27. Dodgers - 30**, Rays - 30

29. Blue Jays - 29

30. Mariners - 25***

*The Padres don't have gray, but I counted the khaki jerseys, even though I believe that's technically an alternate and the Brown are their "road" jerseys. I feel like the khaki is more in the spirit of what we're talking about here.

**Technically, the "Los Angeles" jersey is their road, and the "Dodgers" gray is an Alternate. This last year, they exclusively wore "Los Angeles" in April/May, exclusively wore "Dodgers" from June-middle of September, then went back to "Los Angeles for their last road series. But you could reasonably have the Dodgers at 30, 51 (T16), or 81 (T1) on this list.

***Only twice in July and 0 times in August


So all in all, only 8 teams didn't wear a gray jersey for the majority of their road games in 2022.

The Royals are wearing powder blue pants on opening day with the powder blue tops. Hopefully SDS will add them in as KC said they will only wear them on opening day and a few select home games.

So excited to see the Negro League legends and uniforms make it into 23. Looks like SDS is adding some new uniforms this season. The main question is, will the classic Negro League uniforms be available from the start or are they only in a specific mode similar to what 2K did on "My Eras".

The Florida (Miami) Marlins will wear their 1993 uniforms with the Teal caps for Friday home games this season. Those uniforms are in The Show. Hopefully the 1993-2002 Teal tops get added to the Show.

I don't believe the Marlins ever wore teal jerseys in the regular season. They didn't start wearing an alternate until their black jerseys in 2003.

Re: Uniform wishlist for The Show 23

I've heard as part of the new 4+1 The Texas Rangers are possibly dropping the all baby blue uniforms.

That seems the most logical to me. I can't see them dropping the blue or red tops.

And, since we're on the Rangers. Could they please add the all red cap with the T?

Could just drop the all gray look and kept the Baby Blues while still keeping the blue and red tops.

The Marlins Teal tops are super popular and you are correct they were never worn in an official MLB game, only Spring Training games. Ironically enough some MLB games on the PS2 era listed it as a "Throwback" (All Star Baseball/MVP Baseball). In MLB 09 The Show it was listed as "Throwback Old" but could only be worn at home because of the dreaded "Slots".



The Marlins did have a Teal "Vest" they wore thru 1995. In 1996 it was replaced with a Black "Vest" and was worn in game 7 of the 1997 World Series.It was discontinued in 2006-07. In 1995 the road alternate Black cap was worn more at home and away (though the Teal Crown cap was worn for some away games and discontinued in mid 1996).


The Black alternate top was introduced in 2003 when the Marlins won the World Series. It was worn often for Away and some Home games. The Marlins wore that top for most of their 2003 Playoff games.

The Twins home and road batting helmet are correct in the Tech Test

Re: Uniform wishlist for The Show 23

So in Tech test only Home/Away uniforms are available?

This is most certainly the Mandela Effect, because I could have sworn I've seen them in a game at some point or another. Maybe it's because we wore teal jerseys one year when I was on the Marlins in Little League. But I swear I saw them on TV!

I think so, at least it doesn’t let you choose

Also interesting of note, for the DBacks, their default home uni is their white w/teal uni and their logo on the team select screen is their teal trimmed “A” logo.

That's the home white they are keeping. They dropped the red trim white alternate. Their 4+1 is the White Teal, Red Top, Black Top, All Gray, and CC.

They were never worn during a game. Only during Spring Training and batting practice. The big misconception was in the 2000's on PS2 baseball games (All Star Baseball/MLB 2k/MVP Baseball) they were listed as throwbacks but they're just BP jerseys and sadly in real life the Marlins never took advantage of them to use during the season. Some baseball cards from the 90's early 2000's have Marlins players in Teal Tops but those are from Spring Training games or during BP. Ironically enough if you played MLB 09 The Show the Teal tops were listed as a "Throwback Old" and could only be worn at home because of the infamous "slots".


Now if Jazz Chisholm likes the Throwback Teal top and lets the Marlins and SDS know he likes the Teal tops, hopefully the Marlins will wear them in real life and also SDS ads them as a "throwback".
