If this is a redesign...

Re: MLB Off-Topic

The only new uniform from them i'd accept is this:



Only the homes and as a 3rd uniform.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Y'see I disagree here with some of y'alls thinking.

I think that Murray should go for MLB if he's offered $15MM. The injury risk, expectations, etc...not nearly as high as the NFL would be in my mind. If I had the skill set he does, baseball is SUBSTANTIALLY safer and has a higher potential of total $$ earned.

That said...it truly is according to his desire and where he wants to play. If he's playing baseball just to get $$, that will show - vice versa if he's playing football just for the $$.

Yeah I can agree with that. $15M is a pretty significant sum and is at least in the same ballpark as what he could get on his rookie contract.

The risks is baseball aren't as bad, but there are still risks. Football has gotten exponentially safer for QBs, but he is really small.

Baseball is such a crapshoot for success, and I think he's too small to have a long NFL career as a QB. If it was me, I'd go to the NFL, play out my rookie contract or as much of it as I can. If it works, great, if not I go back and try baseball again like so many others have (though not with much success).

Don't think it's a redesign. I would assume it's either an alternate or throwback of some sort.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

It'll probably be ugly.

Just go back to the Away Grays. Home whites. Away grays. Red alternates. Cream alternates.

No redesign. Hopefully not, anyway.

Russell Wilson seems to be doing fine, and he's the exact same size as Kyler Murray (but 10 pounds heavier).

Re: MLB Off-Topic

The Braves official announcement says “refreshed uniforms” which sounds like more than just a new alternate.

Chop Fest is the 19th, so we’ll find out then.

I don't like the sound of this.

Why change what's good?

"refreshed uniforms" makes me think they just sprayed them with Febreeze to kill/eliminate the odor.

College measurables online are almost always exaggerated. I've read Kyler is more like 5'8 185. It'll be interesting to see what he measures at the combine.

For instance, Kyler is listed at 5'11 195 on the Oklahoma baseball website: http://www.soonersports.com/ViewArti...CLID=210821982

We should have done this a few years ago then to get rid of those nasty Uggla and B.J. Upton odors.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Honestly, the Braves have one of the most iconic uniforms in the game. Why mess with a good thing? Like I said an alternate uniform using the '74 home template would be enough change and one i'd be okay with


Hopefully this "refresh" doesn't mean the stupid "A with tomahawk" logo is all over the place. I detest that logo.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Kyler is entering the NFL Draft.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I think the injury risk in football is severe, quarterback or not.

But if you can get enough guaranteed money, he would be starting from day one, be in the spotlight, and be marketable from the first moment he steps on a field. Even if he busts, he would have 3 years of Fame and guaranteed money.

In baseball, he will need to bus it for how many years? He needs to prove he's worth a promotion at several stops. He could bust and never see more than the $15 mm he signs for.

There's a reason he wants to be on the 40-man and paid that much. If he goes baseball and fails, he wants to make sure he has enough career left to go back to the NFL.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I think Kyler Murray has a much better shot at being impactful in the NFL. Dude's carrying skill set is being fast. You don't get as much mileage out of that in MLB as you do in football. Top prospects succeed at a much higher rate in football.
