mlb style guide 2017!

[jimmy13]

Every year there are discussions about incorrect uniforms and style guide restrictions. The rockies with purple sleeves, this year the indians red sleeves and socks for their home and home alt uniforms. Well i contacted indians fan services asking if they could update their style guide so that the indians uniform would be correct in '17. Below is a copy of the email i received back from indians fan services. The styoe guide only pertains to the hats, jerseys and pants. Undershirts and socks are governed by the style guide. So hapefully now uniforms can be updated and corrected.



Good afternoon Colin,*

Thank you for your email. I assure you, we take every email and phone call seriously and try our best to assist with every fan request. The style guide you reference is sanctioned by MLB, and only effects the jersey, pants and hat. It does not reflect any change made of under dressings, including shirts and socks. I am not sure of the problem you reference in the video game, but will be happy to look into it further. Ultimately, there are a number of color combinations that are permitted by MLB and those are set to the discretion of the player at the time of the game.*

Thank you again,*
Craig
Fan Services

Known this for years, but anytime it's brought up everyone just runs to the "style guide" defense.

So they could have changed undershirts and socks all along but they misled us and said those things were bound by the style guide too? Interesting.

Or maybe they weren't aware? Misled? Haha. Yeah they are all sitting in a room just laughing and saying "Wait until they see that the Indians socks aren't red!" Give me a break. Considering this information now I am sure they can make the change.

What's next? Shoelaces not knotted correctly?

So can I, OP also posted in the Socks thread that Ramone started. We don't need a thread for this.
