• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

In this case, IMO I think it's way overdue. But I do understand fans not liking change. Baseball fans are very traditional so it can be difficult for teams to change their names, colors, and uniforms without someone getting offended. I remember in the 70's the Atalanta Braves changed their uniforms and fans where irate. So the went back to the original outdated, but loved design.


I still think this is one of the best designs for a uniform.

I understand the change of the logo, I don't agree with it however. It's really a difficult issue when you come right down to it, I do think that the market should drive these changes and I don't think this is the case here. The team is bowing to external pressure in this change. It's a sad day for me since I am a season ticket holder and have loved the team since I was old enough to walk. Nothing will change for me Chris.
 
This is NOT surprising. I recently heard that the Washington Redskins will be changing their team name.

It turns out that the Native Americans resent being linked to Washington! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I am sure as a long time Indians fan you would not like this. I am a White Sox fan. The Sox have a tendency to change their uniforms often and people don't mind. I guess its all about the local culture. BTW, I love the current design, particularly the black jerseys. They use it in their promos, the "Men in Black".

Now, can you imagine if the Yankees changed their name, logo or uniforms? There would be an outright riot in the streets.
 
:D Yup! :thumbup:

I had a Great-Grandma Rose that was born in Virginia. She NEVER said the word "Yankee", without preceding it with "Damn"! nojoke

I know you meant that as a joke but it isn't true. The Redskins continue fighting political correctness to retain their name.

BTW, like many others on this forum I am a native American (born here) and deeply resent being associated with WashDC in every respect.
