You titled the ticker for yesterday BTW
D’oh. Thanks, now fixed
Not sure I buy the thing about the Phillies not having enough time to set up two uniforms for a double header. I’ve definitely seen the Jays wear two different unis in the same day.
seems that more commonly these days, doubleheaders get played day-night (say, 1:00 and 7:00); the Phils/Nats games yesterday had first pitches at 4:07 and 7:24.
That makes sense, but from what I can tell, the Angels wore grey and then red during Ohtani’s epic doubleheader performance recently.
Maybe that one was easier to deal with because only the jerseys were different.

The Red Star kits are for Red Star FC from Paris, not Red Star Belgrade
Thanks, fixed
“The Washington Post has ranked all the (NFL) uniforms that are set to debut this season.”
Stopped reading what I saw who was at #2.
Graduated in 1979 from Defiance College…The NEW court looks great honoring basketball coaching legend Marv Hohenberger
Two sections for volleyball? Jeremy Brahm must be in heaven!
Hate to see Zombie Deadspin get any attention. Viva Defector.
I second this.
What’s Sean Payton’s problem with bucket hats?
The best thing about this year’s Pro Bowl was that some players wore them (complete with conference logos) on the field during the game. I’d wear that!
Baltimore almost always wears the O’s hat with the black softball tops.
