These are ***MLB Licensed*** apparel. Don’t let them get away with playing dumb and saying “we didn’t know”. They knew damn well what they were doing.
Why do you think so many sports teams have altered their logos and color designs to emphasize black and red? They are trying to sell to all the drug thugs out there and, as long as they can get a cut of the blood money, they don’t really care that their uniforms look like crap.
Do you realized that fully half the teams in the National League now market a uniform with some combination of red and black or red and dark blue? Coincidence? I don’t think so.
And these people have the nerve to sermonize about Barry Bonds and Michael Vick. Not that I’m defending either of them but the various sports leagues are waist deep in their own complicity that they come off as hypocrites when they moralize about the sins of others.
OMG, that's unbelievable. MLB is going to sit there and play stoopid about something like this? Just what made them choose styles and designs like that if not to appeal to dumbass white suburban kids who want to wear this crap to go along with the "fight the power" music while they're cruising around in daddy's Escalade? (I'm sorry, I just wanna smack those kids, I really do... thinking they identify with a poor black kid growing up in a war zone... but that's another rant.)
But then there's this - what if aforementioned white suburban dumbass finds himself lost on his way home from a ballgame with the wrong colors on and gets his dumb ass shot for it? Do mom and dad get to sue Major League Baseball?
