Yes.

Nice unis, much better than the vests and pinstripes. I don't like the black billed cap, however.

Does anybody know where I can buy a new Reds home uni?

Thanks Kitty!

When do you think they'll come out with the new unis with names(Dunn?) on them?

They had the "replica" new unis on sale at RedsFest -- new design and front work, but the same solid-red block lettering and numbering on the back that the old one-piece replica uniforms (vest + black sleeves) used last year.

I imagine that they haven't gone into production yet, otherwise I'd have expected them to be on sale there. You'd like to think they'd have them ready for Christmas.

Blandness wins out over style.

I actually think they're way stylish. Of all current MLB uniforms, they remind me the most (and only) of the Red Sox, and I have always liked the Red Sox uniforms.

Something about looking at a bunch of men on a ballfield wearing nothing but white with a bit of standout trim. No stripes, no excessive color, no different-colored sleeves...it's incredibly simplistic; it puts the focus on the game. And tall men (and baseball players tend to be tall) look stunning in all white.

IMO Simplicity is the enhance of style... once folks thought the Astros rainbow uniforms were stylized.. I always thought they were crap.

If style is some of the uniforms these other teams have come out with, I'm all for blandness. I don't want the uniforms to distract people from watching the team play. And I couldn't care less if they wore shorts and T shirts on the field as long as they won.

The rainbow jerseys aren't really an apt comparison to the last batch of Reds uniforms.

Simplicity is nice, but there's also something to be said for originality. The pinstripe vests were both simple and original. These new unis have nothing special about them.

The pinstripe vests were both simple and original.

Original enough that the Jays, Rays and D backs all sported them, I found the vests tired myself. As well as the pinstripes, which will always belong to NY and the Giants & Yankees in my eyes.

I love plain white uniforms, like the Tigers have.

White Sox? Their pinstripes are not completely traditional, admittedly, but they look fabulous and classic in them. I'm a huge fan of the White Sox's current uniforms.

Yeah the Sox are nice, they were the ones to bring black back to the fold. better then their red and white from the 70's

How about these?

All I see is the tri (dual)-color socks. Love them. Anthony Reyes is a god among pitchers.
