MLB groups have been making an attempt out uniforms throughout the league labeled because the “Metropolis Join” assortment. Some are cool, some are lame and a few are… the Cincinnati Reds.

Full disclosure: I’m a Reds fan. It is a painful existence, to make sure (Cincinnati hasn’t received a playoff collection since 1995 once I was 6 years outdated). However I am unsure that I’ve seen something as disgusting on the sphere because the uniforms the Reds wore on Saturday evening towards the Detroit Tigers.

Previous to the sport, the Reds welcomed the workforce’s 2026 Reds Corridor of Fame Class, together with Brandon Phillips, Lou Piniella, Aaron Harang and Reggie Sanders. After which they subjected these workforce legends to the worst uniforms in franchise historical past. A historical past that additionally consists of many sleeveless jerseys, by the way in which.

For the squeamish amongst us, I would encourage you now to both protect your eyes or go learn one other story (ideally not that one, retention time is necessary for me).

Severely, what the heck are these uniforms? The all-red is atrocious. The emblem is large and ugly. And, you won’t be capable of inform, however there are additionally faint pinstripes on the jersey, the pants and the helmet. Why? It is as if the designer’s route was “Hey, are you able to make the ugliest uniforms in Reds historical past?”

And simply to be clear, that is the precise plan: an all-red Metropolis Join 2.0 set with faint pinstripes and a darker pink sleeve. It isn’t a one-off mistake.

For the report, this is what the Reds official website says about the uniforms:

“A perennial favourite of each Reds followers and gamers alike, pinstripes have been featured on varied Reds uniforms all through historical past. Metropolis Join 2.0 brings again this traditional component to a brand new era, however in a modernized tone-on-tone type. The sleeve is a darker shade of pink and the jersey’s pinstripes [are] deliberately minimize off on the shoulder, a nod to the favored vest-style uniforms final worn twenty years in the past.”

Why on this planet are they reminding folks concerning the “vest-style” uniforms? These have been horrible too!

With all of the discussions concerning the New York Yankees seeking to lastly add an alternate uniform, I believe it is time the Reds went the other way. Cincinnati is the oldest franchise in MLB historical past. They need to have easy, traditional uniforms. I get it, I sound like a mid-30-year-old trapped within the thoughts of an 80-year-old. Nice.
