WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

On Monday, the Detroit Tigers released their new City Connect uniforms. They will be worn during Friday home games, approximately 12 times this year.
City Connect is a brand name of Nike. It is part of a contract Nike signed with MLB to produce “alternate uniforms.” A veiled attempt to try to attract more fans, especially the younger ones. Oh, and to create another revenue stream. Only the Yankees and Athletics have opted out from having these new uniforms.
It will be the first time the Tigers will not be wearing white at home.

These new togs are meant to be fun. To mix it up a little.
The Tigers’ new uniform is a mix of black and dark blue and showing no logos other than the Nike swoosh. The cap says “Detroit” and the jersey shows “Motor City.” The pattern on the jerseys is meant to imitate tire tracks. (Insert your Saturday morning cartoon memories here.)

What fans will not see is the “tiger eyes” picture under the bill of the cap and the numbers/codes showing the area code, year the team was founded and the years of World Series championships. That is, unless you buy a replica.
For a full viewing the new uniform, check this out:

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers debuted their new City Connect uniforms last night.
One of the biggest differences is the hat. While still navy blue with white lettering, the Olde English D is nowhere to be found. Instead, “Detroit” in a more modern font can be seen.
See this tweet to look at it more closely. (Click on the link.)

What are the chances that you would wear this hat?
Is it a nice change from the old traditional hat that you may want to mix it up a bit? Would you keep both hats in your rotation?
Is change a good thing?
Or is it sacrilege to wear the new hat?

Will you be wearing the new Detroit Tigers cap?

1. The new hat will become my go-to cap for this year..

2. I'll wear both the old and new hats.

3. Only the Olde English D will touch my head.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers recently received their City Connect uniforms. They are supposed to wear them for each Friday night home game only.
The new togs have created some friction with fans. They are black and blue with a tire mark print all over. The jerseys say “Motor City” while the hats say “Detroit.”

The white home uniform tradition is gone (at least on Friday nights) and the Olde English D is missing.
However, the Tigers have started winning games while wearing the new uniforms. They are (through Sunday’s game) 4-1.
This past weekend, the team voted to wear them again on Saturday – and won again. They did the same for Sunday with another win. And for Tuesday’s game, they will once again don the City Connect uniforms.
Today’s poll is a tough one. It involves a deal with the Devil.

If you were promised that the Tigers would play above .500 for the rest of the season while wearing the City Connect uniforms every day – and forsaking the traditional one – would you agree to the deal?
It would mean that the Olde English D would remain in the clubhouse lockers for the rest of the year.

If promised that the Tigers would play above .500 this year, would you agree to them wearing the City Connect uniforms for every game?

1. Yes, sign me up for the City Connect uniforms!

2. No, there are some things that cannot be bought. Keep the Old English D.
