Pirates Rumored to Dump Ugly Mustard Uniforms for Fresh 70’s Throwbacks

Post Gazette The Pirates will change their 2016 uniform lineup — and fans might have gotten a sneak preview. A since-deleted tweet from a Twitter account that appears to be run by Pirates clubhouse manager Scott Bonnett included a picture of a long wall of hanging uniform tops. Included – white, black, grey, camouflage and yellow, which would represent a new top. The yellow jerseys had white and black arm bands, similar to those worn in the late 1970s.

  

Our eyeballs thank you Pirates. I love mustard on my hotdog, but absolutely despise it on my team on Sunday’s. 

  
Should have known right out the gate. When Cutch can’t make them look cool on release night it was doomed from the start. It’s a shame too because the jersey is a decent enough look if they just stuck with yellow over that putred mustard. 

All I know is that last time the Pirates won the World Series they were wearing the yellows. 

To summarize the offseason so far: 

They added a smokeshow wife with lucky panties to the stands… +1

They whiffed on a hall of fame announcer… -1

They dumped the ugly mustard unis +1

And added sexy yellows +1

So far they’re up 2. Has anyone checked this years promotional schedule? Spoiler alert there’s one AWESOME giveaway on August 11th. 

  

+1 Billion, game over.
