PrintSean McAdam from the Provi -- I mean, Boston Herald -- writes the Red Sox will unveil some uniform and logo changes on Thursday:
Purists, beware: Thursday, the Red Sox have plans to unveil "changes to the ballclub’s logos" and "select uniforms." Manny Delcarmen, Jim Rice, Jerry Remy and other club officials will be on hand for the announcement/unveiling.
It’s likely the team will reveal a new "alternate uniform," to either replace or supplement the red tops the team often wears for Sunday home games.
There’s no word yet on what the new logo will look like, or whether it will replace the existing one, which dates back decades.
This should be interesting. Not sure what to really expect. Could be a nice change of space.
[UPDATE, 2:17 A.M.] Potential hat?

Retinal damage though.

Please dump the red uni's
and just keep the traditional uniform.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Green unis
What is your opinion on those green jerseys? I kinda like them, but it wouldn’t break my heart to see them go.
They're pretty dumb too
But they only wear them in Spring Training and every time Red Auerbach dies.

Rec'd as well.
I wish I could have lit up a cigar in Coach’s honor, even if I don’t follow basketball as closely as baseball and football.

Tradition
Is vital to the Old Towne Team . . .if they want to change the alternates sure but PLEASE keep the logo do not remove the B!!
No way in hell do they get rid of the B.

You have to keep the traditional.
But I always love seeing random alternate jerseys come out every once in a while. It adds a little something different. Even the throw-back/retro jerseys are fun to watch on occasion – no matter how ugly they are. See San Diego Padres.
Man do I hate Longhorn fans, well except for the ones that actually went there.
no way the standard logo will change
they will probably come up with a secondary logo, that’s all
I think it is great to add some alternates without messing with the traditional unis/logos

Maybe they can wear those old, crappy Bruins 3rd jerseys

The Red Sox do not need "freshening up"
They’re hip, they’re now, and they’re good. It’s not like we’re wallowing in the bottom of the division in need of a spark.
Now presenting your Boston Red Sox. Red is the Devil’s work.

Stop claiming credit.
That’s plagiarism.

It's just marketing.
I’m sure they’ll wear them on Tuesday day games and give all the yahoos (er, people like us) an excuse to drop another $25 on the latest official hat.
But no way they drop the B. It’s an immediately identifiable trademark, they’d be retahded to do it. Sort of like tearing down Fenway, but on a different scale.
Manny ain't the only bad man.
Why Tuesday?

I would prefer them to go away alltogther.
1 home uni, 1 road. That’s all you need.

One uniform that you turn inside out
when you play away. Saves on laundry.

Big Mami doesn't like having to wash her hubby's uniform I guess.

Good Point
I should have realized earlier as a marketing major that there is no way a smart organization would lose their brand image by removing the most well known symbol of their company.
Hat's been confirmed by Paul Lukas of Uni Watch.
He said more changes coming.

That hat in the photo is crap
The green jerseys are crap, the red jerseys are crap. Home and road, white and grey…why change? Oh I know why…so they can sell more sh*t, that’s why. Football clubs in the U.K. do this all the time. Man U. must change their jersey every year and then people buy the new one….every year.
It sucks. I’ll give the Yankees this, they’ll never change those pinstripes, and thats bloody smart.
Exactly. Some British football clubs will have as many
as four new uniform variants in a season.
"no1 has time to read your long comments, are you writing a book?"
do we just no longer mention this?
Pink Hats? It would finally validate all those hats being seen around.
and yes I hate myself for bringing it up.
