'Tis the offseason to be introducing new uniforms and the Red Sox organization is no Grinch. At an event on Thursday night, the Bostons unveiled their new road grays as well as a new "Hanging Sox" logo cap and fresh home and road alternate jerseys.
The new road unis, you'll notice, look a lot like the ones that Al Nipper and Calvin Schiraldi rocked in the mid-80s. The lettering is blue instead of the more recent red and the logo on the sleeve really brings it all together. It's strange to think that something worn in the '80s now qualifies as a "classic" look, but it's the truth.
Personally, I like 'em, though Red Sox Monster weighs in with a pertinent question:
"Why would the team want to turn in the jerseys it wore while clinching two world championships to bring back one similar to the one worn to choke away the 1986 World Series? Beats me, chief."
Center Field has a slew of pics from the unveiling, the Joy of Sox says it doesn't want to see the new hats on the field, even though they'll be used "sparingly" and Sox & Dawgs says what I've always said about alternate jerseys — they all look like batting practice shirts.
Be sure to check out the shots of the new alternates below and then tell us what you think. Are you feeling Boston's latest wardrobe update? Yay or nay?

Personally, I like the new look. It's clean and fresh but has a hint of the old days so we don't forget that this is one of the oldest franchises in the game.
Bottom Line: It was ballsy to mess with the "B" but from a marketing standpoint it makes perfect sense - 4 different jerseys = 4 times the cash from merchandise sales... and you know there will be plenty of these new look jerseys under the X-mas trees this year.
