MexSoxFan#1 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Ok so here is the deal...I just started playing in a baseball league here in San Diego, bunch of cool guys and we have a blast after the game drinking some cold ones. Just recently the guy who is gonna put up the uniforms decided we should use Cubs uniforms for our league play, he's not even a Cubs fan (at least that's what he says). Would you guys continue playing with this team even if you have to don those awful uniforms or would you quit? Getting your money back and joining another team with less offensive unis is not an option, too late for that and 75 bucks would go down the drain.I have tried talking to this guy about getting another uni to no avail, so I'm in a bind...My brother also plays on this team and he is a die hard Sox fan and he says we should quit, I'm tilting toward his way of thinking. Your thoughts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thoughts... Just play baseball and enjoy the game, once you let things like that get in the way of the game are you truly a baseball fan? Just heckle the guy for ordering them all year, so when your bullpen falters you blame them on the unis, but seriously, play the game if you really enjoy it.

Nunnigan Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Buy him a round and see if you can persuade him then, after all you said that he isnt a Cubs fan. If that doesnt work you're SOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 I suspect he is too embarrassed to admit he is a Cubs fan, lol...buying a bottle of champagne might do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Put the uniform on but creatively vandalize it in some way. For example, if you're terrible...put the name "Soriano" on it. If you're good, put the name "Brock" on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Definitely still play, but every time you strike out, or make an error, just yell at him "What did you expect, LOU.....I'M A CUB!!!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Play in the Cubs unis, then report the league to MLB for copyright infringement. Little League had to dump MLB team names/logos. http://sportsbybrooks.com/mlb-says-they-ev...eam-names-17937 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Just play, the uniforms shouldn't be that big of deal. Hell, you can always cross out the Cubs logo or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Wear a Sox hate, and with marker or something but "S" in front of the logo, and "R" in front of the U so it says "SCRUBS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see little league teams around here all the time with MLB teams logos and stuff.. That article looks like its referring to traveling teams or something that were using their city name and then the MLB logos and names as well for them..

Dick Allen Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 When I played Little League many years ago I had to play for the Cubs. The uniforms weren't so bad. It was a generic C on white uniforms with Cubs in white on the Blue C on the left chest. What sucked was the authentic Cubs hat I had to wear. It was traumatizing. I would only wear it when I had to. I would hold it in my hand riding my bike to the games. I would wear it in the field, but immediately remove it after the 3rd out of an inning. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I was so sickened having to wear this hat at all, I talked my way into catching so I could just wear a helmet. I'm probably the only guy who talked his way from SS to C just because of a hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
