Tough week for Bubblegum.  

Did the Halos wear "throwback" uni's this season? They should wear them a lot more, the ones that Wally, F. Lynn, Downing, and Pettis wore.

Nice kit, granted
But I seem to remember losing A LOT when we wore those.  

No to the old kits, they're jinxed - I like red.

I see red people

No Throwbacks
They have not worn the throwbacks since an interleague game against San Diego in 1998 (against Kevin Brown, decked out in yellow and brown) and a three game series ainst Oakland in 2002 (Miguel Tejada looked like a margarita in the garish gold with lime green trim).

They wore the awful "Turn Ahead the Clock" garments in 2000 - Mo Vaughn looked like a Star Trek alien reject.

Turn Ahead the Clock
Oh God I remember those! They were hideous. I remember they gave out silvery shiny hats on one of those games too. Bleech.

I'd love to see throwbacks!
Especially those dark blue batting helmets with the halo on them.

Before every game, all Halo fans are entertained with a reminder of the great players and moments in Angels history. There is a reason for this. It would be nice to show this kind of respect for those who came before, who were not so fortunate to be surrounded by a complete team, and/or skippered by a Mike Scioscia.

But do it during the regular season, for some weekend game where you can front it with an old-timer's game. (Although it would be kind of cool to break them out for a WS game!)

And don't overdo it. Once a season is enough.

That would be SWEEET
He needs a new pullover too.. His pullover is like almost Orange.

I really dug the home old unis with the state and halo. The

Bring back the pullovers once a year
I second stirrups suggestion that they have an old-timers game afterward.
It is way overdue Arte. #5 needs to be retired by the Angels.
