The MLB Playoffs are finally here. October is certainly a magical time of year for sports fans - the leaves are turning, football is well under way and the most exciting and entertaining baseball fireworks are about to launch.
Typically, we recommend buying gear that will look cool around your friends and won't make you look like a tool to the opposite sex. Heck, that is one of the major reasons we started this blog in the first place. That said, many of the rules we have outlined for the baseball season do not apply during the playoffs.
Go ahead, wear some face paint, dye your hair, paint your chest. But if you're going to buy anything commemorating your teams playoff run in 2008 - we'd like you to think about the following.
If your team was lucky enough to win a wild card spot, we'd opt for the general playoff hoodie - rather than anything that says, "Wild Card" on it. The wild card gear sort of says, "Woo, my team came in second place," but it isn't the worst thing we've ever seen.
For the Cubbies, we like this gray hoodie.
If you're a Rays fan - congrats on your first postseason appearance. Go nuts. Forget the rules and celebrate. That said, we still hate any logo that makes us think of tuberculosis. We're fans of this t-shirt.
The Red Sox and Angels have some fun red colors that you can play with, going beyond the typical gray t-shirt or hoodie.
Quick tip: Much of the playoff gear made by Majestic looks high techie, but is actually cotton. Check to see if it is cotton or polyester (which won't shrink) and buy the right size accordingly.
