Ever wonder how they choose which uniforms to wear?

Have you ever pondered how baseball teams pick which uniform combination to wear?  The Minneapolis Star Tribune gives us a look inside the Minnesota Twins clubhouse, showing how the starting pitcher selects the uniform combination for the game.  

Check it out here.  

Other teams in the majors have similar methods for picking the uniform for the day.  For the Chicago Cubs, Ryan Dempster tends to wear the home pinstripes or the gray away unis, and Carlos Zambrano chooses the blue alternate tops whether he is pitching home or away.  

Buffalo Bills Throwbacks

The Buffalo Bills are wearing their throwback uniforms today, which we think are pretty sick. The Bills wore some pretty blah uniforms in the 1990s, so we're happy they went a little further back in the archives for these bad boys.  This Mitchell & Ness throwback hat  compliments the jersey perfectly.  

In a pinch you could also rock the Reebok version of the lid, but I think it is a little too flashy to go with a jersey that is supposed to look retro.  

NHL Third Jerseys - Guest Reviewer!

My sister and I are native Minnesotans, which makes us qualified to comment on all things hockey.  I decided to ask her for some comments on these new third jerseys for a few select NHL teams.

Ottawa Senators - The new Senators logo has really grown on me. I have a beer cozy with the new logo that reminds me of Canada - and beer.

Well Dressed Sister - "Nice masculine colors.  Not so much for the ladies." 

Buffalo Sabers - I really like this old school look.  Buffalo has lucked out with this third jersey and the new Bills logo.  

Well Dressed Sister - "The logo is fantastic.  The horizontal lines aren't exactly slimming." 

Pittsburgh Penguins 

Well Dressed Sister - "Those are far more feminine colors.  Might not work so well for the men at the game.  Penguins are cute though." 

Well Dressed Sports Guy - Funny you should mention that, Sis.  Elizabeth Banks has a scene in Zack and Miri Make a Porno where she is wearing this sweater as a night shirt.  It is pretty friggin hot in case you were wondering.

Well Dressed Sister - "Whatever." 

Boston Bruins - I'm not a huge fan of the Bruins regular jerseys, so I like the third jersey.  That said, they are a bit too reminiscent of a bumble bee for my taste.

Well Dressed Sister - "I second that opinion.  The bee that is.  These jerseys must make the entire team look like a swarm of angry bees.  Which I suppose isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Thanks, Sis!  I'll let you know next time I need a third opinion.

Well Dressed Sister: "No problem.  Just to warn you I have stronger opinions about baseball uniforms."
