Photos: Tigers, Cubs Turn Clock Back 70 Years
The Chicago Cubs took part in yet another throwback uniform game last night, their 5th of the season and 15th in the last year-and-a-half. This time they went back to 1945 to honour the 70th anniversary of the World Series they lost to the Detroit Tigers. Naturally, (as you can see from the
Cubs and White Sox to Wear Banks, Minoso Uniforms
The Cubs and White Sox will both pay heavy respect to two of their fallen legends this weekend at Wrigley Field and again in August across Chicago. For the finale of their series this weekend, the Cubs and White Sox will don the uniforms made famous by Ernie Banks and Minnie Minoso,
Three Years Later Cubs Still Wearing Old NL Logo
It’s supposed to be National Jersey Day, right? Well, let’s get real picky about a jersey. So, d’you remember when the Houston Astros jumped to the American League? Yeah, I know, most of us are *still* trying to get used it (hey old guys, aren’t those Brewers/Astros Interleague games a real trip?).
Once again, Cubs player wears wrong road jersey to the game
Last year, Junior Lake was the unfortunate soul who got caught out there on the field wearing the wrong road jersey. Granted, this happened after an absolute marathon of a game, so maybe we should’ve given him a bit of slack. It’s already hard enough being a professional athlete; They
Bigfoot is Real: The Story Behind the Eugene Emeralds

Tennessee Smokies Reveal New Cubs-Inspired Logo Set
After giving us a shadowy sneak peek last week (which resulted in Chris giving it an extremely crude guess), the Tennessee Smokies of the AA Southern League have finally unveiled their new logo set, and it’s definitely easy on the eyes. After 7 years of being affiliated with the Cubs,
Tampa Bay Rays To Wear Road Fauxbacks Sunday
The Tampa Bay Rays unveiled their new “fauxback” road uniforms, which they will wear for 1980’s Turn Back the Clock day at Wrigley Field in Chicago this Sunday. They will be worn as part of the year-long celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the historic stadium. What’s a “fauxback” you
Diamondbacks to Wear Kansas City Throwback Uniforms
It’s not often you’ll see a team willing to relocate themselves to take part in a Turn Back the Clock game. The Arizona Diamondbacks will do just that as they’ll be fantastic sports by wearing the uniforms of the 1914 Kansas City Packers of the long defunct Federal League. This
Oh Those Cubs! Chicago OF Wears Wrong Uniform
Let this be a lesson to all those teams who insist on designing multiple uniforms of the same colour. The Chicago Cubs, playing just the third game of their “we have two different grey jerseys!” era, have had their first jersey mix-up. Outfielder Junior Lake took the field for this
