They are simply TERRIBLE. I am so mad right now.


This will be their primary road jersey.

Here is the new alternate jersey with new hat.

I'm okay with the jerseys I guess...

I do not like the red-heavy primary logo.

This outlines the changes well... The new primary looks cartoonish. Simple is always better with these things... Celtics with the shamrock still have the Boston market cornered, but the Red Sox simple B is great. They better not reduce its visibility, because the new all red one looks pretty bad to me.

there not terrible, they look like the SUPER old school ones that ruth, speaker, wood, and hooper wore back in the 1910's. although its a revamped look to the socks obviously.

I don't really care what they do, as long as they don't touch the primary cap and primary home jersey.

We all know that this is what teams have to do from time to time for business reasons (merchandise sales). That's why even our sacred Sox aren't immune to change. In the end, tradition will always give way to money.

You do have to give the ownership some leeway for things like this. I mean, they could have easily abandoned Fenway and built a huge new stadium that seated 55,000 comfortably. They know that their fans appreaciate traditon, and so do they.

That hat should never see the field.

Looks like they're wearing batting jerseys.

I always liked the plain gray road uni's they wore in the 80's.  These roadies seem to be along that line.  Not crazy about the hat or the 3rd uni.
Yup

I kind of like them.
 Not that I pay that much attention- it's all just a gimmick to sell more merchandise, but everyone knows that, so it's not like it's a sinister plot to fleece the sheeple.
But the hat without the B, no way.

I also have fond memories of the plain gray jerseys from the 80's - with the exception of one particular memory that's very much associated in my mind with those jerseys.

guess I'm in the minority, but I think they look very nice

and as long as the primary home unis are the same, I don't see why it matters
