Something seems off when seeing Killebrew, a Minnesota Twin icon of the 1960s in the garb that the Twins would wear during the late 1970s and into the 1980s.

The home uniforms the Cubs wore when Fergie returned for the 1982 through 1983 seasons were pretty much the same style as it was Jenkins' time from 1966-1973 (pullover with a solid blue trim, but the basic look was the same), but seeing Jenkins in those road softball uni blues is a bit off putting.

As great as it must have been for Met fans to see The Franchise back on the Shea Stadium mound as a Met since his 5 and change year exile in Cincinnati. It does seem odd to picture him in that racing stripe era jersey of the mid-1980s-early 1990s Mets.

Just be glad I didn't use a card of Seaver in the blue Spring Training/alternative road softball pullover jerseys the Mets wore in 1983. Or one that features Seaver's attempt at a comeback in 1987, clad in a Met road jersey with "New York" in script, in a simulated game in the Mets' Spring Training facility (pretty sure there is one or two cards with that image floating around)!

To be fair, Knuksie started his illustrious Brave career in this uniform style in 1964. But by 1968 the Braves were shedding what they brought over from Milwaukee in 1966. So for most of his time in Atlanta, the Braves would be clad in various different uniform styles, mostly trying to make blue their dominate color. That is until his final game ever return to the Braves in 1987.

Oddly enough, Baines did help close the door on the previous error...I mean era in White Sox uniform style history, with the final three seasons of the collared softball unis.

Member of the Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2019, Harold Baines can be considered the mirror Frank Thomas for the White Sox, as he would wear the current day garb upon both of his brief returns to the White Sox in 1996-1997 and finally in 2000-2001. This after wearing the variations of the Sox' 1980s attempts to add red to their color scheme, which did include what Frank Thomas debuted in.

Not homegrown like Harold Baines, but another White Sox HOFer of the 1980s joined the team just as the white and navy blue style was on its way out.

While Baines left, and returned, Fisk managed to be with the team long enough to still be around when the softball styles with red were finally dropped. Fisk would play his final three years in pinstriped style!

When one thinks of The Big Hurt Frank Thomas, its probably him clad in the sleek monochrome, and pinstriped at home, uniforms the White Sox have had since 1991.

But since Thomas' debuted in 1990, he was first decked out in the last gasps of the Sox' attempts to make red a part of their color scheme. This style was in use from 1987-1990.

John Elway may have won his two Super Bowls in the uniform the Broncos still have to this day in 2018, but the changeover was made literally during the last two seasons of his 16-year career. The bulk of which with the orange crush style uniforms and the bronco charging out of D on the helmet logo.
