Nats versus O’s: A lot of badly dressed players | READER COMMENTARY
Tuesday night’s 3-0 Orioles loss to our neighbors, the Washington Nationals, with our guys coming off a road trip and a vision-impaired home plate umpire was ugly (“Orioles fall flat in 3-0 loss to Nationals as cold bats again can’t support Corbin Burnes: ‘We just got beat tonight,’” May 7).
And, as if to commemorate that, the game may go in baseball history as the one with the ugliest uniforms ever. Ever.
These are so-called “City Connect” (or is that “City Contempt?”) uniforms foisted on the league by its headquarters in New York. The result has the Orioles in all-black softball-style duds with toreador pants. Would Brooks Robinson have ever worn sleazy tight black toreador pants? And is the District of Columbia team jersey green and gray, green/gray or gray/green? What does “WSH” on the front mean?
D.C. has not seen such disreputable dressing since people in buffalo head hats and carrying the Confederate battle flag broke into the U.S. Capitol.
