LA Fans All About Brooklyn Dodgers

The 1940's "satin" uniforms
At this point the Dodgers have been from LA for 54 years, but that doesn't mean both cities can't still cling to that history like the last helicopter out of Saigon. The California team will wear throwback Brooklyn uniforms for six games this year, and are having the fans vote on which style the team should wear. Perhaps the team just wants to be allowed in city diners again.

The three options are the 1911 road jersey with pinstripes and "Brooklyn" written vertically down the button panel, the 1931 road uniform with a capital B on the front and the 1940 blue "satin" uniform with white script. The "satin" was used so you could see the players easier during the new night games. Fans will vote and the team will announce which jerseys they will be using on February 25th, and personally, we're rooting for the satin. Because that's just silly.

    I think all of the Dodgers and their fans should be made to pronounce "water" and "coffee" before they're allowed to purchase or wear the jersey.

  • Move the Dodgers back to Brooklyn!

    Maybe the Wilpons should have a say

    kind of a misleading title. i think if anything, this is an attempt to bring in NYC based fans, not the other way around.
