I actually think the Red Sox are neat because they're so old...you can't take them seriously, while the others, well, I think some people thought they looked good so they brought them back.

I like the logo all right, though. And everybody wore unis like that back then, so the styling is kind of irrelevant. Just doesn't translate to the modern era.

I have a Dave Winfield throwback like the one pictured, and it gets a lot of compliments.
