Personally, I liked the old uniforms a lot (teal, or even the blue of the Panthers is a cool color) but the new ones have a nice futuristic look, something you wouldn't expect in baseball.

Just in case I use this for picks, an important disclaimer:   Note: For legality purposes, this Web site does not promote or advocate gambling. This is solely for entertainment purposes only.  I do not gamble, I only keep track of my picks. As for making this aesthetically pleasing... that's a different story. I'm not a graphics person, but I'll think about it. ~Ivar
