Did anyone go to the BioDome?

I found this article on Uniwatch on ESPN.com very intersting. I was in college in Oklahoma at the time, so I didn't even realize that this had occured. I do remember the abortion that was the MLB campaign though.

Looking back at the Mariners' futuristic night

The stuff about Griffey made me laugh out loud. How did I not see any of this at the time?? The picture of Buhner is priceless as well.

Unlike everyone else's uniforms

I thought our futuristic jerseys were kind of cool.

But brick red and silver?

WTF?

In the future, all things are made of brick.

These were the cool ones

the ones a few years later were way not. But these were still not cool. They were just less scary.

Right.

I just remember at the time they really played up Griffey’s involvement, like he’d actually designed them. I guess his role was still fairly significant, but he just had input.

What mystifies me is that the same basic scheme was used for all of the uniforms – much larger logos. Were people in 2027 all going to be horribly nearsighted? Why would EVERY team go for something so garish?

I never really liked the M’s ones. As a purist, I just couldn’t get excited about the M’s wearing red. It seemed so…angels to me (we’re Red! No, blue and yellow! Check that, Red and white! Oh, and call us ‘Anaheim.’ Never mind, let’s go back to Los Angeles. And blue. Nope, strike the blue. Red, definitely red. And ‘Los Angeles of Anaheim.’ Thanks).
