ExesAndOhs Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 The Charlotte Knights minor league baseball club will wear the Charlotte Bobcats’ newly-introduced jerseys on Saturday, August 21, in a home-game contest against the Norfolk Tide at 7:15 p.m. at Knights Stadium in Fort Mill, S.C. This is believed to be the first time in minor league baseball history that a team has worn an NBA basketball jersey as its uniform top.The Knights, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, will wear authentic Bobcats jerseys with the “Charlotte” wordmark in place of the team’s normal game jersey. Each Knights player will wear their regular game number on their Bobcats jersey, and a silent auction will be held at Knights Stadium during the game where fans can bid on the jerseys, which will be signed after the game by the Knights player who wore it. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Bobcats Charitable Foundation. Bobcats player Gerald Wallace will throw out the first pitch wearing his new Bobcats uniform jersey. The Bobcats will unveil their new team uniforms on Saturday, August 21, 2004, at 12:00 noon at an open fan event at SouthPark Mall. The mid-day uniform unveiling event will also feature autograph sessions with Bobcats players, performances by the Bobcats Dance Team, entertainment by the team’s mascot Rufus Lynx, and merchandise sales. http://blogs.charlotte.com/.a/6a00d8341c02fd53ef0120a4e6277f970b-800wi Looks nice.

Flight Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Meh. Bobcats already had the best jerseys in the league IMO, no need to add these. I'm starting to hate pin stripes on jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) These Jerseys look a lot better; the old ones looked very boring. Edited August 14, 2009 by Ya Dig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldChili Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Looks alright, not sure if I prefer it over their old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExesAndOhs Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'm thinking that the blue jersey will be their primary road jersey and then orange to be their alternate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'm gonna miss those blue alternates, though. Those were sick. These just look like a Orlando/New Orleans hybrid. Hopefully it grows on me. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the blue and orange ones, and even the white is really flashy. The checkered flag ones they did for a while were alright too. IMO the pinstripes don't fit in with these.
