Upper Deck's Goodwin Champions set may not have been a hot item, but at least they went with the School Photo Day "clouds" backdrop for a good chunk of the cards. I'm also amused by the sentient old-timey baseball glove hovering over Brooks Robinson's left shoulder. I'd like to think it's whispering helpful bits of advice in Brooksie's ear, like "Take your time and set up for your throw; Lee May runs like a wounded bison". Also, my eyes could be playing tricks on me, but that glove doesn't appear to be golden. I did notice that the glove on Number 5's left hand is clearly stamped with the Rawlings logo, which is a sneaky advertisement for the company that sponsors MLB's Gold Glove Awards. Pretty smooth.
As plain as that uni/cap set was I really liked them. I think it's just because they are so un-Orioles like.
ReplyDeleteBob - Sometimes less is more. I still see the block-letter "B" caps fairly represented in the crowd at Oriole Park. It's not my favorite look, but it's nice to have options as a fan.
