TBTC Games.....

[kylehess10]

Does anybody know how to find out ahead of time when a team will be wearing throwbacks? I want to start recording TBTC games next year because I love buying throwback game used and ofcoarse I would like to photo/video-match it.

The easiest way is to check the promotion schedule for each team when they are released prior to the season. The TBTC games are usually listed.

Hello,
The best way to get info is to contact the people at Majestic through their website at www.majesticathletic.com . They gave me some great info to post on my site and always answered my questions in a timely manner. They won't have the TBTC schedule for next year just yet.

Here's the schedule they sent me earlier this year in regards to the TBTC games:

As you can see not a complete list and the Negro League games weren't on there but many of those games had ASI jerseys. Still, some great info there.

Good luck.

Nilbog,

Good information. By any chance, does your user name come from some made for TV movie years ago when some family on vacation got stuck in a town called Nilbog (Goblin spelled backwards)?

Strange, I know, but I remember watching it!

Forgot all about that Texas Rangers Cinco De Mayo game. Anyone remeber what the jersey looked like? There seemed to be quite a few Negro League throwback games this year. With each team playing in a road and home game. Teams I recall off hand playing in these games, Milwaukee, Washington, St. Louis, New York, Pittsburgh probally other's. The Nationals used the Gray's jersey and looked great. Would be nice to have a complete list of these games and what they looked like. I need to start saving these pics on my computer for reference. I also recall SF Giants in some throwback type game. Was it Gigantes or something like that and also some Negro league tribute game this past season. I really like these type of games. I know NHL is having some vintage games this season and NBA is always good for a couple throwback games.....

The San Francisco "Gigantes" played in 2005. I don't believe those were worn in 2006. I'll see if i can come up with a list for the Negro league games.

Anybody have a count on how many uni's the Padres wore this year? I think they had the most combinations this year. Another one with alot of unis were the Brewers with seven: Home, Away Grey, Alt. Blue, Sunday, Cerveceros, Home Bears (Negro), and Road Bears (grey).

Here's a pic of the "Los Rangers".

Indyred,
The Royals played the brewers as the Monarchs (I think). Here's a pic but I really don't have a front shot of KC's uni's.

Here are some more uniform photos to add to this discussion -- Milwaukee had 2 heritage days this season: 1 for African Americans & 1 for Latin Americans.
