Look for the '69 style uniforms tonight. Ed Eagle reports:
Friday, the Pirates and Expos will turn the clock back to 1969, the first year of the Montreal franchise, by wearing uniforms from that season. The Bucs' sleeveless gray road jerseys will differ only in that the lettering across the front will read "Pirates," rather than "Pittsburgh," and there will be no name plates on the back."
Raise your hand if you remember the '69 Expos uniform.
I'd like to see the Expos go to Las Vegas, where they could become the Explorers and adopt the same lettering style and general look as the Montreal team. There would be no way to reincorporate that tri-color M. The current script on the chest of the uniforms could be retained, though. And Expos->Explorers would give Vegas a good excuse to be yet another team with red, white, and blue colors. That may be the happiest of possible endings for that franchise.
