Pirates Hats, White Sox Alts and Finely Era A's

To answer last night's query, yes the Pirates apprently do have two different hats:

On the left is from Friday's game, and on the right is from Saturday's game.  With the size of our current template, however, I don't know if a difference like that can really be distinguishable or not.

Also we've updated the Cleveland Alt jersey -- as alerted to us by Alexander Prorok:

In the database, the clevland indians alternate home jersey is incorect. Last year, the indians paired the cream jersey with the red hat, and blue sleves, belt and socks. This year, they are using red sleves, socks and belts.

It has been updated:

One other thing I wanted to mention, we are still seeking someone to create the graphics for our site -- someone to find or make a nice 2-D template and make up all of the uniform combos worn by current (as well as possibly past) MLB teams.  I've heard from a few people that are interested in helping out, but nothing has been finalized yet and the search continues.  If you would like to get involved, let us know.

In the mean time, as we continue to work with this clunky template, our friend Tim O'Brien submitted a nice rendition of the White Sox red Sunday Alternate 1973 throwback (left).  Speaking of 1973, last week in Uni Watch there was a picture posted of the A's wearing the solid green combo, and we came up with a representation of this in our template (right).  I imagine that by the time we get around to even think about including 1973 jerseys in the Diamond Uniform Database, we'll be using a different template, but I liked the way it looks, so I thought I'd post it here in the blog.  I'll admit this current template is a little ugly, but I think it's starting to grow on me.

If you want to follow in Tim E.'s footsteps and take this current template and whip up any combos for us that we're missing, like the Red Sox-A's throwbacks from Wednesday (or the 1912 Red Sox-Yankees duds for that matter) or any other combos we lack -- the Astros unveiled their second in a series of 50th Anniversary throwbacks yesterday -- feel free to send them our way.
