It's funny that they just make-up a "retro" jersey that never existed. Is this a one-time thing or their new alternate?

It's the colour palette of a powder blue tang, viewed through the lens of a salvia trip.

That Comic Sans number font just makes this jersey worth it.

Yeah, I actually like it. Not aesthetically, as it's horribly ugly, but the concept and execution deserve high marks...they asked themselves "hey, what's the most ridiculous-looking 70s/80s-style jersey we can imagine?" and created it, and it fits well with the goofiness of Maddon and the Rays.

Dan Gilbert would be proud.

So you can point and laugh at the people who buy one?

I hope they bring back the Tequila Sunrise for the Astros in one way or another for their upcoming season in the AL. I think they've been rumored to get new jerseys.

The lettering (look at the R and S) are very similar to the 1970s San Diego Padres jerseys.
I know this because I own a Dave Winfield one in this style.

The way they wrote Tampa Bay a lot smaller is the same style used too

Who buys this crap? For real.

Right, because Tampa was around before 98....
