New Tonight…

Cardinals Road Blue Undershirts and Cleats

We didn’t change (because is was from previous seasons):
Cubs Road Helmet bill remains blue (hat is solid blue in style guide)
Red Sox road uniform stays the same (the one you see is new this year)
Rangers numbers stay the same (style guide shows no numbers on the front on all four jerseys)

Uniforms
Royals Blue Shoes
Rangers Alt Red Helmet
Blue Jays Undershirt Black

All retired and playing in Japan players in minor leagues removed

Next one…
Schedule times updated (still quite a few TBD, but will be MLB.com accurate as of today)
Hopefully an answer on the gigantic Cubs shoes issue.

The fake non-player union players will have the right skin tone (Kevin Millar, Brendan Donnelly, etc.), but we're holding off on the prospects until they actually sign to avoid any angry league issues.

Remember again guys, we can't add all the new guys until a few days into the season when they are approved by MLBPA. This is a very strict rule.

Upcoming roster update:
Schedule
More times updated.

Uniforms
Helmets, Shoes, and Undershirts should now all be consistent with the style guide (many changes especially to throwbacks and alternates), but we’d appreciate a second pass by the home town fans since I don’t 100% trust the style guides and they didn’t provide batting helmet reference.

Teams
Dave Roberts let go from Giants.
Dennys Reyes joins Cards.

Alexi Ramirez Updated
Manny Ramirez and Tim Lincecum contracts fixed
