Not a change that I like. :ughh Real BLUE fans know our players by their numbers, OR, they're willing to look up the rookies or recent call-ups. I like the idea of no names because the only names that should matter are "Dodgers" on our home unis and "Los Angeles" on our roads. :mad: Any thoughts?
Here's the scoop: http://insidethedodgers.mlblogs.com/my_weblog/2006/02/back_by_popular.html

Hmmm...46 years with names on the back compared to two without.
I sorta liked the no-names deal, but with all the minor leaguers being called up, it was difficult to keep up with the names and numbers.

The Dodgers added names in the mid-1970s. Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale among others never wore jerseys with names on them.

Now you're talkin'.
As I said, if a fan wants to know badly enough who a guy is, they'll either buy a program, ask around, or memorize the roster.
Plus, how cool is it to be at the ballpark, watch a young kid lace a liner or strike someone out, and then ask, "Who's that guy?" :D

I noticed that as soon as I hit "post."
Anyway, as long as the team colors and logo remain the same, it doesn't matter what's on the back. Isn't that what Tommy said?
