The column also mentioned that in 1993, the Giants considered changing the black lettering on their unis to orange. Iyick on that too-- that season was painful enough without having to endure all that orange. Unfortunately, those awful alternate jerseys from 2001 were not stopped before they stained the memory of that season.
No mention of anything that the A's worked on before shelving, probably because somehow all their awful ideas came became real. Actually, that multi-uniform concept from the 70’s was kind of cool.
