Thanks for sharing this. It’s nice to see the changes in the uniform of Pittsbuegh Pirates before until now.

Answer: Thanks for making the comment, you are very welcome. I think there are a lot of baseball fans unaware of how many years (around 60 years) that the Pittsburgh Pirates’ colors were navy blue and red.
Also, their uniforms in the 1960’s were pretty striking and classy (and they were very successful then). Then in the early 1970’s they sported those uniquely colored pale-greyish-mustard-yellow caps with the black visor. Then of course, during the years around the 1979 champioship Willie Stargell-led ‘We Are Family’-theme song year, the Pirates wore those endless-variations-black-or-yellow-or-white-or black/yellow pinstripes uniforms, with that old-school box shaped hat (the “wedding cake”). Just stunning and loud gear (but in a good way) that they were incidently very successful in.

Pittsburgh Pirates should be always competitive enough to keep pace with the others. I really like them; they’ve always been my favourite teams in MLB. Just read about them here:
