Bud Parks Tweaks The American League

[Editor’s Note: Paul is on his annual August break from site. Deputy editor Phil Hecken is in charge from now through the end of the month, although Paul may be popping up here occasionally.]

By Phil Hecken, with Bud Parks

You guys know I love uniform concepts, tweaks and redesigns, so when reader Bud Parks told me he’d come up with tweaks for all 30 MLB teams, I couldn’t wait to see what he’d created. Turns out he’s got some minor tweaks — but some of these really seem to work (others, maybe not so much), but each of them are well thought out and certainly worth consideration. We’ll tackle the American League today, and the National League another time. Here’s Bud:

American League Uniform and Cap Concepts
By Bud Parks

***all credit goes to Chris Creamer of for the creation of the uniform templates and some logo templates I used. Thanks Chris!

***the top row is what the team currently uses as their set. The bottom row are my edits. A number of teams have made changes to their repertoire since I worked on them, so the top row may be outdated every so often. Sorry!

***alternates labeled “weekend” = Friday and Saturday, but not Sunday. Alternates worn on Saturday and/or Sunday are labelled accordingly

***”Whenever” means exactly that. sometimes ‘whenever’ means pretty often, like the Pirates black alternate, other times whenever can mean 2 or 3 times a season

***Contrary to what this site usually preaches, I really appreciate color on the diamond so every team has at least one alternate jersey. Even the Yankees!

Baltimore Orioles

As primarily an O’s fan myself, I’ve been relatively pleased with all of the incremental changes the team has made of the past 10 or so years; making the sleeve trim a bit more interesting, adding a killer sleeve patch, adding and then fixing the Baltimore script, etc. So maybe I got a little carried away with this one, but I think the results turned out well. First off, I’ve always preferred the older Orioles script from the early 90s, I think it has more character and fits in just fine with the current Baltimore script. Secondly, the road jersey could benefit from a little bit of a darker tone, so the lettering colors get flipped from what they currently are (I’ve also designed a black version of the sleeve patch to better match). The orange alt I think suffers quite a bit from the sleeve trim not matching the lettering colors, so that gets updated and my new alt sleeve patch is added as well. The black alt gets updated from saying Orioles to Baltimore, since that’s what it should’ve been all along, but especially now that more and more teams are wearing alternate jerseys at home with the city or state name and the world hasn’t ended. And finally, the hats. This is not a vendetta against the cartoon bird, in fact I like him just fine. He just ended up being the odd logo out; I’ve always preferred the O’s hat logo and have always wanted them to have a B hat of some kind, which works great as a road hat. The O’s logo I’ve created matches the older script, with the apostrophe sort of being carved out of the larger swoop the O had back then.

• • •

Boston Red Sox

When the Red Sox won the the World Series in 2004, they had only two jerseys; one of them had ONLY placket trim, and the other had ONLY sleeve trim. I thought that was kind of a fun, unique quirk for them so I decided to bring it back and preserve the idea on their current red and navy alts as well. Add the sleeve patch from the road jersey to the other three, introduce a red hat to wear on weekends, and there’s your set.

• • •

New York Yankees

As very much NOT a Yankees fan, it took every ounce of me not to screw with their home pins just out of spite. But their road jersey has always felt kinda blah to me. I guess it’s unique, but it’s never been well designed enough to be interesting. A gray, pinless version of their home whites similar to the throwback they wore a few years ago seems like the right call to me; still instantly recognizable, different enough to stand out, but much more within their overall aesthetic. Add in a gray brimmed cap for fun, and a navy alt to wear admittedly sparingly, which is basically their current BP threads.

• • •

Tampa Bay Rays

My instinct told me to scrap their set altogether and just bring back their previous green look with a few minor adjustments, but if they’re gonna stay with the navy/baby blue look, there are definite improvements to be made. When I was working on these, the stingray sleeve patch was still missing from their alt softball tops, so I’m at least glad they made that change on their own this season. They experiment so often with baby blue caps in Spring Training that adding a baby-brimmed cap seems like they should’ve done something like it years ago. And finally, they have a pretty good Tampa Bay script in their style guide but it’s not used anywhere on their uniform. Switch out their gray and navy jerseys to utilize it, and the result I think is pretty dramatic.

• • •

Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays are mostly perfect, but I’ve always preferred the original Jays logo with the lighter blues and the baseball behind it. Updating the current Jays logo to these specifications is pretty easy, and the result I think looks pretty great. Replace the Jays logo on the lower half of the jersey with numbers, add a sleeve patch of their current primary logo with the team name and ball, and a red-brimmed hat for home Sundays, and that’s all that needs to be done in my opinion.

• • •

Chicago White Sox

The current Sox logo has always been interesting to me, but it’s unbalanced/doesn’t fit very well on a hat. The old Black Sox logo, however, has always been gorgeous to me. The introduction of their batterman for Spring Training in their current colors I think has also worked really well and deserves the promotion to an official alternate hat. The socks look a bit like football socks, but I tried to come up with something that splits up the top of the sock and the bottom of the pant and still look ok while keeping most of the sock, you know, white. Added the Northwestern stripe as a nod to their University neighbor.

• • •

Cleveland Indians

A frequent hot-button topic, the Indians were my first team in tee-ball and my grandparents from Erie are huge Tribe fans, so the controversy around Wahoo has always made me a bit sad. I understand both sides of the argument, but I think there’s a compromise to be made, and one that does not involve the super-horrible block C, which I think is the most boring, uninspired logo in all of sports. A few people have tried their hand at the Caveman C with a feather, so this is my attempt; but not only do I bring back the C, but the Caveman script onto the jerseys as well. Also making a return is the triple color trim from the early 90s, as well as the silver outlining that was used in the mid-00s which I always had a major soft spot for and was very sad to see them retreat away from them in the early 2010s. The primary logo crest finds its way onto the uniform as a sleeve patch, and is one of my creations during this project I’m most proud of.

• • •

Detroit Tigers

You’d think the two different Ds from a couple years ago would set off all sorts of alarms within my OCD, but in reality I loved that quirk about them, and the current D is too thin when blown up to the proportions needed on their jerseys today. So not only should they bring it back on their home jersey, but all their other jersey(s) as well! I still like and preserved the orange/white double-outline their current road gray uses on the wordmark, and the occasional navy alt at home and orange alt on the road would be a good way to get the attention of some fans who might be otherwise bored with what they’re currently trotting out day-in and day-out.

• • •

Kansas City Royals

It’s easy to see why the Royals took their World Series championship celebratory gold jerseys and decided to make them a permanent alt, but there’s not really a good reason why they need both it and their regular home jersey. The solution to me is to combine aspects of both jerseys into a single home offering, and mimic some of its qualities on a royal blue alt. A distinct lack of gold trim on the road jersey is intentional, not because it wouldn’t work, but because sometimes it’s ok to have a somewhat distinct look between home and road duds, a la Montreal Canadiens. I suspect a lot of people will mourn the loss of the baby blue alt, since the Royals were a main player in making that 80s trend so popular, but to me, the gold is a better secondary/trim color for them, and they don’t need two. And of course, I think it goes without saying that their BP cap from a few years ago needs to be their everyday look.

• • •

Minnesota Twins

All of the gold the Twins have added in the past few years, however, makes no sense to me and doesn’t work for them at all. Having two almost-identical hats where one logo is outlined in gold and the other has no outline is the definition of overkill (the Twins just this year have started wearing their all-navy, outline-less hat for road games instead of their basically defunct red-brimmed road cap), so it’s best to just eliminate the gold altogether, clean some trim up, and simplify all available options. I hated the lowercase M cap from the 90s when it was around, but now that it’s gone I realize just how much I miss it. Bring it back as the road cap, please and thank you.

• • •

Houston Astros

I actually really liked their previous black-ish/brick red from their NL days, but now that they have a championship to celebrate in their current colors, I’m sure they are mostly here to stay. That doesn’t mean they couldn’t improve upon what they have though. The most pressing issue: the squatchee doesn’t match the brim of their current-road hat. I own a lot of hats (over 400), but I have specifically avoided buying hats that have this exact issue; it drives me bonkers. The next thing needing fixed is to give the wordmark some pizzazz, a name like Astros deserves to have a little flare, so I tried to create and homage to their original shooting star jersey but tried to make it a little more visually balanced. Swap the home and road hat uses, nix the orange jersey altogether, make the tequila sunrise motif a little more subdued on the navy alt (which I will concede is kind of the opposite of the point of the tequila sunrise in the first place), and suddenly they’re a lot more interesting looking without compromising their current overall aesthetic.

• • •

LA Angels (of Anaheim)

A more involved tweak, I really like the current A logo but it’s used way too much on too many places on their uniform. It’s also bothered me that the Angels’ primary color for so long has been the color of what most would consider to be the opposite of angels. A more involved use of navy blue like from their California Angels days would go a long way in fixing things, as well as a commitment to silver for a trim color. I decided to create a secondary logo that can be used as their cap logo and added into their left sleeve patch, so the primary A logo can still be a part of their chest wordmark and not be repeated anywhere else on the jersey. Why replace their current A on the hat? So they can finally bring a long-overdue return to the cap-top halo from their earliest years. A piece of uniform innovation that is so unique to them and can’t possibly be copied by anyone else, they deserve to showcase it every game possible; and also a feature that exempts them from my prior gripe about squatchees not matching brims. I know that they’ve recently dropped the “of Anaheim” in their official name, but I also kind of like that their road uniform has both “LA” and “Anaheim” on different parts of it.

• • •

Oakland Athletics

So I think we can all agree that Oakland’s current alt kelly green threads are exponentially better than their darker green options, yes? So then let’s just make it permanent. I like that it’s sort of unique to them that they present their logo two completely different ways on their home and road hat, but I still think the home hat could benefit from a little yellow to drive home the idea, so they should use their current road hat logo styling on the home hat with white outlined in yellow, and flip it on the road hat so it’s yellow outlined in white. Their BFBS attempts from the early 00s were on the right track, but they never quite got the lettering colors to be what they should’ve been the first time around. The final change is returning the sleeve patch to the proper white elephant instead of their current green, since his color is the entire point of why he became their mascot in the first place.

• • •

Seattle Mariners

I have a confession: the Mariners’ compass logo, by itself, is my favorite logo in all of sports. I own just about every hat they’ve ever come out with that has it, and have pined for years for them to make an on-field offering of it ever since their silver-brimmed beauties from the mid-90s. Nothing against their current S logo, but this is my project and I get to do what I want. I have a few compass hats where it has a thin white outline, and I think that really helps sharpen the edges and make the shape pop. Add in some sleeve trim, update the colors of the lettering/numbers of the teal alt, fix the number font on the navy alt, drop the fauxback, and you have maybe my favorite uniform set in all of baseball.

• • •

Texas Rangers

It’s been said many times on this site that the Rangers can’t decide if they’re a primarily blue or primarily red team, and indeed they’ve swayed back and forth between the two over the course of their history, with today’s team seemingly waffling the most. But I say that maybe it’s time to lean into this indecision, and own both colors as equally and garishly as possible. I like the idea of returning to a vest option for them for a couple reasons; the first being that vests were a pretty common sartorial choice of ACTUAL Texas Rangers, and the second that it allows the team to move their Texas flag sleeve patch to their chest (albeit in a slightly smaller form). Why over their chests? Because they’re deep in the HEART of Texas, don’cha know! Cheesy? Probably. But somehow I feel it’d be a detail that Texans might just absolutely love. (And no, I’m not advocating that the team wear different-colored sleeves on the home and road jerseys, only illustrating thru the template that they could wear one color OR the other at different times).

Thanks, Bud! Well readers, what’s your verdict on Bud’s tweaks?

Guess The Game…

from the scoreboard

The game has returned! At least for a trial basis, but I got a lot of positive response to its return, so we’ll see how long we keep this one going.

Today’s scoreboard comes from reader “ojai67”.

The premise of the game (GTGFTS) is simple: I’ll post a scoreboard and you guys simply identify the game depicted. In the past, I don’t know if I’ve ever completely stumped you (some are easier than others).

Pretty cool one today — it’s a shutout but it’s not a no hitter. So how will this game end up? And when did it take place?

Here’s the Scoreboard. In the comments below, try to identify the game (date & location, as well as final score). If anything noteworthy occurred during the game, please add that in (and if you were AT the game, well bonus points for you!):

If you guys like this, please continue sending these in! You’re welcome to send me any scoreboard photos (with answers please), and I’ll keep running them.

And now our daily check-in from Paul: Hi again. Some quick reminders and announcements:

1. Cycling jersey reminder: In case you missed it yesterday, we’re now taking pre-orders on the first-ever Uni Watch cycling jersey, which you can get with your choice of number and NOB. Full details here.

2. Anniversary patch price drop reminder: In case you missed it yesterday, the Uni Watch 20th-Anniversary Patch, which was originally priced at $9.99, can now be yours for only $6.99. Full ordering details here.

3. HQ Sports reminder: I’m going to be appearing on the app-driven live sports trivia show HQ Sports (part of the larger HQ Trivia empire) next Wednesday, Aug. 21, 8pm Eastern. It’s going to be a uniform-themed game, and I’ve been involved in writing the questions. Should be fun!

4. Raffle results: Our latest raffle winner is Ted Lieberman, who’s won himself an item of his choice from the Vintage Brand website. Congrats to him, and thanks to VB for once again sponsoring a raffle.

5. ITEM! New shirt launch: I’ve been wanting to do a camouflage Uni Watch shirt for years, and Teespring’s new sublimation capabilities have finally made that possible. Check this out (click to enlarge):

Not bad, right? It’s hard to see in that mock-up, but there’s a custom sleeve-patch graphic on the right sleeve:

I’m proud to announce that 100% of Uni Watch’s profits on this shirt will be donated to the Peace Corps. Big thanks to Jimmy Nutini and Bryan Molloy for their assistance with the design.

Just for efficiency’s sake, let’s nip a few issues in the bud:

This shirt is disrespectful to the military!

Actually, no, it’s not. You know what’s disrespectful to the military? Dressing able-bodied young athletes in camouflage clown costumes in a cynical attempt to sell merchandise. This shirt takes aim at that practice (just like our BFBS shirt is a critique of black alternate uniforms and our flag-themed “Pandering” shirt is a critique of stars/stripes uniforms).

But the phrase “G.I. Joke” on the sleeve patch makes fun of the military!

No it doesn’t. I’ve called camouflage sports uniforms “G.I. Joke” for many years now. The term refers to the camo clown costumes, not to the military.

Yeah, but not everybody knows that. If I wear this shirt out and about, people who don’t know about Uni Watch might see it and get pissed off about it.

If someone says something to you about the shirt and you end up having a conversation about it, that doesn’t strike me as such a bad thing. But if you want to avoid that, no problemo — don’t buy the shirt.

You’d probably sell a lot more of them if you toned down the message.

Maybe. But maxing out the sales numbers isn’t my goal here. My goal, as usual, is to have a satisfying creative project that expresses a point of view. This shirt says exactly what I want to say, in exactly the way I want to say it. If it sells a lot, that’s great; if not, that’s fine too. Either way, I’m pleased with it.

That’s it for today. Again, I’m not reading the comments this month, so if you have a question about any of this, feel free to email me.

Now back to Phil with the rest of today’s content.

65 comments to Bud Parks Tweaks The American League

  • RS Rogers | August 16, 2019 at 8:09 am |

    Bud’s tweaks to the Rangers are brilliant. I’ve always thought that the team’s balancing of red and blue was a virtue, not a fault, and these tweaks emphasize that. Nicely done!

    • Padday | August 16, 2019 at 12:12 pm |

      Agreed. Plus, we need more vests in the league so that’s a major plus.

      Only thing is that now that the idea has been planted in my head I think they definitely should have one red sleeve and one blue and then pair them with one red and one blue sock in a harlequin style with right sleeve matching left sock and vice versa.

    • Robert | August 16, 2019 at 1:47 pm |

      100% agree! I like that they mix it up and think the tweaks are great!

      But don’t rule out multi-color sleeves from the team that gave us this:

  • Memal | August 16, 2019 at 8:20 am |

    Maybe because I’ve never seen the Athletics in kelly green jerseys regularly, but I actually prefer their forest green and gold look. I found myself nodding along and liking most of your tweaks Bud, but the Athletics was the lone example I disagree with.

    Other quick thoughts:
    * I love the compass logo for the Mariners too! I think it can definitely be bigger on the hat.
    * I definitely prefer the halos on the hats for the Angels, and LA on there as well. I know the halo wouldn’t pop on a red hat, but I would prefer them keep the red hat. Otherwise, I like all the tweats there.
    * I love the Ray’s stingray logo, would love to see them wear it more often. Glad to see it’s there for everyday use.

    • Elijah Myers | August 16, 2019 at 10:24 am |

      It’s tough because I love the gold and forest green look and think the A’s have the nicest uniforms in the league, but that Kelly green is also amazing. Honestly don’t know which route they should go but I guess it’s a good problem to have when either way you’re gonna have some great uniforms.

    • ChrisH | August 16, 2019 at 1:52 pm |

      I’ll say it…I hate the halo hat.
      Always have. Always will.

      While the Angels should have never broken away from the navy blue (or the ‘California’ for that matter), there’s simply too much use of that color already in the AL…sticking with the red sets them apart from the crowd.

    • kdawg | August 16, 2019 at 5:47 pm |

      Came here to day I prefer the other green too.

      • kdawg | August 16, 2019 at 5:48 pm |

        “Say” obviously.

    • Russell | August 16, 2019 at 9:30 pm |

      I have a sentimental attachment to the darker green because I’ve been an A’s fan since childhood and the A’s have worn that uniform/color for the entirety of my life.

      I think I objectively like the kelly green a bit better, but I don’t like a lot about how they’re currently using it. They seem to downplay the gold in the color scheme when using kelly green and I think it makes the team feel more bland even though the base color is brighter.

      I don’t mind the tweaks proposed for the A’s, but I would definitely not want them to mess with the color balance of the home cap. Green (of whatever shade), with the white A’s emblem and gold brim is and has always been a perfect balance. The gold trim on the logo feels superfluous here.

      I don’t care what they do with their road cap, since I wish they didn’t have one in the first place. If anything, I’d much prefer they use your proposed home cap as a road cap, since that way they could at least keep the gold bill, which balances out the uniform perfectly.

  • Steve D | August 16, 2019 at 8:32 am |

  • Brett | August 16, 2019 at 8:45 am |

    Bud Parks, where do I sign? LONG SLOW CLAP. Bravo.

  • Tim | August 16, 2019 at 8:50 am |

    I agree completely with the Twins unis. The use of gold is tacky and gimmicky on the home sets. Adding a uniform accent based on your stadium that’s less than 10 years old seems awful desperate. Bring back the pinstripes at home or completely redo the jerseys. I’ve always thought it looks like they ran out of ideas or time at the end and said “just use the same script but invert the colors”.

    They won their only 2 World Series in the M caps and mothballing them for a logo largely associated with losing was a bad move. The M on the road makes perfect sense for a place to use it and would make a lot of fans very happy.

    • RS Rogers | August 16, 2019 at 10:39 am |

      The Twins are a mess, and I agree that Bud’s changes would make for a slight improvement. But it’s still a muddled identity. The modern-script Twins at home, a completely unrelated old-style hand-drawn Minnesota on the road, and no element of either script matches any element of either the TC or the M cap that Bud puts with it.

      The TC cap logo is simply not well designed, given how little dark/bright contrast there is between red thread and navy fabric. In most lighting, it’s a white T with a faint purplish blur around it. The mustard outline significantly improves the visibility of the logo on the navy cap. So if the Twins are to keep the TC caps, then they either need a third accent color like the mustard or they need to render the TC in one color, or in one color with a second-color outline like the M logo. Or, better yet, re-adopt the 1986 uniform set but with the updated Twins script, with its improved serifs on the S.

  • Rich | August 16, 2019 at 8:53 am |

    The Astros’ current colors are also pretty much their original (and rightful) colors. The RGB values are slightly different, but otherwise, they went back to their roots. That fact, more than the championship, is the reason the Astros’ current colors need to be here to stay.

    The Astros did win in a pennant in black and red, and, yet, as a lifelong fan born in the 1970s, I’ve never felt more disconnected to the franchise than in the red-and-black years.

  • Mike D | August 16, 2019 at 9:07 am |

    Great work Bud! There are some that are definitely upgrades, and some not so much. Either way, love the time and effort you put into each team.

    Texas, Oakland (minus the BFBS), and Minnesota are huge improvements over their current sets.

    On the other hand, Baltimore and Toronto are slight downgrades (Toronto is perfect as is) and Kansas City is a big downgrade.

    As a Yankees fan I like the current set and do not want an alternative top or cap. That said, if they ever update their road uni or add an alternative uni, that NY road jersey would look good.

    100% agree on those Cleveland pants. They need to bring those back.

    • Wade Heidt | August 16, 2019 at 9:17 am |

      Blue Jays are pretty perfect as they are…except they need to wear the alternate white front panel cap as the permanent home cap.

    • PaulS | August 16, 2019 at 1:20 pm |

      I’m in agreement on the Jays design with Bud (lighten the light blue for added contrast; TO has ALWAYS been Double Blue
      ), Mike (leave the logo on the front of the jersey), AND Wade (bring back the white, front panel cap with the white home togs).

  • Winter | August 16, 2019 at 9:12 am |

    A couple of thoughts on the tweaks.
    *I’m thinking I like basic utilitarian design more than Bud in that I don’t find the Yankees current road or the Indians block C boring. I find them clean. The Indians current hats, especially, remind me of the old felt on wool hats design you’d see in earlier times, and I like that. It looks like baseball to me. And the Yankees should never have an alt jersey.

    *I do agree on the Astros, as they always should’ve had the shooting star logo.

    * The Tigers current roads are actually pretty nice. That orange alt? I don’t know, man.

  • Wade Heidt | August 16, 2019 at 9:19 am |

    I’m digging the White Sox concept and the use of that old logo. May work best with just full white socks. There is no silver/grey in the white or alternate jersey, so having it just in the socks to me seems out of place.

    • DJ | August 16, 2019 at 9:42 am |

      The old logo belongs with throwbacks only. The Old English S-O-X was used during the Go-Go Sox era of the 50s, into the 60s, and now since the 90s (with the first World Series win in 88 years).

      Agree on plain white socks.

      • Nestor Chylak | August 16, 2019 at 11:11 am |

        Yeah, I don’t understand his dislike of the Old English SOX. I consider it one of the best in MLB. I’ve never liked “batterman”; it looks like something a European baseball team might wear, lol.

        I do agree with him that the “Bold English ‘D'” looks better on the Tigers jerseys, and I’m surprised I like it on the roads, too.

  • Liam | August 16, 2019 at 9:28 am |

    Well done Bud on the tweaks. Baltimore and Oakland especially. Always preferred that older, smaller Orioles script, and the road color reversal for the O’s is long-overdue. Love the Oakland BFBS sock/stirrup combo. Good work!

  • Brent Nelson | August 16, 2019 at 9:36 am |

    Lot of content to digest today, love uni concepts. These are all great but please get rid of the white outline on the Tigers roads. It makes my eye twitch! Can’t wait to see the Nat’l League! Hope there’s a St. Louis script road uni for the Cardinals.

    • PaulS | August 16, 2019 at 2:04 pm |

      Agreed on the Tigers’ road unis; the best thing they could do is a hybrid of the 50s-60s era jerseys – midnight blue script Detroit, with orange outline, across the front, matching (midnight blue w/ orange outline) block numbers on left sleeve and back, with single color name.

      And forget the orange brim on the caps; if you must have an alternate cap, go with the monster D that graced the mid-70s road togs.

  • Johnny | August 16, 2019 at 9:44 am |

    I’m going to be a bit negative with my critique here…

    These re-designs that are posted here rarely take into account the purpose of the elements, and never explain the purpose of the elements altered beyond “I think this looks cool” which can be fine, but I always thought Uni-Watch deserved more in-depth reasoning.

    • Daniel Tarrant | August 16, 2019 at 1:29 pm |

      At the end of the day, though, doesn’t everybody’s opinions on uniforms come down to “I think this looks cool?”

      Now, I get that some people, especially those trained/experienced in graphic design, will take a more technical approach to things, perhaps pointing out the proper amount of negative space or discussing the symmetry of a logo or the lack thereof. But even then, sometimes design elements of logos/uniforms that may not be technically correct will be seen as “quirks” and become beloved by many fans.

      As the saying goes, Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. :)

  • Elijah Myers | August 16, 2019 at 9:59 am |

    I absolutely love these tweaks. Especially adding the “Anaheim”, “Tampa Bay”, and “Rangers” to those jerseys because I hate when teams have the same thing across all of their jerseys. That being said the only things I don’t like are:
    -As an Orioles fan as well I love the tweaks and I’d love to add a hat with a B on it but I wouldn’t get rid of the oriole bird since literally every team but Toronto and Baltimore have a logo with a letter/letters and I think it’s boring (Which is why I love adding the compass to the Mariners hats)
    -Detroit also doesn’t need an orange jersey because I think they use just enough as is and plus I also would love to see at least one jersey say Tigers and/or Detroit (for the same reasons stated in the beginning)
    -Also would rather see the gold jersey stay rather than add a black jersey but I can see how the kelly green wouldn’t go with a gold jersey

  • Dan Y | August 16, 2019 at 10:59 am |

    Love the Detroit and Kansas City uniforms and can’t believe that Astros haven’t come up with those socks yet. Found the July 30, 1961 for Tiger game…didn’t realize someone else already had it. Fun figuring it out though.

  • Will Shoken | August 16, 2019 at 11:04 am |

    Another Oriole fan here agreeing strongly with Bud’s tweaks to the Birds’ jerseys but I have to disagree with his Oriole cap designs. They have to keep the cartoon bird on the cap, but drop the white panel. Also I would prefer orange stirrups/socks for the home uniform.

  • Patrick B | August 16, 2019 at 11:08 am |

    I love a lot of these tweaks. Especially the Angels. They are too red-centric right now.

    Speaking of red, has there ever been a post here about the Red Sox switching the undershirts from navy to red in the early 2000s? I understand wanting to have red socks, and have the sleeves match, but I’ve always felt the red sleeves are too loud. Going back to the 60s style with blue sleeves and the red, white, and blue striped stirrups would be so much more aesthetically pleasing.

    • Nate | August 16, 2019 at 11:54 am |

      The new ownership in the early 2000’s wanted to re-emphasize the “Red” in Red Sox, so red was made the dominant color in the logo lettering, undershirts, team apparel, catcher’s gear, new alternate jersey, etc…

      Basically, it was a re-branding effort by the new guys who wanted to make their mark on the franchise. You could argue that, prior to the changes, the Red Sox were kind of stuck in that Rangers-like limbo between red and blue. They were a blue team with red trim, except the logos, which were red with blue trim. And the team name, obviously.

      • Patrick B | August 16, 2019 at 4:10 pm |

        Thanks for the info. I understand the logic behind it, just think the undershirts look garish

    • Daniel Tarrant | August 16, 2019 at 1:34 pm |

      I agree that the Red Sox looked better with navy undershirts.

  • David | August 16, 2019 at 11:38 am |

    Bud’s tweaks are mostly horrible, especially these:
    –Athletics BFBS? Are you nuts? Lay off the crack pipe.
    –White Sox still wearing that ugly black? Blue and white should be the team’s colors. Black glorifies the cheating Eight Men Out.
    –Orioles dropping the cartoon bird? Frank Robinson and Earl Weaver should return from the grave and kick your butt.
    –Twins keeping the current script on the home unis? Hell no. Too played out. Go back to the classic script.

    FYI, the Royals never wear their current royal blue alts at home.

    • Joal Kjarsgaard | August 17, 2019 at 12:35 am |

      Yeah… well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

    • DJ | August 17, 2019 at 5:43 pm |

      White Sox still wearing that ugly black? Blue and white should be the team’s colors. Black glorifies the cheating Eight Men Out.

      The Go-Go Sox also wore black, with red trim. I think any exclusive association with the Black Sox has been burned away. I do have a soft spot for the navy and white of Bill Veeck’s second go-around, though.

  • Noel | August 16, 2019 at 1:02 pm |

    It’s the GI Joke crap that makes me not like this site.

    • White and Gold Nation | August 19, 2019 at 12:51 am |

      I was thinking the same thing. You can post answers to your questions all day long that “Oh these are not offensive to the military or respectful” but I am pretty sure that that many would disagree. It comes across as mocking and IMO does lack respect regardless of the argument it does not.

      As his hypothetical question realizes, wearing this out and about – I would NEVER do that – is going to make the wearer look like a jerk because the general public is not going to associate it with a personal vendetta by a website that most people do not read – sorry, but not everyone is a uniform junkie like those of us that read UniWatch. And even if the shirt does manage to start a conversation as opposed to an argument, I think this campaign against military theme unis to honor the military is going to ring hollow with a supporter of the military and only resonate with those who already harbor a dislike for the military.

      I debated this issue with Paul in the comments before and we do not see it eye to eye. But believe that his opposition is not disrespect for the military. However, this shirt is a hamhanded way to make that point, with few prospects of winning converts, all while crossing a link that I feel many will find mocking to the military. If this is the attitude of the owner, it makes me want to get my uni news elsewhere.

  • RICKAZ | August 16, 2019 at 1:06 pm |

    Sorry but absolutely hate the “Anaheim” on the Angels road uniform. Why not put the suburb name of every other team that doesn’t happen to play in the actual city that their name is? Also the “LA” on their hat would be unbelievably unpopular with their actual fanbase in Orange County. When the Angels moved to the OC they changed from Los Angeles to California since they were the only American League team in California. When Disney bought them they changed their name to Anaheim to promote the city where Disneyland is located. Now with Arte Moreno owning the team, he wants to benefit from representing the entire Los Angeles basin area. However the OC residents don’t want to be associated with LA. What they should do is name it after the region, calling it the “Southern California Angels”. A “SC” logo on the hat would look great.

  • Tom Tagliabue | August 16, 2019 at 1:13 pm |

    The Rangers concept unis ROCK! They must change the goofy out of proportion Lone Star flag!

  • Brian | August 16, 2019 at 1:15 pm |

    As a returned Peace Corps volunteer, I don’t feel that the message of the Uni Watch camouflage jersey is consistent with the mission and aims of the Peace Corps. Instead, I would prefer that 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the camouflage jerseys went for another purpose, such as to organizations that serve the needs of veterans. That might allow any conversation the jersey provokes to be focused on how we can find better ways to respect the contribution and sacrifice of women and men who serve in the armed forces.

    On a uni-related note, Peace Corps are volunteers are commonly instructed in pre-service training to avoid wearing clothing that has militaristic elements or insignia, including clothing with camouflage, so that they are not mistaken for active members of the United States Armed Forces. Many Peace Corps volunteers would not feel comfortable wearing this camouflage jersey in the actual communities they serve in, an ironic twist considering how proceeds from the sale of this jersey benefit their agency.

    Readers can learn more about the mission of Peace Corps here:

    I’m a longtime Uni Watch reader. Thanks for letting me share my personal view on this matter. I should acknowledge that other returned Peace Corps volunteers may feel differently than I do.

    Kind regards,

  • ChrisH | August 16, 2019 at 1:27 pm |

    Tampa Bay Rays-
    “My instinct told me to scrap their set altogether and just bring back their previous green look with a few minor adjustments,…”

    Trust your instincts, Bud ;)

    • Brent Nelson | August 16, 2019 at 2:46 pm |

      I dug the green unis. They were unique to MLB. If they would have just scaled back the black they’d have been even better IMO.

  • Bud | August 16, 2019 at 1:54 pm |

    Thanks for all the great feedback, folks! Even the few disagreements there have been, it’s very interesting to see what other people’s preferences are for certain things and where those might lead if a tweak was made towards them. If any of you ever have time to create a mock-up of what’s been described, I’d love to see it!

    Looking forward to showing you the NL later this month!

  • Brian Henke | August 16, 2019 at 2:18 pm |

    In MLS Wednesday night, Portland Timbers white at home against Chicago Fire.

  • Andrew M | August 16, 2019 at 2:19 pm |

    “Invisible” would be another good NOB for the camo shirt, since you’re not supposed to be able to see camouflage.

  • Brent | August 16, 2019 at 2:50 pm |

    I liked all the tweaks mostly. My team is the Rangers so I didn’t like the two color sleeve aspect until I read it’s either or. The flag should stay on the sleeve though. And I know it flips everyone out, but everyone I know loves that they have Texas across every uniform. It’s just how we are. IF they ever went back to Rangers across the chest, it should be the Nolan Ryan era script.

    Also I was glad to see the angels back in blue caps. A red logo on a ref hat is beyond insipid. Same with the numbers. Tampa would look better as well. Contrast people!

  • Kyle | August 16, 2019 at 3:28 pm |

    Paul, I support your brave stance against camouflage uniforms. I was surprised donations are going to the Peace Corp. A government institution that perpetuates the white savior complex and provides “ins” for international corporations to hire people locals trust to in turn entrap them in corporate debt schemes.

    • Peter | August 16, 2019 at 4:34 pm |

      Please define what’s “brave” about this?

    • Noel | August 16, 2019 at 4:58 pm |

      Nothing brave. Just a political statement of dislike for the Military.

      • Steve | August 16, 2019 at 5:19 pm |

        You couldn’t be more wrong. I agree with Paul and definitely do not dislike the military. I would say MLB, NFL, etc.. are the ones that do not like the military by continuing to do what they do. Disrespect it.

        • Peter | August 16, 2019 at 6:18 pm |

          I just asked why is this “brave”.
          This is not an action that would be defined as such.

          I have my take on this, but that is for me

        • White and Gold Nation | August 19, 2019 at 7:25 am |

          I believe him when he says he does not dislike the military. But when using “phrases” like GI Joke that crosses a line and makes me wonder what his true feelings are. I can appreciate that some have legitimate principled opposite to military appreciation uniforms – I do not and I truly see them as honoring the military – but the language is IMO very disrespectful and it detracts from whatever that principled opposition may be. The question comes down to whatever audience encounters the shirts and their take – perception is reality and if he is willing to risk his brand over his point of view that is his choice to make.

      • Joal Kjarsgaard | August 17, 2019 at 12:44 am |

        Paul is not saying the military in general is a joke, nor its current service members or veterans. Rather, he is saying that this manner of “honoring” them is a joke, as it’s more of a merchandising scheme than a true expression of gratitude.

  • Stan Schenher | August 16, 2019 at 3:29 pm |

    I like the “B” cap for the O’s. Every team should have a cap representing their hometown or state. It would really look better with a white outline. Also, like the White Sox cap in all black but not the 2 tone. They should bring back the 1959 Sox cap in block letters. IMO the best cap they ever had

    • DJ | August 17, 2019 at 5:46 pm |

      No. It doesn’t match the jersey monogram. And with modern embroidery allowing us to accurately put the jersey logo on the cap, it would be stupid to do otherwise.

  • Tony A. | August 16, 2019 at 4:36 pm |

    As a Lions fan, Scott Mitchell’s personal logo makes perfect sense to me.
    The sideways S reminds me of him on the turf after a sack. :-D

  • Tim | August 16, 2019 at 4:57 pm |

    Get rid of your BFBS for the Oakland A’s and replace with the classic all yellows with green accents (basically the 1969 Uniform)

    Oh and go back to the White Hats with Green for the Coaches.

  • Jakob F. | August 16, 2019 at 5:10 pm |

    I love the idea of having the Angels move away from the devil-ish red but I hate that there is the combination of LA and Anaheim. Although the Angels still somehow think that they are from Los Angeles (from their old PCL days) they ARE NOT. The road “Anaheim” jerseys are great and I do agree that there are too many “A” s on their uniforms but being the Anaheim Angels (which they should be) would do that. I also love the halo on top of the hat.

    With the Texas Rangers, I like the addition of the flag flowing and also the vest style jersey. If the players have to wear undershirts with them then I think one sleeve color should be chosen, maybe decide Red = home and Blue = away or vice-versa but decide and stick with it.

    I like the current white text with gold trim on the Kelly Green A’s uniforms and still prefer those to say “Oakland” – keep those as is but wear them on the road too. I would nix the BFBS A’s and reintroduce the gold with the A’s on the chest that were taken out this season. Love the kelly green change overall as well as the gold sanys, although it could clash with their white cleats.

    Other small notes, I would keep the S on some of the Mariners uniforms and am a big fan of the White Sox logo change as well as those socks. I am not sure if the Yankees would wear the navy jersey EVER unless the MLB made them, just like I would never see the Dodgers go with a royal blue unless the same thing. If the Yankees were to wear the navy, I would only expect that to be a few times on the road. Glad you kept the iconic pinstripes intact.

  • William | August 16, 2019 at 11:46 pm |

    Wow – that G I Joke shirt is jacked up. How could a soldier take that as anything but an insult? I don’t think you’re going to start a conversation, I’d say you’re going to get punched wearing that.

  • Eagle Gearz | August 17, 2019 at 7:47 am |

    Great Blog!

  • ocbee | August 17, 2019 at 1:34 pm |

    As long as Moreno owns the Angels, there is no chance that Anaheim will make an appearance on the uniform (unless it’s a one-time retro day thing). As the 1961-65 cap is the Angels one I wear the most (and the current one I rarely wear, as I’m not a fan of red caps—not a political thing, it predates MAGA caps), I would rather use that template (different lettering from the one used here) for the cap and uniform lettering, and use the interlocking LA as the team identifier on the road uniform.

    Other thoughts:

    Orioles—Keep the bird (either the cartoon version or the ornithologicaly correct version).

    Yankees—Add pinstripes to the road uniform—have thought that the road uniform (and yes, I know they haven’t changed in the last 90 years—it still looks like a 1980’s generic beer or the cover of PIL’s Album/Cassette/Compact Disc).

    A’s—No to the BFBS uniform. To be a bit radical, I’d use a blue color template as a nod to the team’s Philadelphia roots, and that can be used for Father’s Day, 4th of July, Let’s Sell Uniforms To Suckers To Support Fake Charities, etc.

  • Tony In Erie | August 17, 2019 at 11:14 pm |

    Bud, cool stuff. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the National League. I wonder if I know your grandparents! Pirates fan here, Erie is quite split these days on Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland.

Use a PEER When You Read Aloud

Most parents of preschoolers realize the value of reading aloud every day to your young child. Story time is a great way to connect with your child, to share exciting stories and pictures, and to increase your child’s understanding of the world.

The best story times are very interactive: You are talking about and reading the story, your child is talking, and there is conversation taking place between the two of you. Because of all the talking, this type of shared reading is often called dialogic reading.

Parents can use the PEER method to help them remember a few important ways to read in this interactive way:

P:  Prompt your child with a question about the story. Prompting your child focuses attention, engages the child in the story, and helps the child understand the book.

Point to something in the picture, for example, a balloon. “What is that?”

E:  Evaluate your child’s response.

“That’s right! That’s a balloon.”

E:  Expand on what your child said.

“That’s a big, red balloon! We saw one of those in the grocery store yesterday.”

R:  Repeat or revisit the prompt you started with, encouraging your child to use the new information you’ve provided.

“Can you say big, red balloon?” Each time the book is reread, the expanded vocabulary words are verbalized again.

Dialogic reading works. Children whose parents read in a dialogic way have better oral language skills, and are more likely to be exposed to new words.

Don’t feel obligated to use the PEER procedure on every page, with every book. Keep it fun! Use PEER when it fits and when your child is engaged with the story.

Hamburg – Gate to the World

With its flair and maritime charm, Hamburg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. The “Gateway to the World” – as the port city on the Elbe is often referred to – offers its visitors city life pure and simple, with unique experiences in shopping, culture as well as nature.

Grand shopping boulevards, elegant arcades, and some of Germany’s best hotels are to be found in Hamburg. This Hanseatic city boasts not only elegant residential areas and town houses on the Elbe River, but also luxury at its best: abundant nature and green areas, time to savour culinary delights, and a relaxed attitude to life. While elegant Hanseatic style doesn’t have to be expensive, it certainly exudes a unique identity – just like the residents of Hamburg.

When visiting this Hanseatic city you should not miss to discover the impressive harbor during a boat trip. Sightseeing boats launch from the Landungsbruecken and weave their way through huge container vessels, majestic steam-powered ocean liners and elegant yachts.   Or discover the  old town, where noble merchants once traded coffee, tea and spices. Today it’s an inviting scene of residences and grand corner buildings from the 17th to the 19th century, quaint restaurants and laid-back bars.

Another reminder of Hamburg’s heritage is the historical Speicherstadt, home to the world’s largest single complex of traditional brick warehouses, resting on thousands of oak supports and intersected by narrow waterways, the Fleets.

Michael’s recommendations

Hamburg is an amazing city and has lots to offer – but for some reason is not that well-known as Berlin or Munich. The entire city was dominated by the shipping industry due to its large harbor. While this is still an important industry for the region, the city has changed and offers a mixture of local culture with international influences.

I recommend to take a private sightseeing tour with us to get an overview.

Restaurant recommendations

Seven Seas

The 2 star gourmet restaurant Seven Seas is the heart of  culinary pleasures at the Süllberg.  This is where Karl Heinz Hauser and his excellent team celebrate the art of cooking on the highest level.

The Table

Kevin Fehlings, The Table, is a very modern restaurant serving classical dishes interpreted in a modern way, subtly nuanced by the influence of different countries and regions. Guests are being seated at one long gently curved table of dark cherry wood, offering both sociability as well as the possibility to be seated in smaller groups.

Recognized with two Michelin Stars and 19 Gault Millau Points,  Gourmet Restaurant Haerlin is by now widely recognized beyond the city of Hamburg. Executive Chef Christoph Rüffer and his team will make your palate sparkle with flavors as stunning as fireworks. Inspired compositions of various, intuitively contradictory aromas and the use of surprising textures make each of the seasonally-adapted menus unique and an exceptional culinary experience.

  1. Thanks! I get what you mean, but there's really no way to do this kind of mix without her voice sounding altered. Like, if I had just changed a couple notes here and there, that would be one thing and that could still sound totally natural. When Britney's voice is edited in postproduction, it's one thing to fix a few bum notes, but it's another to dramatically change everything. The thing is, Britney never sang the song like this, at all. Some of the timing is even different and had to be spliced up to work. I think the altered voice works for this mix anyways; it's supposed to be spacey.
  2. They were so much fun to play! They definitely played a big part in making me want to remix stuff myself.
  3. I tried using it on a windows 95/98 virtual PC and while the beatnik plug-in installed properly, the wayback archive simply doesn't have the emix files saved, likely because the website recognized the wayback archival software as not having the plug-in. One emix was still online a few years ago (not Britney), but it's been taken down since.
  4. Got you covered. http://traceadam.brushd.com/
  5. Mood Ring was the winner of the FB poll a few weeks back!
  6. It can now be downloaded here for a limited time.
  7. And the club mix: This one's 5bpm faster.
  8. YouTube pitched version: Original version: https://vid.me/tPkQ This gives it a dark, club vibe. Enjoy!
  9. Thanks! Not everyone is going to like every mix, and that's cool! I still appreciate all constructive comments. Some people like my Make Me remix, and some don't, and some like this remix and some don't. Thanks to everyone who listened! I'm working on an extended version for the clubs right now.
  10. I like it! But it doesn't look like a 90's christian album. It looks tropical. THIS looks likes a 90s christian album:
  11. Extended club mix coming soon! (idk why the youtube player is so huge)
  12. When the Britney Jean cover was first revealed, it was actually the deluxe cover. And then they changed it DRAMATICALLY from this... .... to this! and what a change that was!
  13. Aaand here's the new mix!
  14. Aww, I'm sorry it's causing you issues! I appreciate your interest in the mixes! Unfortunately LegitMix is one of the very few ways for remixers to sell these kinds of tracks legally. There's a new Make Me mix I've been working on that should be up there in a few days though. It's called Make Me (Trace Adam Extended Piano Vocal) I hope they make it easier to purchase these in the near future!

News for Week Ending 1/5/2009

C of E seeks accommodation on women bishops

The issues of ordaining women priests and consecrating women bishops are largely settled in The Episcopal Church, but the Church of England, which ordains women priests but has provided “flying bishops” to minister to those who cannot accept them, is now struggling with how to implement its decision to allow women bishops in the face of continued opposition. Proposed legislation, which would effectively perpetuate “flying bishop” (to be called “complementary bishops”) seems unlikely to satisfy either proponents or opponents of women bishops. Church Times summarized the proposal here. More detailed information can be found at Thinking Anglicans here and here.

California Supreme Court rules for Episcopal Church in property disputes

In a long-awaited opinion, the California Supreme Court ruled that the property of three breakaway parishes in the Diocese of Los Angeles belongs to the diocese and not to the congregations of the churches, which claim to be under Ugandan jurisdiction. The court handed down its unanimous opinion on January 5, 2009. The parishes involved in the litigation are St. James Church, Newport Beach, All Saints’ Church, Long Beach, and St. David’s Church, North Hollywood. Although the churches prevailed in the trial court, the decision was reversed on appeal. The Supreme Court decision upholds the appeals court decision. It is unclear whether the dissident congregations will continue their legal battle. Los Angeles bishop Jon Bruno described himself as “overjoyed” at the decision and spoke of possible reconciliation with the three congregations.

A number of news stories are available about the court decision, and more should follow soon. The Los Angeles Times story is here. Episcopal News Service has a story here, with links to statements by Bishop Bruno and Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori.

South Carolina church leaves without property

The Augusta Chronicle reported January 5, 2009, that the priest, staff, and congregation of St. John’s Episcopal Church of North Augusta, South Carolina, are leaving The Episcopal Church and joining the newly-formed Anglican Church in North America. According to the Chronicle, the 90-member congregation will abandon its current building to the Diocese of Upper South Carolina and begin worshiping in a converted warehouse.

The Western propaganda of homosexuality and cannibalism

The Western propaganda of homosexuality and cannibalism

September 07, 2019

by Ruslan Ostashko

Translated by Scott and captioned by Leo

The propaganda of perversions in the West has reached new heights. The British leading sports clubs promote the LGBT “values,” and their scientists drag cannibalism into the category of normal.

No matter how much effort is made by the “normal countries” to promote degeneration, it never seems to be enough for them. In the course of pushing the Western agenda all methods are good. For example, the use of well-known sports clubs.

Manchester City Football Club partnered with Puma in release of a special uniform in support of the LGBT community. The set is timed to coincide with the annual gay pride events that started in Manchester on August 23. Students from Manchester Metropolitan University – the fifth largest in the UK (per number of students), including the School of Arts, Theater School and school of Architecture, participated in the design of the uniform. The t-shirt is made in white with rainbow edging around the emblem of the “City”. The LGBT flag is featured on the back with the inscription “Proud”, highlighted in sky blue. Also the design of the football club t-shirt contains the inscription “Together We Stand”, and the logo of the organization “Football Against Homophobia.”

That is, the idols of British youth, by taking to the field in this uniform, will take part in promoting the thesis that being a pervert is normal. Characteristically, the named club is owned by sheikhs from the United Arab Emirates. It would seem that homosexuality and the Islamic worldview are incompatible. But come to think of it, there was no objection from Manchester City club owners to LGBT uniforms. Apparently they decided that a PR for the club is acceptable, since it promises an increase in profits.

“In the online store of the club this uniform can be purchased for $30 (basic kits cost $235). ‘This is an ideal way for citizens to express support for everything related to the LGBT community and, of course, to demonstrate love for the team,’ the product description says.”

However, if we speak about perversions, the West promotes much more wild things.

In recent years, the Western info-field has increasingly started to generate ‘authoritative’ statements that, perhaps, ‘it’s time to reconsider the outdated taboo on human cannibalism,’ and that ‘ethical cannibalism can not be excluded from the public debate.’”

Last year, the University of Warwick hosted a curious conference called “BITES HERE AND THERE”: LITERAL AND METAPHORICAL CANNIBALISM ACROSS DISCIPLINES,” where serious topics such as “Cannibalism and anthropocentrism: getting to know the other as meat” were discussed. “Identification of the noble and baser cannibalistic motif: typology of risk and necessary,” “Ethical approach to eating: justification of cannibalism in modern literature” and “a kiss as beginning of cannibalism.”

If you think it’s obvious madness – a single madness of a senile individual, it’s not.

The other day, scientists-psychologists from the British Lancaster University turned the volume up by publishing the results of the study, where the subjects were asked to assess the situation where their friend gave them permission to eat his flesh after his death, and the risks of diseases were excluded. In doing so, they were given a context in which eating the corpse of the deceased is an act of respect and memory. The authors of the study regret to state that, despite all the explanations and logical calculations, people overwhelmingly consider even ‘ethical cannibalism’ disgusting and absolutely unacceptable. However, scientists express the hope that we will still ‘be able to adapt to eating human meat if the need arises.’”

Cannibalism is common in the animal kingdom – here’s why for humans it’s the ultimate taboo

Note: this fits perfectly into the fashionable Western talk about the need to reduce the population of the planet. The same US is trying its best, constantly killing residents of Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries with drones as part of the hypocritical “fight against terrorism.” American drones constantly miss for years, killing civilians instead of extremists.

[Not in the video.]

An instructive account of how many civilians, including children, must be killed to eliminate a terrorist with “precision weapons”.

They were aiming for 41, but killed 1,147.

A new analysis of data from a human rights agency (in the United States), which was shared with the Guardian newspaper, raises questions about the accuracy of “point strikes” drones.

On January 13, 2006, drones came for Ayman Zawahiri, allegedly hiding in Damadola village in Pakistan. 10 months later they were bombing Bajaur. 8 years later, Zawahiri is still alive. 76 children and 29 adults were killed after 2 strikes.

Many Americans have never heard about Zawahiri, even less they heard about Qari Hussain. He was the head of the Pakistani Taliban, a group believed by the US to be linked to al-Qaeda, and prepared Times Square bomber, Faisal Shahzad for his failed attack in 2010. The drones came for Hussain years before.

First, 29 Jan 2008, then 23 June 2009, 15 Jan. 2010, 2 Oct. 2010, and Oct. 7 2010.

Finally, on 15 October a Hellfire rocket killed Hussein, that the Taliban later confirmed.

To kill a man whom almost no American couldn’t name, the United States killed 128 people, including 13 children.

A new analysis by the Agency shows that even when an operator targets a particular person, they kill significantly more people. Attempts to kill 47 people resulted in 1,147 deaths on 24 November 2014.

The analysis is an estimate of the damage done by Obama’s favorite weapon, called “the most accurate.”

Drone strikes were sold to the American public as “accurate.” But they’re just as “accurate” as the intelligence that feeds us. There’s nothing “accurate” about killing 28 unidentified people, including children, for every person the U.S. hunts.

24 people in Pakistan have been hunted, it resulted in the death of 874 people. All were announced to the press as “killed “ many times, suggesting multiple strikes anywhere. An estimated 142 children were killed in the hunt for 24 people, and only 6 of those 24 were actually killed in drone attacks.

Under the pretense to target some 41 terrorists, the US killed 1,147 random people. They say it was “accidental.”

[Back to the video.]

But this rate of reducing the population is not enough for them. If they succeed in brainwashing the population that devouring neighbors is normal, then the struggle to reduce the number of people will go to a whole new level.

Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? But you’ve seen links to research sites about cannibalism. The Overton window is already open and stinks of cooked human flesh. And don’t say it’s impossible. Who in their right mind in Britain could say out loud in the middle of the past century that after 70 years, Manchester City players will play in t-shirts propagandizing sexual perversions?

And they’re willing to wear these t-shirts for money. And their Muslim sponsors are willing to turn a blind eye. From this perspective, the idea of legalizing cannibalism in the West does not seem so impossible, does it?

The propaganda of perversions in the West has reached new heights. The British leading sports clubs promote the LGBT “values,” and their scientists drag cannibalism into the category of normal.

Cans of Fire

Empty glass bottles in front of a broken window

Photo by James Sutton on Unsplash

by Kourtney Johnson —

Mom handed you your first beer at the lake, the idea of a ten-year-old taking a swig of Bud Light tickling her funny bones. To see everyone in the family getting along was a rarity, but the smell of the red clay and pine trees lightened everyone’s spirits. You excitedly drank, finally a part of a ritual you had long observed. After this, you expected laughter and food and fun, as there always was when your mom and stepfather drank from the blue aluminum cans. Maybe there’d be a fire pit. Mom always told you to stay back, but you never listened. You loved throwing in things that didn’t belong: cigarette butts, bottle caps, dead snakes. Everything had a certain crackle to it. You retched as the liquid hit your taste buds, bitterness and anguish flooding your mouth. Despite the disgust, you swallowed, prepared to prove your worthiness. Your parents clapped, congratulating you on your first drink. But quickly, their attention shifted away, back to each other, back to their drinks. They continued to sip on the cans of fire as you contemplated how they pretended to enjoy the taste.

     By fifteen, you were over the drinking. You’d done it. You’d seen it. You’d cleaned up after it. That Saturday night had already been long and it was only ten PM. Mom had retired to her bedroom hours ago, head spinning from the Crown, leaving you to deal with her husband, unconscious in a pool of Jager-tinted vomit. He’d fallen asleep in the doorway, his upper half on the white carpet of the living room and his lower half outside on the cold pavement of the back porch. The chilly night air seeped into the house and the rope lights twinkled yellow above him. He might’ve been there all night if you hadn’t ventured out for some late-night Oreos. You hadn’t been asleep. When they got like this, your parents slurred your name and begged you to make them another drink, but you retreated into your room. You pulled his legs inside, never once stirring the man from his drunken slumber. The house was silent, save for the ice crashing into the freezer’s tray. Stepping around the man on the floor, you walked into the cool night air. The backyard was calm and the rabbits under the deck settled in for the night. You absorbed the stillness, taking a deep breath before walking back into the house. You locked the back door, set the alarm, and left the vomit. You never wanted to be that drunk. You made that promise to yourself.

     You thought of yourself as an alcohol connoisseur by the time you started college. Sipping whiskey and shot-gunning beers came naturally at eighteen, the taste of alcohol familiar on your tongue. Your parents had unknowingly prepared you for the constant tapped keg of college life. Your roommate was different. You went to one party together during your first year of school, her first alcohol-fueled get-together. The ground, damp from yesterday’s rain, gave a little below your boots. ‘Handles & Flannels’ seemed like a tacky theme, but it gave you a reason to wear the purple button-up buried in your closet. The barn was outfitted with twinkling Christmas lights, a haphazard DJ booth, and a black trash can filled to the brim with cherry red Jungle Punch. Frat parties made you nervous. You much preferred a Crown and Coke in your bathtub to the strange, sweating bodies surrounding you. Zoey stayed close to you all night as you navigated through the pulsing crowd to the liquor table. She poured herself twice as much as you did for yourself. She may have been new to this, but she sure didn’t drink like it. You had fifty pounds on her easy, not to mention the years of experience. An hour and a half later, you carried her out, her drunken tears warm on your shoulder, your own buzz long gone. After shutting her in the back seat of the Dually, you leaned against the grey truck door, some rap song thumping in the barn behind you. You shook your head. Some people really couldn’t control themselves.

     The oak table feels good, the wood cooling your blazing forehead. Today is Tuesday. It doesn’t matter. You can legally drink now, whenever you please. The bottle in front of you has enough for one more glass. Since you’ve switched to reds, you drink slower, but the lack of sweetness leaves your belly ready for more. The wine is still cheap though. Drinking a bottle a night requires smart budgeting. The room blurs when you stand to make your way to the sofa, and the dog runs under your foot. You fall against the wall, praying your boyfriend in the other room doesn’t hear the tell-tale clunk of a drunk. The leather couch feels good. Cold. You Google:

Is it normal to drink a bottle of wine a night?

How much to spend on alcohol a week?

Signs you’re an alcoholic

     Your mother calls. I’ve been drinking, she says. Sorry for the slurring, she says. You reassure her it’s okay. You have too. You ask your boyfriend too many questions. You always do when you’ve been drinking. He never drinks with you. Just don’t enjoy the taste, he says, and it truly baffles you. However, you’re okay with his lack of indulgence. He keeps you safe. Your personal designated driver. But you’ve heard that only alcoholics drink alone. It’s only 8:30 when you fall asleep on the couch, an empty bottle of wine on the end table, your work for tomorrow unfinished. You don’t worry. Your parents drink more than you do and they’re just fine. Tomorrow, you’ll buy a new bottle.

Effect of vagotomy in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

Charles T. Richardson, Mark Feldman, Robert N. McClelland, Richard M. Dickerman, Dean Kumpuris, John S. Fordtran

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

47 Scopus citations

We evaluated the effect of vagotomy on gastric acid secretion and the clinical course in 3 patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Basal acid hypersecretion was reduced by 49, 86, and 96%, and peak acid output in response to pentagastrin was reduced by 36, 39, and 71% in the 3 patients. In one patient, 300 mg cimetidine reduced basal acid secretion from 65 to 20 meq/hr before vagotomy; whereas after vagotomy basal acid secretion was reduced from 36 to 0.6 meq/hr by the same dose of cimetidine. One patient has required no antisecretory therapy for 14 yr, whereas 2 patients have also been treated with cimetidine with excellent results. We conclude that vagotomy facilitates control of acid secretion in Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and we recommend vagotomy and cimetidine rather than total gastrectomy or cimetidine alone for the management of these patients. This combined surgical and medical approach should also allow discovery and removal of isolated tumors in about 10% of patients.

Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy

Luci Attala is a Senior Lecturer in Anthropology and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Luci champions experiential and active learning as the route to empowering graduates to be able to seek solutions to today’s global problems.

Recently charged with redesigning the delivery methods for all disciplines on the Faculty of Humanities, Luci has created a system that aims to draw students’ potential out experientially whilst furnishing them with a broad set of skills that are designed to increase their confidence to act.

Learning with (not about) the world is at the root of anthropology. Taking inspiration from participant observation and ethnographic methodology, Luci maintains that allowing her students to lead her as much as the other way around liberates novel and astonishing conclusions, associations and learnings for all.

Luci sits on Oxford University’s Educere Network. Comprised of anthropologists and policy makers, the network aims to synergise the fields of education, wellbeing and sustainability through exploration of alternative methods of learning alongside indigenous pedagogies. In 2015 she received the Green Gown Award for her inspirational contribution to sustainable education.

Luci's research interests are underpinned by a focus on materialities with specific attention afforded to water. Luci is currently exploring the role water plays in shaping lives in rural Kenya, Spain and Wales, but also considers water’s part in organizing human bodies and social behaviors more widely. Taking inspiration from post-humanism, the morethanhuman move and multispecies ethnographies, her work asks the question ‘how does water make us human’ and adopts a new materialities framework - that draws the physics of relating substances to the foreground - to obtain an answer.

Luci co-edits the #LampeterMatters book series with Louise Steel. The series adopts a New Materialities approach that explores the role materials play in shaping human lives.

I have conducted regular ethnographic fieldwork with the Giriama in Bore Koromi near Malindi in the Coastal Province of Kenya since 2010. My research primarily concerns water acquisition in rural east Kenya where semi-peripatetic horticulturalists are negotiating and adapting to deepening drought as a result of climate change. It specifically attends to the socio-economic consequences of the commodification of water for people who have traditionally relied on rainfall that comes without a pecuniary cost. Consequently, it engages with wider debates that circulate sustainability, development, social justice, environment and water – including: meanings and materiality.

Luci’s work in Kenya is supported by the Wenner Gren Foundation and was recognized in 2014 by the United Nations with the receipt of a Gold Star Award.

My work in Kenya has been recognized by the United Nations twice. Initially in 2013 it was highly commended and then, in 2014, The Community Carbon Link project I work on received a UN Gold Star Award because of the contribution made towards realizing the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. Keen on ensuring that my relationship with the community is reciprocal, I am currently in the process of constructing a Forest Research Centre in Kenya in partnership with a local group called the Bore Green Umbrella.

The aim is to establish a base for students and researchers to learn about sustainability on the front line of climate change, and thereby generate an alternative income to the unsustainable charcoal production that the local population now relies on.

Having originally trained as a nurse, Luci uses her expertise in both anthropology and health/social care to teach in the School of Health and Social Care for the Open University. There she is responsible for a selection of modules that concern themselves with how both health and care are conceived of as well as how they are best achieved.
