  1. The Chicago Cubs also tried it for a year last season. They went back to the names though.  


  2. well the reason why i think they dont is to send a message to players and fans

    the message is the name on the front is more important than the name on the back.  so it takes like the ********* out (or at least tries to)  and that's what I think it is.  to say hey were a team and a name on the back only makes us separate so it also shows unity.

    hope this helps  

  3. the logo and the names are as big as the city

  4. Tradition of the franchise going back many years when no teams had names on their back.

  5. They do have their names on their road jerseys.

    To use the old cliche, they want the players to "play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back".

  6. AT one point there weren't any names on MLB uniforms, and whats funny is its basically a old tradition held on 2 by the American league.  The National League is seen as pure baseball cause they don't have the designated hitter and the general play is a little more conservative than the American..Financially it was more economical for teams just 2 have numbers on uniforms..For true fans the number is almost bigger than the name...the number can represent a legend....ie....3..the babe..72....Carlton Fisk  44.....Reggie Jackson....7...Mickey Mantle, these numbers are iconic and bring back alot of happy memories for baseball fans.  Most hall of fame members have their number retired by their team....

  7. Because so many people come and go through free-agent signings that they are trying to save money and re-issue the jerseys to the next multi-million dollar player they sign.

  8. Both away jerseys have names on the back
