Too Many Modifications

Am I missing something? How can anybody think this new Texas Rangers two-tone helmet looks good? I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during this conversation. Who do they think they are? This is baseball, America's favorite pastime, not a Kanye West concert with flashing lights and glow in the dark props everywhere. It's supposed to be about tradition and cracker jacks and peanuts - not who can have the flashiest (ugliest) looking helmet. Imagine what it will look like when they have the bases loaded - a bunch of shmucks running around in wannabe kanyeezy helmets. The fans won't know whether they're watching a baseball game or a parade of colors.

What's next? Maybe they change the color of the stitching on the baseballs to match with the current U.S. government's national threat level? Or better yet, maybe they don't turn the lights on for a night game and play with glow in the dark bats and balls? That would be cool.
