Anyone remember "Turn Ahead the Clock" ?

[Kingdom]

I.. don't remember it at all. And I'm glad, woowww.

In sports, there are moments when time stands still. And thanks to throwback uniforms, there are plenty of junctures where time appears to turn backward. But it's rare when time jumps ahead.

That photo, of course, is from MLB's now-infamous "Turn Ahead the Clock" promotion, which featured 20 big league teams dressed like total freakin' clowns wearing "futuristic" jerseys over the course of 14 games during the summer of 1999. The uniforms were roundly ridiculed at the time, have been ridiculed ever since, and will likely continue to be ridiculed long past the year 2021, which is the year they supposedly represented (a year chosen because the series was sponsored by Century 21, adding the stench of corporate advertising to an already noxious initiative).

I remember it, and I remember thinking it was dumb.

Nope, after reading this.... My initial reaction is:

Where's the barf smilie?

This got to be the most dumb thing ever in the history of MLB.

Sounds stupid to me

Griff with the backwards hat, didn't he always do that, so how is it futuristic?

And I too am glad that I don't remember that.

I would have flipped if the Mets consistently dressed in those hideous Mercury Mets Black Unis.

[Providence A's]

it sounds vaguely familiar...

[nyjunc]

Yes I remember it.

[Doppelgänger]

I remember having a Griffey baseball card that featured him in the futures uniform.

I burned it.
