For the first time in 80 years, the Cardinals will have a jersey that features the name of the city and not the ballclub. At a news conference this morning at Busch Stadium, the club will unveil a series of incremental changes to the home and road uniforms, and ownership will introduce a third jersey, to be worn for Saturday home games. The Cardinals are the 27th team in baseball to use an alternate jersey, leaving only the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Detroit Tigers as the classic two-jersey teams.
“Yes, it’s traditional. And if you ask me should we stay in that elite company of having home whites and road grays, I would say we should, but … ” President Bill DeWitt III said. “Look at this (third) jersey. I see it and think, ‘We’ve got to wear that thing.’ ”
I like it.

I like them. Same feel as our current jersey and very classic looking.
I don't like the idea though of wearing our red caps on the road.
While I think everyone loves the red caps I've always liked the navy

How do you guys feel about them getting rid of the navy road cap? I've always liked it. Gonna have to go pick one up from Lids at the mall before they run out.

Don't worry they aren't completely gone. There are quite a few scenarios we will still wear them. Originally Posted by NYKnicksAllDay

They won't be as frequent but I have a feeling we will see them at least 45 games this year

I'm with you Skippy. I wear my navy hat much more often that I wear the red one.

Yeah I love our navy caps. I really would prefer us to wear them on the road over the red. I love the red hat more but doesn't that red had just have the at home feeling? It kinda goes against how we wear the clean white color with the red hat and then on the road wear the darker colors
