I'd be curious to see how much this plays into it if it does at all.

I was referring to the complaints about "bling", I should have made that more clear. Don't mind alternate jerseys, although I have gotten exceedingly tired of camo jerseys and hats. I especially like it when there is a link to local history, like Negro League unis, or one representing a now-defunct team.
Big agreement with whoever complained about lettering/numbers the same color as the jersey. REALLY hate that.
