Hard to pick out the bigger story: Jayson Werth hitting a home run - with runners on base no less - or the Wizards changing their jerseys to look more like the old Bullets ones.
Werth was joined by Laynce Nix in hitting a three-run homer in last night's 7-6 win over the Braves in Atlanta. The two three-run blasts helped Jason Marquis win his 100th career game.
It may have also marked the first time that two players whose first names both include useless Ys have homered in the same game.
As for the new Wizards unis, I'm not crazy about them. On the plus the side, I like the new lower case font and that they kept a DC logo. The one homage to Bullets that I do like is the hand reaching for or shooting the ball at the top of the lower case 'd.' I also like the basketball logo with the Washington Monument in it.
Now I like the red, white and blue. For instance, it looks awesome on a flag, particularly a waving flag with stars and stripes.
But it looks cheesy on the old Bullets uni, and still looks cheesy now. I think the main reason it looks so bad is the way the horizontal stripes dominate the top of the jersey. It just looks bad, especially when it's worn by a player.
