The Bookshelf Conversation: Todd Radom

And how we love to hate some of those shirts (and pants).

Todd Radom, a graphic designer specializing in branding for professional sports franchises, has compiled an entertaining collection and deconstruction of some of the greatest, worst, and most unusual baseball attire in his recent release, Winning Ugly: A Visual History of the Most Bizarre Baseball Uniforms Ever Worn.

For me, Radom’s book brought back a wave of nostalgia, both fun and outraged. Have to admit I’m old-school. I want my unis to have knickers, not pajamas. Like Ma Gehrig said in The Pride of the Yankees, baseball players should be “loafers in short pants.”short pants.

By the way, as one might expect, the author has a killer website, full of his work and other fun items, including links to a number of podcasts on which he has appeared.

I had the opportunity to speak with Radom recently about his project. Maybe he’ll add this Bookshelf Converesation to that list.
