Two Brief Questions For Guys Who Obsess About Uniforms

(Inspired by the Phillies' broadcast crew today, who spent most of the eighth and ninth innings of a win over the Red Sox talking about jerseys.)

1) Isn't most of your existence just spent trying to get everyone to go for the uniform of your childhood?, and

2) At what point does your obsession with clothes make you start, well, wondering about your commitment to traditional gender roles?

I don't know about the uniform of anyone else's childhood, but I can say with all objectivity -- traditional gender roles be damned -- that the powder blue away unis that the Phillies wore in the late 70s and early 80s are the most gorgeous sports uniforms in the history of sports.
