Here is the history of the Mariners’ Uniforms …
#1.
1977 After a brief stint of Major League
baseball in Seattle with the Pilots in 1969, (at the end of the season they
would move to Milwaukee to become the Brewers) the city was awarded a new team
for the 1977 season. The Mariners joined the American League West division as
an expansion team and finished its inaugural season in sixth place out of seven
teams, with a 64-98 record.
The Mariners first road uniform was a light blue double-knit style that most
major league teams succumbed to during the 70’s and early 80’s. It was a
pullover style, made of stretchy, synthetic material. The pants were called
“Sans-a-Belt”’s because the elasticized waistline eliminated the need for a
belt. The trim around the collar, sleeves and belt were all gold, white and
dark blue.
#2.
1977 This home uniform for the Mariners
first season featured a trident that formed the “M” in Mariners across the
chest, while the uniform was a double-knit style that most major league teams
succumbed to during the 70’s and early 80’s. It was a pullover style, made of
stretchy, synthetic material. The pants were called “Sans-a-Belt”’s because the
elasticized waistline eliminated the need for a belt.
The Mariners began playing their
first season in the Kingdome, which was known as a hitter’s ballpark. They
would call the Kingdome home until 1999, when the Mariners moved across the
street to Safeco Field, which featured a retractable roof. In this first season
they were led at the plate by right fielder Leroy Stanton who hit .275 and led
the team with 27 home runs, while tying for the team lead with 90 RBI. They
would finish the season with a 64-98 record.
#3.
1980 The letters that make up “Seattle”
across the front of this road jersey have changed slightly since their
inaugural season. The patch on the left sleeve is a star with a new “M” trident
logo in it.
The Mariners struggles continued
as they finished in last place in the American League West division this
season, going 59-103. A bright spot for Seattle was the batting of first
baseman Bruce Bochte who led the team with a .300 average, while hitting 13
homers and driving in 78 RBI.
#4A.
1984 This road uniform has several
changes from the last one we have shown on the poster. Although the “Seattle”
across the chest has not changed, the numbers below it have, with a different
style. Also the piping around the sleeves has changed to gold and dark blue
stripes running from the collar down the sleeve. Around the collar there is now
just dark blue as opposed to gold, white and blue. Stripes have been added down
the pant leg, matching the stripes on the sleeves. Also, you’ll note that the
“Sans-a-Belt” has removed white from its colors and the buttons, or “snaps” are
off to the side as opposed to being in the center.
Although Seattle finished in sixth
place with a record of 74-88, the team has its first star emerge in first
baseman Alvin Davis. He led the team with 27 home runs and 116 RBI, while
hitting .284. Davis became the Mariners first American League rookie of the
year.
#4B.
1985 This home uniform shows all the
changes from the 1984 uniform with the exception of the stripes on the sleeve
and pant leg, as they are now blue, gold and blue.
The team once again finishes in
sixth place with a 74-88 season, although several players were standouts for
the Mariners. Alvin Davis continued to have a hot bat hitting .287 with 18
homers and 78 RBI. Outfielder Phil Bradley had a .300 batting average while
belting 26 home runs and driving in 88. Pitcher Mike Moore went 17 and 10 for
the season, leading the Seattle pitching staff.
#5.
1989 Thankfully the pullover jerseys are
gone! The Mariners made the switch to button down tops in ’97 and with it came
new script for both the writing and the numbers on the front. The trident is
gone and block letters that are blue with gold outlining make up the “Mariners”
on the chest. Simple blue piping goes around the collar and down the buttons.
Also a real belt has been added to the pants, where a thin blue stripe
lines the pant leg.
With a record of 73-89, this
season would mark the first year for a rookie centerfielder that would thrill
not only Mariners fans but all of baseball. Ken Griffey Jr. made an immediate
impact at the Kingdome, hitting a home run in his first home at bat on the
first pitch. The following season would mark the first time a father and son
would be teammates, as Ken Griffey Sr. joins the Mariners to play along side
his son.
#6.
1993 The Mariners have made yet another
change to their uniform as we see on this home jersey. The “MARINERS” script
across the chest has changed, while the color Northwest green has been added as
a border. Above the “M” is a nautical compass rose, with a baseball in the
center. The patch on the left sleeve is also the compass logo with “Seattle
Mariners” written in a circle around the outside of the patch.
This season would see the Mariners
pitching staff led the American League in strikeouts with 1083, while pitcher
Randy Johnson dominated batters, striking out a major league leading 308
hitters. Even under new manager Lou Piniella, the team finishes in 4th
place in the A.L. West with an 82 and 80 record.
#7.
1994 This jersey is what is referred to nowadays as a “3rd
jersey”. A 3rd jersey is a concept that became commonplace by the
mid 90’s. Most 3rd jerseys are worn occasionally at home as well as
on the road, giving a team a third option as to what uniform to wear. And of
course, the addition of a third jersey adds to the options fans can buy, thereby
increasing apparel revenues and ultimately benefiting the team. More recently,
teams have begun adding 4th and even 5th jerseys to their
roster of uniform possibilities. The style has remained the same as the
previous seasons, with the color being teal. The lettering across the chest is
white with blue outlines. The patch on the right sleeve is the Mariners team
patch, while the commemorative patch on the right sleeve is in honor of the 125th
year of professional baseball. The patch has the Major League Baseball logo and
“125th Anniversary” on it, and celebrates the Cincinnati Red
Stockings 1869 team that was the first openly professional team and went 65-0
in a nationwide barnstorming season.
In this, the year of professional
baseball’s 125th Anniversary, there would be no World Series for the
first time in 90 years, when a player lockout in August 1994 put an end to the
season. The Mariners were sitting in 3rd place in the AL West with a
49-63 record, only 2 games back of the Texas Rangers. Oh what might have been…
What a shame.
#8.
1998 Seattle has gone for the no sleeve,
or vest look that several teams used in the late 50’s and early 60’s and were
now adopting once again. Notice the “S” logo on the collar of the undershirt,
which began in the 90’s.
Despite finishing in 3rd
place in the AL West with a 76-85 record, several Mariner players have banner
seasons. Ken Griffey Jr. belts an American League leading 56 home runs, while
shortstop Alex Rodriguez hits 42 homers and snags 46 bases. These two led the
team to the AL lead in home runs with 234.
#9.
1999 This gray road uniform is similar to
the team’s jerseys from previous years, with a few subtle differences. This is
a sleeved jersey as opposed to vest style seen in the 1998 uniform we show on
the poster. Also the nautical compass has moved from the chest to a patch on
the left sleeve.
Once again the Mariners failed to
make the post season, finishing with a 79-83 record, after tasting it in both
’95 and ’97. This season would be the last one for Ken Griffey Jr. in a
Mariners uniform. He would lead the American League in home runs once again
with 48 and then become a free agent in the off-season. After 10 seasons in
Seattle, Griffey went back to his hometown of Cincinnati, to play for the Reds,
the team he watched his father play for while he was growing up.
In July of this season the team would move across the street to their new home
Safeco Field, a gorgeous new ballpark that features the old style feel on the
exterior, while having the modern comfort of a retractable roof to keep out the
Seattle rain. When closed, the roof sits above the field and seats like an
umbrella, letting fresh air breeze in from the sides, as well as giving fans a
view of Seattle’s downtown.
#10.
2000 Once again we show a 3rd jersey
for this year. The teal is gone and a darker blue has taken its place. The
“nautical compass rose” has made a reappearance on the chest as the “S” logo
that appeared on the players caps for several seasons.
With a record of 91-71, Seattle
found themselves back in the post season, behind their rookie of the year,
Japanese closer Kazuhiro Sasaki. They swept the White Sox in three straight
games and went on to face the dreaded Yankees. The Mariners would take two
games from the Yankees, but would lose the series 4-2 to the eventual World
Series champions.
#11.
2001 This road gray uniform has two
patches on either sleeve. The patch on the right sleeve commemorates the 100th
Anniversary of the American League. All AL teams wore this patch during the
season. On the left sleeve is the All-Star patch in honor of the team hosting
the All-Star game.
Seattle hosted the All-Star game
for the second time, (the first was in 1979). In a touching on field ceremony,
commissioner Bud Selig presents lifetime achievement awards to Cal Ripken Jr.
and Kirby Puckett, who would retire at season’s end. Ripken goes out on top
hitting a home run and winning the All-Star game MVP award.
The Mariners add yet another
outstanding Japanese rookie this season in outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. He makes
an immediate impact on the team and by seasons end is awarded the Rookie of the
Year award as well as the AL MVP award. The Mariners win an amazing 116 games
in the regular season, only losing 46, to tie the major league record with the
1906 Chicago Cubs who won 116 in a 152 game season. The Mariners broke the
Yankees 1998 record of 114 regular season wins. The Mariners play the Cleveland
Indians in the Divisional Series and take the full five games to end the
tribe’s season. In the AL Championship, the Mariners face their bitter rival
New York Yankees. The experience of the Yanks pays off yet again as they take
the pennant in 5 games.
