"If only the Astros had tried that!" Indeed. "Notice how the uniforms form a rainbow when they're lined up," adds Glenn Tanner. "Doesn't get any cooler than those uniforms with the team name broken up across all the jerseys," says Pat Jordan, and it's hard to argue with that. Uni Watch was pleasantly surprised to see this underrated tale of an all-black barnstorming team draw so much support.
