So, any thoughts on Brian Wilson's new cleats?
Do you agree/disagree with the Marlin's manager that they are distracting?

I don't know where you draw the line on some things..for me - no.
if they were "metallic' and reflected light, maybe an issue.
The kids will be all over these. Good thing we are set for cleats.

My son's high school team wore RED cleats in high school but since the whole team was wearing them it was not really a fashion statement but more of a uniform look. His college team wears white cleats when they wear their white pants and it is a good look ...
Story is he was fined 1000K for wearing non conforming shoes, in other words, he has to look pretty much like the rest of the team in uniform.
That would mean at least half the color of the other players shoes, so he markered in one half of each shoe black. He should have known better and also his managers. These guys just try to push the envelope a bit more than most.
I think that the Marlin's manager was just making a point, but maybe didn't come off saying it the right way.

update, guess he broke more than just a fashion rule...
Wilson Fined $1,000
Sounds like he colored them half black with a sharpie AFTER he was fined for the solid orange, wonder when the half black "Nike Air Sharpies" will debut.

Well $1,000 is better than the $1,000k that was originally reported by Yahoo Sports.
Still silly....
Typical Brian Wilson--he has not changed since he was with us as a soph/jr in HS--my wife sent me the article this afternoon with a note that "he has not changed"
i wouldn't be surprised to see the whole team wearing creamsickle shoes. i see a new market, the fine will only help.
I thought Hanley Ramirez pulled off the solid teal cleats during the all-star game good, but I don't know about the solid orange...

Brian Wilson debuted his "Nike Air Sharpies" last night.....
turns out the half orange/half black cleats weren't so lucky for him.
