I'm with Eugene on this. BFBS looked awful then and it looks awful now. Regardless of all the marketing mumble-jumble, these are no different than all the Mother's day, Fourth of July, Veteran's Day, and G.I. Joe tripe they trot out each year - to sell merchandise. Because they know that there are plenty of suckers willing to spend $200 for a polyester shirt imported from a third-world country.
I guess in that sense the red and black is appropriate as it well represents the blood and toil MLB is exploiting for low wages.

I don't think black and red look bad, it's a great color combination in my opinion. Black is a good accent color. Especially with the pinstripes on that jersey, I think the jerseys they wore in the late 90s to early 2000s look good. But historically, Cincinnati has worn red with blue but I think that was in the 1920s-1930's...
