But the issue here is not whether red and black look good together, its just that they have no historical roots in the Reds' vestiary. The Reds briefly wore black in the late 90s because of a fad and they were late to the party on that one.
The Pirates and Orioles look great with black as one of their main colors. Well, its been a part of their long uniform history so that's appropriate.
Not so with the Reds. Coupled with the fact that these foreign-made shirts and hats are supposed to celebrate an American city is both ironic and sad.
