Bring Them Back! It's time to un-retire the original Rays jersey

On November 3rd, 1995, the newly formed Tampa Bay Devil Rays held a special fashion show at the Florida Aquarium where they proudly displayed their official team uniforms for the 1998 regular season.

However, if memory serves, once the uniforms were revealed, they were heavily disliked as the community hated the name as well as the mixture of colors that made the logos a mess.

The jerseys are so heavily hated that instead of the Rays using them for their retro games, they continue to use fictional throwbacks or even minor league teams from decades past that have no affiliation with the team for Turn Back The Clock events, even on road games.
