Lookouts' jerseys have an L.A. look

ZEBULON — The Chattanooga Lookouts, in town to play the Carolina Mudcats, have taken the look of their new major league affiliate, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Gone are the red and black uniforms they had under the days of the Cincinnati Reds, their former affiliate, who are now with the Mudcats.

The Mudcats' red, black and white unis suited the Reds just fine.

But the Lookouts' classic uniforms, which prominently featured the trademark logo, with eyes inside a 'C', had to go.

Sure, the logo has wound up on the left arm sleeve, but the Lookouts' right arm sleeves are decorated with the Dodgers' trademark "LA" logo, and the rest of the uniform is in the spirt of the Dodgers unis.

I understand them changing the colors to Dodgers blue. But burying the Lookouts' trademark logo is a mistake, especially for a team with a long history in the Tennessee mountains.
