First insert for the Pennant set his year once again is the Throwbacks set, featuring players wearing, you guessed it, throwback uniforms. I had a hard time tracking down a lot of instances of teams wearing old-time uniforms in 2023. I blame the whole City Connect thing for that. The only ones I could track down were the Diamondbacks, Marlins and Rays. Expansion-palooza, minus the Rockies who have yet to really change their look since their conception.

The design has the same black-and-white cutout over gradient motif as the base set, though I tweaked the colors to match the team colors of the respective uniforms. The large ‘THROW BACKS’ type looks kinda like an old boxing flyer or something like that from the past.

There’s also a relic version with a swatch from the actual uniforms depicted in the photo. This one has a teal pinstripe, which looks pretty cool. The autograph version has the gradient and photo fading out to white at the bottom to leave room for a legible signature. I don’t think I had seen Arozarena’s sig before but it’s pretty cute, lol.
