Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - Panini duplicates Blue Wave??

I don't know...

I really would not have thought "duplicating blue wave' with these...

I like them, but yeah that looks like a copy.

But in the end, "chrome" cards were around before topps, so topps copied them.

"Seattle Baseball Club"

...then why did they make it look more like a White Sox jersey? it should have been a blue home jersey if they wanted it to look like Mariners. Plus the pic looks like Griffey when he was a bit older too.

NT shows how you can make cool cards without licensing but the jersey color and the bottom title doesn't work here. Perhaps just "Seattle Washington" and let fans infer... what would happen for a 2 team city? "New York Baseball Club. . . AL" (are they even allowed to say AL?)

He is wearing #24 in the picture.. he wore #17 when he was with the White Sox.. The jersey is road jersey (grey) and he was a bit older when he played with the M's when he retired..

Dude, it clearly states that he is a member of the Seattle Baseball Club in the picture...

Chris & bg can say for sure, but I think theres a legal reason they have to "play" with a jersey's color.

I can't say for sure but I don't think panini can show a yankee wearing pinstripes because they don't have the mlb license. If I'm wrong please correct me.

this would be the best color if legally allowed.

Nope.. You can use colors.. Only reason not to is fear..

Fear of mlb suing panini I assume.

Yes, but they would be within their rights and safe

Don't complain about companies creating similar cards, there's only so many materials out there available for these processes.

If you want more options send complaints to companies like Hazen that manufacture the base products that cards are created on.
