Yeah, that's pretty neat photoshopping for 1983. Was Photoshop even around in 1983? PC's hadn't yet reached mass consumption, or anything remotely close, in 1983. They were still in the early adopter stage in '83. But Topps left the stadium untouched. What it did, I think, was only to transform Valentine's Mets uni into an Angels uni. I don't think Topps ever messed with the stadiums. Like on this 1973 card of Bobby Valentine, just below Ellis's: The card is represented as an Angels card. But the photo is from Bobby's Dodger stint. The photo depicts an action shot at Dodgers Stadium. Again, Topps "fixed" the uniform, removing the Dodgers chest wordmark and adding Angels racing stripes to the uni. No need to mess with the hat because the front LA logo isn't visible.

Agreed. I hate those unis. They're from when Disney owned the Angels for about five or six years. They did win their only WS, though, under Disney.

It is accurate to say that Topps airbrushed the cards rather than photoshopped. It's kind of like watching an old movie with my kids and they say "That's such bad CGI!" and I have to say "No. CGI hadn't been invented yet. That's bad chroma key."

Could be. Hey! There's another thread if someone wants to start it: ugliest baseball uniforms ever.

Jack Fisher looked at Ellis Valentine's card and wondered where he could get a Mets —> Angels makeover even half as sweet as Ellis'.

What's your favorite Angels look?

There's an old dude down the first base line rocking one of the early Angels' halo hats. I want to hate on this, because it clearly didn't work, but I like that they embroidered it in there, rather than printing it or something, and that they went for something outside-the-box but on brand.

My favorite Angels look? The unis the Angels wore in 1969 and 1970, that were pretty much, exact copies of the Mets contemporary home and road uniforms, but without any logos or wordmarks.
