Dodgers Web musings: It’s a throwback to an alternate universe of Brooklyn Dodgers uniforms in new promotion (plus half-priced beer!)

And now for a throwback to those thrilling days of yesteryear, at least the kind that went on back in Brooklyn. At least, that’s what they’re telling us.

The Dodgers announced Friday they will wear throwback uniforms for six midweek day games this season -- in conjunction with half-priced food and drink.

Including beer.

Take that, Arte Moreno.

The Dodgers are asking fans to vote for their favorite throwback road uniform. Only forget recognizing any of the bizarre choices.

The oldest dates back 100 years and features -- ugh -- pinstripes. The second curious selection is from 1931, their only jersey to feature a block-shaped letter B on the front. Continuing with the odd choices is a 1940s-era uniform with satin blue material, the team thinking it would reflect the lights. It’s all shiny and everything.

Fans can vote from Feb. 7-17 at dodgers.com/throwback.
