The red-hot Colorado Rockies looked like the Backstreet Boys on the tarmac as they boarded their jet to Miami on Wednesday. Winners of eight of their last 10 games, the Rockies decided to dress in all-white following their two-game sweep of the New York Yankees.
The flight to Miami is a whiteout. What a good looking group!

Tell me why.
Why? It was Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez’s idea.
“No, it’s not Miami Vice. I just look good in white,” Gonzalez said. “Then you just got to put on a pair of shades to complete it and you’re good to go.”
What do you think, ? 🤔

Everyone eventually bought in to the all-white look. And a few players even got points for creativity. Outfielder Charlie Blackmon wore overalls, catcher Tony Wolters went with the onesie and utility infielder Daniel Descalso wore light-up shoes.

I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
But, not everyone was happy about it.
“No, I’m not,” Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado said when asked if he was looking forward to wearing all-white for the trip. “I was complaining the first time I heard it from CarGo. I was complaining the whole day and finally I just stopped complaining. I just want to wear my regular clothes, man. I just want to wear my jeans and a shirt.”
can't wait for the new album to drop
