The Baltimore Orioles have always been one of my favorite baseball teams (in terms of footwear, not talent).  They are one of two teams in the league (the other being the A’s) that has traditionally worn a team accent color in their cleats, which not only makes them really look like a team, but it makes it seem like everyone is wearing a PE.

Of course, most of the models you see them wearing aren’t player exclusives… Ramon Hernandez and Nick Markakis have both worn the black / orange Under Armour Raptor, Kevin Millar and Melvin Mora have both worn what will likely be a GR black / orange colorway of the upcoming Under Armour Ignite, and a bunch of guys have worn GR 2K4’s, 2K5’s, Clippers, Reebok Wheels, adidas Diamond Kings, and so on.  Even this early Adam Jones model is an MCS version of Nike’s standard black / orange 5-Tool (it isn’t offered at retail, but here’s the catalog pic).  So, to the best of my knowledge, here are the only 2008 Baltimore Orioles PE’s:

All of these renderings can also be seen in the PE Gallery.  The bottom two Fuse models are Adam Jones’ home and away pairs… since you can make those on NikeID, I won’t waste any time writing about them.  However, the other six pairs are definitely worth talking about, and they all belong to Brian Roberts.  That’s right… six.
