 Orioles owner Peter Angelos wants to put his mark on the team -- not by firing the manager or by signing another five free agents -- but by changing the uniforms.

Angelos and Orioles vice chairman Joseph Foss have been looking at several new uniform, logo and cap designs for the 1995 season.

The deadline for submitting such changes was last Friday, but Angelos said, "I was told there is still time to work on a revision."

The Orioles are said to be discussing a variation of the 1966 uniform, which had caps with a cartoon-type bird and pants with belt loops.

"A number of cartoon-type birds have been discussed for the hat," Angelos said.

However, Angelos said he was leaning toward keeping the cap with the ornithologically correct bird.

Final decisions about the specific changes will be made next week, and the new styles will be unveiled in late fall, Foss said.

"We may do uniforms, we may do hats, we may do logos," Foss said. "It's kind of a first opportunity that the new management and ownership have to make a change."
