Arizona Diamondbacks Introduce New Skin

By: Francisco Romero

The Arizona Diamondbacks presented the uniforms the team will be wearing in 2016.

Innovative they are; the team’s attire will include eight distinct uniform options and include the reintroduction of one of the franchise’s popular original colors, teal, as well as a bold gray color for the team’s road uniforms.

New to Major League Baseball uniforms, they will include patterns along the shoulders, back, sleeve and pant leg in reference to their name, looking like snake skin.

The overall look is very modern, similar to what has been seen in college football and basketball in the last few years.

“This is an extremely proud and exciting time for our franchise,” said D-backs President & CEO Derrick Hall. “The Arizona Diamondbacks have always been focused on innovation and it is time for us to take that step forward on behalf of Major League Baseball and continue the evolution of our uniforms. This process began over two years ago and has involved our players, coaches, fans, partners at MLB, Majestic, New Era, Nike and an extremely talented in-house design staff.”

The following are some of the uniforms unveiled Thursday night:
