Cincinnati Reds Jerseys
The Reds revealed their new uniforms in December. The home caps will return to all-red with a white wishbone C, lightly outlined in black.
The caps with red crowns and black bill will be used on the road. Additionally, the sleeveless jerseys will be abandoned for more traditional shirts.
The numbers and the lettering for the names on the backs of the jerseys will be changed to an early-1900s style typeface.
It had been rumoured that navy blue was to make a return as a trim color, but that has been denied. The alternate club logo and jersey emblem will be the moustachioed Mr. Red from 1956.
