Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys
The Diamondbacks announced in early September that their uniforms, which remained largely unchanged since the team’s first season, would be completely redesigned for the 2007 season.
Details were supposed to be kept secret until after the 2006 postseason as per MLB rules, but the Diamondback page from the 2007 MLB Official Style Guide was somehow leaked around September 25, and local media broadcast and printed the new design for all to see.
While some fans have applauded the redesign, it is worth noting that some of the reaction to the new color scheme, which includes dropping the historical purple and traditional Arizonan colors of copper and turquoise for a reddish color known as “Sedona Red”, has been pointedly negative.
The official unveiling of the uniforms came at a charity event on November 8th in nearby Scottsdale, where several of the players modeled the uniforms on a runway, and posed for publicity photos.
