The management of Detriot Tigers has finally released the long-awaited project.
The Detroit Tigers, who lost a three-game series to the New York Yankees, have dropped to fourth place in the American League Central heading into tonight’s pivotal series against the Cleveland Guardians.
Thus, the eagerly anticipated release of their City Connect uniforms might offer just the right amount of motivation. The designer appears to have been entrusted with asking, “What if the Detroit Lions but baseball?” as the team finally gave the public a chance to view them this morning.
Rapper on the side and official sports ambassador for Motor City Eminem has given his approval, and he’s not wrong—these new outfits are really popular.
The Tigers will wear the City Connects this weekend with the Houston Astros in town.
According to the Detroit News, here are all the details one might ever want to know:
The team colors are blue, and the words “MOTOR CITY” are written in all caps across the front of the jerseys. There are tire tracks all the way down the front of the jersey in what the ballclub calls electric blue. The sleeves and the entire length of the pants are adorned with electric-blue racing stripes. A tribute to the iconic Woodward Avenue street sign, featuring a diamond with a No. 1 in the center, can be found on one of the sleeves. A 3-1-3 is created with the 3’s on either side of the No. 1 in a reflecting, silvery tone. There’s a tiny Olde Woodward Avenue diamond
The batting helmets and caps are both navy blue, with the word “DETROIT” written in all caps across the front and the VIN number on the side. In honor of the team’s 1901 inception and its four world victories (1935, 1945, 1968, and 1984), the VIN is 190135456884. The jersey’s back collar also bears the VIN number.
They got it almost perfect. The working-class costume should be elevated to new heights by having players carry about a grease rag in their back pocket, if Major League Baseball regulations permit.
