Get StartedI always wondered why they don't have that yet.If they could some how make him a designated fielder, that would be perfect.
I knew that 3 & 4 would lead in votes. Most baseball fans are older and like tradition. I know I do. That said, these uniforms aren't meant for old existing fans. They are meant for new, younger fans. They will be a hit with young casual fans, and a lot of young people that aren't a fan of the Tigers at all.WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.![]()

City Connect is a brand name of Nike. It is part of a contract Nike signed with MLB to produce “alternate uniforms.” A veiled attempt to try to attract more fans, especially the younger ones. Oh, and to create another revenue stream. Only the Yankees and Athletics have opted out from having these new uniforms.
It will be the first time the Tigers will not be wearing white at home.
These new togs are meant to be fun. To mix it up a little.
The Tigers’ new uniform is a mix of black and dark blue and showing no logos other than the Nike swoosh. The cap says “Detroit” and the jersey shows “Motor City.” The pattern on the jerseys is meant to imitate tire tracks. (Insert your Saturday morning cartoon memories here.)
What fans will not see is the “tiger eyes” picture under the bill of the cap and the numbers/codes showing the area code, year the team was founded and the years of World Series championships. That is, unless you buy a replica.
For a full viewing the new uniform, check this out:
