Team president and CEO Derrick Hall said the team was looking for a change. “We wanted a different look from the existing two shades of gray that have historically been used in baseball,” Hall said. “We also liked how the darker gray complemented our trim colors. We saw some success with this color in our 2015 branding campaign and were excited about a chance to incorporate it into our uniforms for 2016.”
The Diamondbacks are hoping to lead the way for new trends in baseball uniforms.
“We began this process more than 18 months ago and have involved our players significantly throughout, as well as some of our fans. We also relied heavily on input from MLB Authentic Collection licensees such as Majestic, Nike and New Era, but our team took the lead with strong support from the MLB design team,” Hall added.
