Amidst the season of rumored trades and regrouping for the next season, the Arizona Diamondbacks brought a sweet little gift for their fans. Today, they unveiled four brand new uniform designs for the team. It seems like the defending National League title holders will have a new look to don for the next season!
The D-Backs had a great World Series season, although they didn’t win the title. They recently celebrated some well-deserved award wins by their players. Then, the news of the new jerseys sent the whole D-Backs universe into a frenzy. What do the new changes bring to the D-Backs club?

The “4 new unis for ’24” consists of an off-white home jersey, a gray road uniform, and alternate black and Sedona Red jerseys. The home uniform has undergone the most transformation. Before, it used to be pure white, with the D-Backs logo adorning the front. The new version comes in off-white, which, according to the team’s report, is much like their 1998 uniforms. Most of the uniforms are heavily accentuated with teal, as opposed to the team’s old purple-based jersey code.

The new uniforms are designed with the help of Nike Vapor Premium fabric, with more stretch and a faster drying time compared to the older versions. These are made of 90% polyester, which has been recycled. The black uniform has a bright teal lining instead of the old sand color, with a logo of a ball held by a snake on the left sleeve. The Sedona Red uniform has a ‘Diamondbacks’ logo in front instead of the old D-Backs tagline. It consists of black letters bordered by teal, with the player’s number shining with a blue hue.
The new uniforms are sleeker and much more balanced compared to the older models. The changes made are so minuscule that most fans won’t probably even notice them; however, much to the long-time fan clubs’ dismay, the Arizona Diamondbacks will not be bringing back their teal and purple jerseys.
“The 2024 Arizona Diamondbacks uniforms feature the return of retro elements in a bold new fashion with a nod towards tradition,”, said D-Backs CEO Derrick Hall to MLB.com. According to Hall, the teal and Sedona red combination was an idea provided by the fanbase; the team loved it because it made the uniform very specific to the Grand Canyon State. Now, the question is: do the fans love it as well?

The D-Backs just finished celebrating their team’s consecutive award wins post-World Series Championship. Their 1B Christian Walker and catcher Gabriel Moreno won the National League Gold Glove awards; it was accompanied by 2B Ketel Marte’s NLCS MVP win and outfielder Corbin Carroll’s Rookie of the Year win. The fans were ecstatic about the well-deserved wins, and now, with the new Jersey releases, they can’t seem to hold off their joy. The entire Arizona Diamondbacks fanbase seems to be very happy regarding the new uniform launches.
One fan feels the teal undertone is highly working in the team’s favor.

Another fan loves the serpentine touch of the Snakes’ uniform.

A certain fan seems to think that the team is going in the right direction with the classic changes.
Love the old snake logo making a return, the black looks awesome. Seems like they’re trending in the right direction of getting back to the roots and hopefully by the next refresh it’ll be purple and teal! But these look clean! Love the full diamondbacks lettering as well.
