The Arizona D'backs changed their team colors this year. Did you ever hear the rationale for this?

Question

It was late this summer before I noticed the D'backs now wear rust and gray(???) Why did they change team colors?

Answer 1

Yeah they needed a new uniform ,When they win the world series this year !!!!

Answer 2

The Diamondbacks announced in early September 2006 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 printed the new design for all to see.

While some fans applauded the redesign, some of the reaction to the new color scheme, which included 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.

The distinctive "A" design remained unchanged save for the colors. The stylized snake-like "D" logo, also used since the early days for the road uniforms, was slightly redesigned and a completely new shoulder patch introduced. The lettering on the jerseys was completely redesigned.

Answer 3

I basically wish the Yanks don't be resting on their laurels & initiate getting lazy or have a enable down relatively gamers who gained rings for the 1sr time like Sabathia, Rodriguez, Tex, Chamberlain are some examples. BQ1- in case you need to pass decrease back in time and alter a million factor approximately your team's offseason, might you? What might you substitute?= might have Damon or Matsui come decrease back & no longer sign Nick Johnson. BQ2- who're you going to omit maximum at spring education this year? (like a participant that your team did no longer re-sign?)= Matsui maximum of all.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

Merchandising plain and simple. Same reason teams add an alternate uniform for Sundays or Holiday games. Just something else for the Superfan to buy once they have everything else.

Answer 7

To sell more jerseys, caps, etc. with the new colors. Plus, the old colors were horrible.

Answer 8

Merchandise sales. Is there ever any other reason?
