New Uniforms: Hanshin, Chunichi, Yokohama
Spring Camps have opened and there is plenty to write about, but my schedule isn’t quite cooperating so I hope this recap of this year’s new uniforms will do. Fully half of the Central League is donning new threads this season, and here they are:
- Hanshin Tigers: The Tigers are taking a page from Chiba Lotte’s book with their 2011 uniforms.
- Chunichi Dragons: Chunichi is going back to their classic, Dodgers-style script this year, an update of the throwbacks that they wore last year. I have to admit that I like these better than what the Dragons wore during the Ochiai Era.
- Yokohama DeNA Baystars: Like their new logo, the Baystars new uniforms have a bit of a Nintendo-ish look. They’re growing on me, though, with the exception of the road uniform’s hat.

I actually like the road cap better than the home cap, but neither as much as old royal blue caps with the script B and the stars behind.
Are the dark pants part of the road set?

What a shame about the Tigers’ new uniforms. They are ugly and dull…the switch from the traditional grey to Chiba Lotte rip-offs is idiotic.
Props to the upgraded Dragons and Baystars uniforms tho! The Dragons were long overdue.

Video game look is very fitting for Yokohama, as many have noted.
I like the Dragons retro-new unis, much improved upon the Ochiai era generic modern outfit.
