The team’s new on-field look will include one of the franchise’s popular original colors, teal, as well as bold gray for the team’s road uniforms.
The D-backs enter their 2016 season having worn the original purple and teal colors for nine years followed by the Sedona Red, Sonoran Sand and Black colors for the previous nine years.

The team’s primary “A” logo will stay the same with a modernized version of the Snakehead logo that will be on the left sleeve of the uniform.
The team says it will continue to use the “Throwback” uniforms worn on Thursdays in 2015, which was also the same uniform worn in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series.
A new three-color wordmark, in a custom stylized font, is on the chest of each jersey while a front number returns to a D-backs’ uniform for the first time since 2002.
