The San Francisco Giants recently announced the addition of a new black alternate jersey for road games, marking the first change in five years. While the introduction was a notable decision, the team's explanation—highlighting a supposed connection to Spring Training unity—came across as overly formal and inauthentic. The black jersey features orange accents and is a nod to past uniforms, although it has not been commonly used on the road historically. The uniform aims to be an occasional alternative to their traditional gray jersey.
The announcement to add a new uniform was overshadowed by a confusing explanation, which detracted from the excitement of the change.
The Giants' new alternate uniform reflects team unity from Spring Training, yet the corporate language used felt overly contrived and unnecessary.
