A few weeks ago the Arizona Diamondbacks got the hype ball rolling for the 2016 MLB season by pushing out a whopping eight new custom baseball uniforms for the new year. Not too long after, they snagged one of the top free agents on the open market in pitching ace, Zack Greinke. Needless to say, Arizona Diamondbacks fans have a lot to look forward to come this spring.
The release of the new look was part of their #DbacksEvolution event that appears to be spring-boarding the Diamondbacks into an entirely new phase. It’s a new era that includes a throwback uniform, a uniform with a chrome red top, two all grey baseball uniforms, two all white uniforms and two different uni’s with black tops and red trim on the shoulders.
The new uniforms are a step in the right direction, as they give a struggling franchise a fresh new look and some excitement heading into the 2016 MLB season, regardless of the team’s off-season moves.
Luckily Arizona hasn’t just been wasting their time when it’s come to improving their roster, either, as adding Greinke appears to be a huge move on paper. One big reason why is because this was already a competitive team that had the makings of a team on the rise. Having star mashers like A.J. Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt will do that, and now they could have the stud pitcher to lead an improving defense into the fire.
Are the Diamondbacks suddenly the team to beat in the NL West? That’s tough to say. What we do know is they’ll look a whole lot better come 2016, no matter if they win or lose.
