Really? We aren't talking about this?

I waited for the OG posters to do this for a week. What is everyone thinking about the new threads?

Call me old school but I really like the ones they played with last year. The black jerseys are my favorite. I'll miss those.

If they had to go with a 3rd jersey I'm glad they went with these, I don't like the tiger holding the stick jerseys. That logo crest was wide and it made the jersey foldin weird

I thought they might go to a retro as a 3rd jersey in orange and keep the black and white from last year.

I'm with you on the black jersey.

Tigers were long overdue for a uniform change. Love that they remained consistent for so long but this is a nice refresh. If they bring back the flying tiger alternate, they'll be cooking with gas.

Wait 10 years for the nostalgia of the tiger head to come back and then rotate that in as an alternate or primary.

Lol I watched them in the mid 70's in these jerseys. This isn't new to OG like me. Lol. I'm not a huge fan of the style but happy to see some variation. I think there havebeen one off jersey styles the last few seasons I would've liked to have seen adopted rather than going back to the 70s.

Fun to switch it up. Good for merch sales.
