<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe Tigers introduced the two new uniforms on Thursday, Feb. 19, adding those combinations to their on-field rotation in the 2026 season. The orange jersey features the Old English “D” on the left side of the chest with white pants, while the navy jersey features the “Detroit” script across the chest with gray pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The orange jersey will be worn for select home games, and the navy jersey will be worn for select road games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We’re proud to introduce these new uniforms, which have been years in the making,” said Ryan Gustafson<\/a>, president and CEO of Ilitch Sports + Entertainment, in a statement. “We believe it’s important to ask fans what matters to them, and constantly hear responses centered around getting more creative with merchandise, exploring alternate jerseys, incorporating more elements from uniforms worn by the 1984 team, and steering into the color orange.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tigers now have five jerseys in their regular on-field rotation: white, orange and City Connect jerseys for home games, and gray and navy jerseys for road games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The orange jersey will be worn every Friday for home games, while the City Connect jersey will move to select Monday home games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The whites are amazing, and those will always be the best ones,” said outfielder Kerry Carpenter<\/a>, who modeled the new uniforms with first baseman Spencer Torkelson<\/a> in mid-January, “but I think adding two different ones, it’s really good to give some more flavor to our uniform, our color scheme and everything.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fans can purchase all five jerseys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both alternate jerseys will be available Friday in the “D Shop” at Comerica Park in Detroit and at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland. The jerseys will then be available Sunday for online orders.<\/p>\n\n\n The Tigers unveiled the orange and navy alternate uniforms after an 18-month process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process centered around gathering feedback from fans and players about what alternate uniforms should look like. Before 2026, the Tigers had been one of only two MLB teams without an alternate uniform, not including the City Connect uniforms, which debuted in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fans wanted alternate uniforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That was the feedback from hundreds of fans through surveys, focus groups and split testing from team officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Our creative team developed hundreds of concepts that were debuted by colleagues in the front office, fans in focus groups, and players in the clubhouse,” Gustafson said. “What you see today is a result of nearly everyone being drawn to the alignment between our existing uniforms and new alternates, featuring the iconic Olde English ‘D’ and script Detroit, while bringing navy and orange to the forefront. These uniforms are thoroughly rooted in our tradition \u2013 fresh takes on Detroit classics \u2013 pushing us to evolve with authenticity in mind, just like our city has for centuries.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Detroit Tigers have unveiled orange and navy alternate uniforms for the 2026 season.
