Logos and Uniforms of The Cincinnati Reds - Changes in 2007

Changes in 2007

The Reds revealed new uniforms in December 2006. The home caps returned to all-red with a white wishbone C, lightly outlined in black. Caps with red crowns and black bill became the new road caps. Regardless of what cap they are wearing, the batting helmets are all-red with the white wishbone C outlined in black. Additionally, the sleeveless jerseys were abandoned for more traditional shirts. The numbers and the lettering for the names on the backs of the jerseys were changed to an early-1900s style typeface. It had been rumored that navy blue was to make a return as a trim color, but the unveiled designs did not end up featuring any navy blue. The alternate club logo and jersey Mr. Red emblem was replaced by the moustachioed Mr. Redleg from 1956. Adding to the team's list of firsts, the Cincinnati Reds were the first MLB team to go Carbon Neutral*. The emissions associated with Opening Day 2007 were offset with Verified Emission Reductions, VERs, with Carbon Solutions Group. The Reds also offset all emissions associated with the home game on Earth Day, April 22, 2007 against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Alternative Red uniforms are worn on day games and Sundays. However, on July 25, 2011, they wore the Red tops for the Monday night game, presumably due to the fact that they had just won back-to-back games for the first time in over a month, while wearing Red for Saturday's day game and Sunday's game.
