The Boston Red Sox have one of the most well-known looks in all of baseball, but that doesn’t mean they’re immune to potential changes.
Red Sox president Sam Kennedy suggested recently that the team is looking at possible concept changes for its classic uniforms, although he added that the club is “respectful” of its traditional look, via Chad Jennings of The Athletic:
“We are looking at changes as we go forward. (The changes will be) likely geared to get us to a uniform that is geared towards high performance. We will always be respectful of our incredible traditional look and feel, but we are always open to new and different concepts as time goes by.”
Fear not, traditionalists. It sounds as if the Red Sox are more focused on changing the fit than the aesthetics, as executive vice president of partnerships Troup Parkinson indicated:
“I think our folks on the ownership side are really more focused on fit. They think that, for example, Nike can bring tons of technology to the fit and hopefully help the performance of the athlete, which has happened in basketball and in football, but, amazingly, in baseball it hasn’t. The (players), if you talk to them, they will say the uniform doesn’t fit.”
