Not bad, but it didn't exactly change from last year aside from the dropping of the navy away. It can't tell if the new Yakult away is grey though. I am happy to see the powder blues and pinstripes return.

I personally can't see the difference between the home and away jerseys. I would've liked to see either the power blues as the aways, or maybe use the same navy blues they've used the last few years.

Nice throwbacks.

There seems to be a trend with many teams using off white (gray?) away uniforms. Perhaps influenced by the Giants decision to ditch their ugly black tops early last season? At least the Lions and BayStars also have very light coloured away jerseys. It's gonna be like watching high school ball.

I really liked that they went with the "Atoms" unis and caps last year as the throwbacks. This year's are good, but not as good.
