This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

The home uniform is based on the current one but the stripes fade out towards the bottom of the trousers. They also fade out around the logo and number. The logo reads 'Tigers' and is black with white lining. Behind is a roughly sprayed yellow background which highlights the name. The player's number is also on the front also with the sprayed effect. The back shows a similar effect on both the number and name - with the yellow spray highlight as well. The batting helmet ventilation holes are outlined in yellow.The cap and helmet logo is a white T and yellow H.
The away uniform is grey with black and white stripes (the black stripe being over a broader white stripe). Once again the fading effect is used for the bottom of the trousers but this time also around the neck and waist. The logo 'Hanshin' is printed in white with black lining on the chest along with the player number. Both are highlighted in sprayed yellow. This effect is repeated for the player's name and number on the back. The batting helmet and cap both have a grey peak with holes outlined in grey. The cap and helmet logo is a white T and grey H.
All logo's, names are printed not embroidered. An interesting and modern variation on the current uniform. I am not sure about the yellow sprayed highlight effect though.
