Portland Sea Dogs unveil new uniforms

The Portland Sea Dogs unveiled their new-look uniforms Friday. The team has changed its colors because of its change in affiliation from the Florida Marlins to the Boston Red Sox.

The home white jerseys are similar to those that the Red Sox wear with the exception that the players’ names will be on the back.

The road jerseys are gray with Portland spelled out in block lettering across the chest. The classic number, as used on the home jersey, will appear on the back without the players’ names.

The home caps are navy blue with a navy blue bill. The team will wear alternate caps for selected home games that are red with a navy blue bill. Road caps are navy blue with red bills.

The team also announced that former Red Sox great Johnny Pesky will throw out the ceremonial first pitch when the team opens the season against the New York Yankees affiliate, the Trenton Thunder, on April 3 at 6 p.m.
