After an exciting 2024 season that came to a heartbreaking end , the Cleveland Guardians are continuing to look ahead with another announcement for next year.
The team announced Friday that new uniforms will be rolled for the 2025 season in addition to the City Connect uniforms: a blue alternative road uniform, a red alternative home uniform, a white home uniform and a gray road uniform.
Slight changes have been made to uniforms "injecting energy into the set while honoring the club's 124-year history," a release from the team said. Here's what to know about them:

The most noticeable change for next season's uniforms is in the Guardians' blue alternative road set. The jersey will still have a navy base but will feature the Guardians "Diamond C" logo instead of having "Cleveland" written across the chest.
"The new look gives a nod to the franchise's jerseys that also had a 'C' on the chest from 1901-1945, including the 1920 World Series team jersey, while elevating the Guardians primary logo," the release notes.
The piping on this jersey will also be different from the others in that it'll have a red-white-red pattern to go with the navy base.
The red alternative home set will also get a new look with the club's Bridge Print font with "Guardians" across the chest instead of the script "Guardians" from last season. The piping on this one will have a blue-white-blue pattern to complement the red jersey.
This change was in an effort to continue to incorporate the Guardians brand into the uniforms, according to the release.

The white home uniforms will still have the historic look with "Guardians" across the chest in the script font, but the logo will shift slightly from being on a slant to going horizontal. The jersey will also get new piping along the neckline and arms in a red-blue-red pattern.
This uniform will also get a new hat that's mainly red with a blue bill. All the hats the team wears will still feature the "Diamond C" and the blue hats with red bills will be worn with all the other uniforms.
Lastly, the Guardians gray road uniforms will go unchanged and still feature "Cleveland" across the chest in the Bridge Print font. It'll also have the same red-blue-red piping as the white home uniforms.
