Everyone in Tampa Bay is waiting for the movement. Waiting for something that can take the new look Rays into a different position among the American League. With loads of young and upcoming talent, the Tampa Bay Rays have decided to spice things up a bit with a brand new logo and charismatic uniforms.

It was dreadful to watch the Rays get beaten up year after year by the Red Sox and Yankees inside Tropicana Field. Remember Fred McGriff taking the field in this jersey? I don’t know about you, but that uniform looked like it belonged in the minor leagues, where teams would do anything to get people in the seats. It was time for a change in Tampa and I truly believe it came at the right time.

To start things off, the Rays will take the field sporting brand new lids. During home games, the club will adorn the brand new home jersey with white pants. When the team hits the road, they will wear the same exact jersey, only in grey. The Rays will also have a new batting practice jersey to accompany the new look. An alternate jersey for the Rays has not been unveiled yet. But with most teams around the league having one, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tampa Bay come out with another dark colored jersey.

When I sum up the new look for the Tampa Bay Rays, something is different. I don’t see the Lou Pinella era or the Jose Canseco/Wade Bogg sideshow act. I see a team that has cornerstones in place as they are moving into a new generation. With that said, I think the Rays deserve the new look and maybe they can turn it into a winning style.
