And they\u2019ll also do it wearing \u2018Tampa Bay\u2019 on their uniform chests<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe team will wear the new uniforms for the first time against the New York Yankees on Tuesday, Sept. 22 during Game 2 of the day\u2019s doubleheader beginning at 7:05 p.m. and will serve as the Rays primary road uniforms moving forward, replacing the current Columbia blue jerseys featuring the burst logo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThese uniforms celebrate our long-term commitment to Tampa Bay,\u201d said Rays Chief Executive Officer Ken Babby. \u201cAs our team travels the country, we do so with tremendous admiration for our home. Tampa Bay is always in our hearts and that\u2019s why we will wear it across our chest.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are particularly proud that our fans helped choose this design, and we love the fact they want the baseball world to see \u2018Tampa Bay\u2019 when we play on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n
Similar to the City Connect uniforms introduced in 2024, the jersey will read \u201cTampa Bay\u201d across the chest. This is a modern take on the original road gray \u201cTampa Bay\u201d uniforms first worn by the club between 1998-2000.\u202f<\/p>\n
After today\u2019s double header, Tampa Bay and New York will face off in games on Wednesday and Thursday before the Rays finish the regular season this weekend with three road games against Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
