The Cincinnati Reds are expected to follow the lead of the Oakland Athletics, and Kansas City Royals and become the third big league team to give up on the "black fad" of the late 1990s.
According to a report on ESPN.com, the Cincinatti Reds will be ditching the black on their uniforms and logo, which they have been using since 1999. The changes are expected to be made in time for the 2007 baseball season.
Through various sources SportsLogos.Net has learned that the Reds will be using navy blue in place of black.
The Reds used navy blue on their uniforms from 1939-1953, at which point they changed their name to the Redlegs to minimize any association with communism.
SportsLogos.Net will follow with any more details as they become available.
