The Los Angeles Dodgers announced they will be wearing a new blue jersey as part of their regular road uniform rotation starting in the 2026 season. This marks the first time in the team's history that they will have a permanent blue jersey option, breaking from their traditional gray road uniforms. The new design features Dodger Blue fabric, gray piping, and the classic 'Los Angeles' script across the front.

Why it matters

The Dodgers' iconic road grays have been a staple of the franchise for decades, so this shift to a blue jersey represents a major change for one of baseball's most recognizable brands. Fans have had mixed reactions, with some embracing the new look while others lament the loss of the traditional road uniform.

The details

The new Dodgers blue road jerseys will feature several unique design elements, including gray piping on the sleeves, the classic 'Los Angeles' script across the front, a 'Dodgers' patch on one sleeve, and a Guggenheim patch on the other. The jersey's Dodger Blue shade is a departure from the team's previous 'Los Dodgers' City Connect uniforms, which featured a lighter blue.

  • The Dodgers will debut the new blue jerseys during their upcoming road trip starting on April 17, 2026.
  • The new jerseys are now available for purchase on the Dodgers team store online.
