Detroit Tigers "D"

Recommended Posts

I apologize if this has been tackled here already; I looked and couldn't find anything. But does anyone know why the Tigers use a different "D" on their uniforms than they do on their hats? They are similar, but definitely not the same. I like them both (I think the Tigers may have the best home jerseys in baseball) but never knew why they are different.

All ready covered.

The reason behind it is that the uniforms were originally designed when matching all the elements of a uniform wasn't a big deal. It's just never been fixed.

It's the same reason why the Yankees have two "NY" logos.

Simple! Watch the two ends of the D (at left, up and down)... in the cap they are very open, pointing more to up and to down. In the jersey, they are smooth.
