New uniforms

The Orioles have unveiled new uniforms, which debuted at the Harborplace Gallery shopping center on November 12, 2008. The team's new uniform will feature an updated ornithologically correct Oriole bird on their caps on a black crown with orange bill, a new patch which incorporates the flag of the state of Maryland in a circle borrowed from their vintage 1960's and 1970s insignia, and the return of the city name (Baltimore) on the road uniforms for the first time since 1972.
