Wednesday BP: Giants to become first MLB team to put pride colors on their uniforms

Hello and happy Wednesday. I hope you’re all having a great day.

On Tuesday, the San Francisco Giants announced that they would become the first team in Major League Baseball to celebrate pride month by putting the pride colors directly on their uniforms. The team announced the news in a statement featuring a quote from president and CEO Larry Baer, as well as an explanation of what the 11 colors represent.

The team will don the pride colors this Saturday against the Chicago Cubs, with a patch on the jersey sleeve, and a hat with the pride colors.

Good on the Giants for this one.
