Chris Creamer, the founder of SportsLogos.net had this to say about the uniform set:

The uniform’s simple black and white look is based on how those not from Baltimore perceive the city, “the greyscale exterior represents the surface level view people have of the city,” reads a graphic provided by the Orioles.

It’s quite the concept, but let’s keep rolling with it. In a first for a Major League Baseball uniform, it’s the inside of the jersey where we see a little more character in the design. Reminiscent of what the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs did with their black alternate sweaters last March, the interior of the jersey has an entirely new look, a multi-coloured patchwork representing the many neighbourhoods that shape the City of Baltimore.

“From the outside, it looks all black and white. But there’s always more to our story. In art, black doesn’t exist without colour. You can’t see what you’re not looking for,” continues the graphic from the team. “The palette is like our people: colourful, vibrant and quirky. Whether it’s our iconic rowhomes, egg custard or skylite snowballs, steamed crabs, lemon sticks or salt boxes, Fifi the poodle or pink flamingos, the Ravens or the O’s, our colours run deep here in Baltimore.”

The Orioles will debut these uniforms this Friday night against the Texas Rangers.
