Birmingham Steeldogs Unveil New Uniforms

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Birmingham Steeldogs are getting a makeover.

With just over a week remaining until the team’s first game versus the San Diego Riptide, the Steeldogs Front Office is giving fans a sneak peak at the team’s new threads.

“We feel that it is time to update our uniform design,” said Scott Myers, the Steeldogs managing partner. “This is just one of the many positive changes that we have in store for our fans and sponsors for 2005.”

Both the home and away jerseys will feature a swath of orange along the shoulder pad area with the player’s number positioned along the top of the pads in black, trimmed in white. The Steeldogs logo is located on both sleeves.

The home jersey is black through the midsection with white piping running from top to bottom, joining across the top of the chest. The numerals are orange trimmed in white. “Steeldogs” is printed across the chest.

The road jerseys are white through the midsection with black piping running under the collar and down the sides. The player’s number is orange, trimmed in white, and “Birmingham” is printed across the top of the chest.

The players will wear solid black pants at home and solid white pants on the road.

The Steeldogs’ home and away uniforms have been standard throughout the past five years. With the exception of a few numeral color shifts, as well as a handful of piping experiments, the 2005 uniforms mark the first overall fresh look for the team since its inception.
