The San Francisco Giants will become the first MLB team to incorporate pride colors on their on-field uniforms to honor the LGBTQ+ community and pride celebrations in the month of June.
The Giants will kick off Pride Month by wearing the uniforms against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. They’ll sport an SF logo pride patch on the sleeve of their home jersey and a custom cap with pride colors on the SF logo.
“We are extremely proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community as we kick off one of the best annual celebrations in San Francisco by paying honor to the countless achievements and contributions of all those who identify as LGBTQ+ and are allies of the LGBTQ+ community,” Giants CEO Larry Baer in a statement released by the club on Tuesday.
The team added the 11 colors of the new Pride logo are “emblematic of the Progress Pride Flag and signify inclusion and progression with the six pride colors.” Those 11 colors are red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, blue for serenity, purple for spirit, black and brown to recognize LGBTQ+ people of color, and light blue, pink and white to recognize people who are transgender.
