Bull City Blues A bold new addition to tradition
A tribute to the past, present, and future of the Bull City
The Durham Bulls 'D' is iconic. A snorting bull, leaping through a block letter D has been a staple of the city of Durham, North Carolina, and Minor League Baseball for decades.
But in 2016, there will be a bold new addition to the rich tradition of Durham Bulls baseball. The team's new Bull City Blues uniforms - to be worn on Saturday home games beginning in mid-May - unite the city's gritty history with its vibrant present and future.
The uniform features two colors never-before associated with the Bulls. First, a bold new orange represents the progress and bright future of Durham. The city's vivacity, from its innovative spirit to its diverse culture, is symbolized in this fresh, robust orange. Second, the navy blue is not only a tribute to the Bulls' Major League affiliate - the Tampa Bay Rays - but is also a symbol of the community's urban roots, and pays homage to the blue-collar history of the tobacco industry that helped Durham grow into the city it is today.
The Uniform
The uniform's solid, heavy navy gives it a rugged base, a homage to Durham's rich and diverse history. The orange, highlighting the uniform, represents where Durham is today and where the city is going. This is the uniform where the past, present and future come together to represent the Bull City.
A story told in details
A New Era in Bulls on-field caps
For the first time in Durham Bulls history, the crown of the cap will feature a 3D logo. Previously, the Bulls have always worn a flat-stitched, on-field cap, but the Bull City Blues hat breaks the mold.
Bull City Rising
Bull City Blues premieres Saturday, May 21st when the Bulls take the field opposite the Rochester Red Wings. Beginning on May 21st, the team will wear its Bull City Blues and celebrate with postgame Fireworks for every Saturday home game for the remainder of the season.
