I think this is awesome: “The franchise strived to find ways to make the jersey meaningful to the larger Bay Area community, in particular honoring the heritage of Northern California. One symbol of Hispanic heritage and influence in the region are yarn-dyed textiles. The unique technique and striping patterns used to produce serapes and other items has a long history and still has a place in California apparel and surf culture. As a nod to this influence in the community, the team incorporated a teal yarn-dye-esque pattern on the sleeves and at the bottom of the jersey.”
It also explains Raffi’s appearance I would guess (other than shocking the shit out of us because it’s so unexpected), since his parents are from Mexico and Peru.
We have the OG shark 99% of the time so I’m glad we have this. I love the OG shark but it’s nice to have another option. Just remember we are about to have fanatics. I can’t imagine they will be making better ones than this.

I like them. I really like them.
I know a lot of people will hate them. Those people are wrong imo.
The striping on the sleeves and bottom are actually a lot more subtle than I expected. I like this a lot. And Kappo’s all black pads look sick
I fucking love these so much. I even like Raffi Torres in it in the promo video.
I cant wait for it to be mine !!!! Happy Valentines, tooooo me !!!! 😁💙🖤🖤💙
Very nice. OG sharks logo would’ve looked nicer tho imo.
Really don’t like the name. I feel like only people not from California call it Cali.
