The Giants will have a new look when they take the field for 2026 MLB spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona, this month.
The team revealed players no longer will don black jerseys this spring, instead bringing an “Orange Friday” vibe to the desert with bright new jerseys and a colorful hat to match.
The new hats appear to feature a blooming cactus — an homage to the 15-team Cactus League in which the Giants compete during the spring.
San Francisco enters the 2026 MLB season under first-year manager Tony Vitello, who made the jump to the big leagues after colossal success with the University of Tennessee. He’ll certainly feel comfortable in the Giants’ orange threads after his time rocking a similar color at the college level.
This isn’t the first time the Giants have made a uniform switch recently, either. Last year, San Francisco swapped its road grey jerseys for their now-former spring training black uniforms as a call back to the “team unity” they built earlier that season at Scottsdale Stadium.
Giants pitchers and catchers report to spring training Tuesday, while the team will hold its first full-squad workout this coming Sunday.
As San Francisco aims to turn a new leaf this year, its new spring training look could be a good start.
