For the Latest Change, Dodgers Could Win Raves

Traditionalists who feared that new Dodger owner Rupert Murdoch would tamper with the team’s simple but distinct uniforms will have those fears realized.

And they should be thrilled.

Because the only change the Dodgers are making for next season is a move back to their glorious past. They will remove the word “Dodgers” from the front of their gray road uniforms and replace it with “Los Angeles” in script.

That’s the way the uniform looked in the team’s early years in Los Angeles. Some blue stitching will also be added to the road outfit.
