Major League Baseball has unveiled the full lineup of holiday and special event uniforms and caps that will be worn during the 2018 season.
The Colorado Rockies and the rest of the MLB will wear special uniforms for Jackie Robinson Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day weekend and Independence Day weekend.
Major League Baseball says proceeds from licensed product royalties will be donated to the Jackie Robinson Foundation (Jackie Robinson Day), Susan G. Komen (Mother’s Day), Prostate Cancer Foundation (Father’s Day), Stand Up To Cancer (Mother’s Day and Father’s Day), and MLB Charities (Independence Day).
Here's your first look at the caps Rockies fans will be purchasing this summer:
Jackie Robinson Day: To honor the player who broke baseball's color barrier, all on-field personnel will again wear "42" jerseys. The caps in 2018 will feature a commemorative patch that will also be on jersey sleeves.
Mother's Day: For games on Sunday, May 13, the caps will be highlighted by a pink crown and team color brim. Players will have the option of wearing pink socks while jerseys will feature a pink ribbon.
Memorial Day Weekend: For the 10th year in a row, New Era has designed a new cap for Memorial Day weekend. The new camouflage-designed cap will honor those who lost their lives while serving their country. A matching jersey will be worn by players and coaches. The five stars on the cap represent the five branches of the U.S. military.
Father's Day: For games on Sunday, June 17, New Era has designed a light blue cap with team color brim. Jerseys will have a light blue ribbon for prostate cancer on the left chest while light blue socks will be optional for players.
Independence Day Weekend: The Rockies and all of the MLB will don stars and stripes caps for the 11th consecutive summer. Matching red, white and blue uniforms and socks will return in 2018 as well.
