The Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, Single-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, unveiled a new uniform based heavily on the color red. With the unveiling of the their fourth uniform, the team highlighted the importance of the color to the town of Kannapolis, citing historic buildings, soil, a soft drink called Cheerwine, and the American flag as instances where locals will find red around town.
The red jersey is the franchise’s first since 2019, when they were the Kannapolis Intimidators, and they have not a red cap since they were the Piedmont Boll Weevils from 1996 to 2000. The blue button on top of the cap dates all the way back to 1995, when the Piedmont Phillies last played, while a script K and yellow star derive from the team’s current branding.
The new uniforms will make their debut in spring 2025 when the Carolina League begins its next season.
