Cleveland Guardians Announce New Uniforms for 2025 Season

The Cleveland Guardians announced today they’re making changes to all four of their standard uniforms for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. It’s the first tweak the club has made to their set since they rebranded as the Guardians three years ago.

We’ll start with the home and road set before moving onto the bigger changes announced today, to their two alternate jerseys.

2025 CLEVELAND GUARDIANS HOME UNIFORM

At home the Guardians will continue to wear the same scripted red wordmark across their chest as they have since 2022, but it’s now presented straight across the jersey rather than diagonally. New red/blue/red piping has been added to this jersey as well, around the collar and around each sleeve, replacing last year’s single blue stripe. The biggest change to the Guardians home uniform is the new cap they’ll wear with it, which will now be predominantly red instead of blue. The logo on the front of the cap remains their “Diamond-C” logo, but now in blue with white trim.

2025 CLEVELAND GUARDIANS ROAD UNIFORM

For road games, the only change we’ll see to the Guardians grey jersey is the addition of that same piping we see on the home whites — red/blue/red around the collar and each arm. The “CLEVELAND” wordmark across the chest remains the same. The cap paired with the road grey jersey is now the blue crown with red visor the team wore for home games from 2022-24. The all-blue cap, which had been worn exclusively on the road last year, is history.

2025 CLEVELAND GUARDIANS HOME ALTERNATE UNIFORM

The Guardians red home jersey will see a totally new wordmark across the chest, as they’ll now use their “Bridge Print” font to display GUARDIANS in blue with white trim. Previously, this jersey used the same scripted-style lettering we see on the home whites. The new piping is present on the red jerseys as well, but now in a blue/white/blue pattern. Photos show the Guardians wearing their blue cap with a red visor alongside this jersey, just as they did last year.

2025 CLEVELAND GUARDIANS ROAD ALTERNATE UNIFORM

The biggest overall change comes to the road blue set, where the arched “CLEVELAND” wordmark has been scrapped in favour of their Diamond C cap logo in red with white trim. The club says this is an homage to the team’s uniforms worn between 1901 and 1945 which also featured a large “C” on the front. Piping is present on this set as well, in a red/white/red pattern around the collar and sleeves.

2025 CLEVELAND GUARDIANS CITY CONNECT UNIFORM

No changes here! In 2025, the Guardians will continue to wear their Guardians of Traffic-inspired navy blue City Connect uniform exactly as it was in 2024.

My thoughts? While I like its design, the red cap paired their home white jersey will take some getting used to; they did try this once before, very briefly in 2018, before going back to their usual navy blue lids. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them switch to the blue caps at home at some point in 2025 and instead wear the red caps with the red jerseys.

The addition of the piping is nice, but where it looks especially sharp is on the club’s new blue road alternate tops. That classic bright red/white/red immediately gives me flashbacks to uniform styles of the 1970s and 1980s (think of the Big Red Machine). The big bold red “C” on the dark navy blue jersey is also a strong look with nice ties back to the team’s uniform roots.

None of the new jerseys are available to purchase yet, the team says they’ll be available at some point before the start of the 2025 season.
