Sometimes, bigger isn't always better.
The Tigers have learned this through trial and error.
The ballclub confirmed Friday that for the 2019 season, it will shrink the size of the Olde English "D" on the team's official caps, amid significant public outcry after it greatly expanded the size prior to the 2018 season.
Feedback from fans was instrumental in the decision to revert to the old look. The "D" won't be exactly the same size as prior to 2018, but very similar, the Tigers said.
"Based on fan input, we made a slight adjustment to the size and positioning of the iconic Olde English 'D,'" said Ron Colangelo, Tigers vice president for communications.
