DETROIT -- The Tigers' iconic Olde English D is getting a "new" look -- and finally, a consistent look.
It's not technically new, because it's the same D the team has used on its caps for 50 years. But by using that same style D on the home jerseys, and making the D slightly larger on the caps, the Tigers will have a different look for 2018. It's a big change for a franchise ever mindful of the place its traditional logo holds in the history of Detroit and the hearts of many from here.
"This Olde English D honors the storied history of our ballclub, with its inspiration reaching back more than a century," Tigers executive vice president of business operations Duane McLean said in a statement unveiling the change.
