On March 18, 2026, the KIA Tigers announced on Instagram the launch of their new third uniform — a bold red jersey paired with black pants that channels the team’s fierce identity and tradition.
In the released photos, players pose with bats in the new kits, highlighting detailed touches. The TIGERS wordmark and jersey numbers feature black-and-white outlining for sharper visibility, while unique banded fabric accents the sleeve cuffs and neckline.
Fans flooded the comments with excitement, writing, “Finally, black and red!” and “Can’t wait for Sunday home games in the third uniform.”
