New uniforms
The Orioles debuted new uniforms at the Harborplace Gallery shopping center on November 12, 2008. The team's new uniforms featured an updated, ornithologically correct oriole bird on their caps on a black crown with orange bill, a new patch incorporating the flag of the state of Maryland in a circle borrowed from their vintage 1960s and 1970s insignia, and the return of the city name (Baltimore) in script on the road uniforms for the first time since 1972.[1]
