The time travel of the Cincinnati Reds season continues Sunday afternoon, as they will wear 1912 Reds-inspired uniforms during their match against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

With a cream cap, jersey and trousers, the 1912 Reds' uniform has no logo on the front of the jersey, he just passes the collar and half-button on the chest. A patch with a red "C" is worn on each round. The figures on the back, a modern creation, have been styled to match the design of the "C" patches.

The cap has a cream crown with red visor and button, thin red stripes on the top and on the front of the cap is a first version of their famous "boom-C" still worn today.

Reds: "This minimalist style was chosen as the motive of the domestic uniform for the 1912 season, a particularly well-known year for the first season of Redland Field, the new stadium built by the club on the same site as its demolished predecessor, the Palace. of the Fans. Redland (renamed Crosley Field in 1934) was much stronger than the Palace, serving as baseball until the middle of the 1970 season.
