The “boys in blue” will take on a literal meaning this year.
On Thursday, the Dodgers announced they are introducing a new blue uniform into their regular road rotation.
The new jerseys follow the team’s traditional template, featuring their iconic red numbers on the front and a cursive “Los Angeles” script across the chest.

Blue uniforms have been used at home in the past, but not since the team’s original “Los Dodgers” city connection jerseys were replaced by their new moon-colored iteration.
Previously, the Dodgers had rotated between two gray uniforms on the road — one that said “Los Angeles” and another that said “Dodgers.”
The new edition will be accented in gray, used for the sleeve piping and an outline on the numbers.
Another new feature: A “Dodgers” cursive script logo is on the sleeve, replacing the usual “LA” logo.
On the other sleeve, the Dodgers’ Guggenheim sponsor patch will also be displayed.
Rumors about a new blue uniform had been floating around in recent weeks, after pictures of the jersey were leaked online.
Now, it’s official — though the team did not announce when the jersey will make its debut.
The Dodgers begin their first road trip of the season on Friday, with a three-game series against the Washington Nationals.
