Online reaction to the navy-blue jersey with signature orange accents was mixed, with comments ranging from “beauty” to “garbage.”

Fans will be able to pre-order the third jerseys and shop for other merchandise at the Fan Day event.

Tickets are free and fans will be treated to an open practice starting at noon.
