The IronPigs' Color Rush uniform consists of an all-black combination - a tribute to the Lehigh Valley's unparalleled steelmaking history -- in a return to the on-field look worn by the club during the 2014-15 seasons. The IronPigs were the first team in professional baseball history to wear an all-black uniform combination. The uniform also features the IronPigs' popular black "Molten" cap, a jet-black jersey with steel-plated chrome lettering and all black pants with IronPigs' Steel piping.
The molten IronPigs cap logo, which appears to be literally dripping with liquid metal due to the white-hot heat necessary to forge pig iron, embodies the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania which is world-renowned for this process. The black jersey's chrome lettering and numerals are meant to pay tribute to Pennsylvania's iconic blast furnaces - including those of the Bethlehem Steel Corp. -- along with the generations of men and women that poured their heart and soul into the steel manufacturing process. Steel from the Lehigh Valley is a part of this country's most prominent landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State building.
Meanwhile, Rochester's all-red uniform combination is a return to the club's classic 1976-77 look. The old-school motif features the word "Red Wings" across the jersey front and a traditional red, white and blue piping combination.
The Friday, July 14 game also features a pair of great promotions, including a black umbrella giveaway for 3,000 fans 18 and older courtesy of The Morning Call and post-game Friday Night Fireworks.
