Bulls, RUNAWAY Team Up for Uniform Design

Team collaborates with clothing company to design DURM Night uniforms
March 30, 2016

DURHAM, NC - The Durham Bulls and RUNAWAY have collaborated on a uniform design for the team's first-ever DURM Night, to be held on Thursday, June 9, at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. The uniform, designed by Durham-based RUNAWAY, is the first Bulls uniform created by a company outside of the sports industry.

"As lifelong fans, this is a dream opportunity," RUNAWAY Founder and Creative Director Gabriel Eng-Goetz said. "What better stage to showcase pride for our hometown than under the bright lights of Durham Bulls Athletic Park?"

The jersey resembles Durham's flag, as the colors royal blue, gold and red are seen throughout. Blue is the jersey's base, while gold and red piping makes up the ends of the shirt's sleeves and runs along the side of the jersey. In the center of the jersey is DURM, a term coined by RUNAWAY as an ode to the city's hard-nosed history. Sitting above the text are the seven stars of Durham, another tribute to the city's flag.

The hat is royal blue, with a block 'D' in red and trimmed in gold. The seven stars of Durham float through the letter's opening, instead of the team's iconic snorting bull. Additionally, players will wear blue, gold and red socks.

"We're thrilled to partner with RUNAWAY for this unique uniform collaboration," Bulls General Manager Mike Birling said. "As we aim to celebrate the creative arm of Durham, a uniform designed by a Durham-based clothing company was a no-brainer for us. We couldn't be happier with the jersey design, and know that it represents the team and city well."

DURM Night will be a celebration of the City of Durham, specifically the city's vibrant art scene. The uniform unveil comes two weeks after the Bulls debuted their Bull City Blues uniforms, which the team will wear for Saturday games beginning in mid-May.
