"Fans should expect a return of the 1998 "Snake Head" batting practice logo to be used as an alternate with modernized colors."
FINALLY!

I wish they would've gone to something closer to the old jerseys

If you're hoping for new uniforms, you're going to be disappointed. All they are doing is replacing a color with a new one (not purple) and calling it a day.

Just get rid of the comical "D-Backs" for a start.
Capital "A" for home, "ARIZONA" for road.
I prefer the original color scheme, but I can live with the current one if the uniforms don't look so forgettable.
(On second thought their idea of "unforgettable" might not be such a good thing)

Actually they mentioned in the article that the colors and logos will remain the same.

x2 to all of this. The current "Arizona" road jerseys are fine, and the Saturday black 'A'-logo home uniform is the best/classiest thing they wear. The 'D-backs' home uniforms, in any color, are awful.
I'm curious to see what they come up with, but I don't really trust Hall/KenKen to get anything right anymore, so I'm not optimistic.
P.S. Let's lose the Disney-ish 'D' hat logo too, please. Go with the 'A' logo all the time.

That hasn't been decided yet, they keep making last minute revisions. You should have seen the original concepts that I saw 6.months ago.
Dbacks PR spin is in full gear, players had no insight our knowledge before this morning of new uniforms, and they did not have anything to do with designs.
I would release specific information about the uniforms in full detail, but I will wait unto it's closer to the December 3rd date.

In terms of original colors, this statement us a lie. They wanted something different but MLB suggested Marlins Teal because it was still in the style guide. Another color might return, and it's not purple.

99% probability that the D snake logo is gone. That was one of the first decisions when new uniforms were purposed. The A logo is once again the primary logo.

In what fashion is the old snake logo being used? (Please say on a black or red hat)

Batting Practice hats

Darn. I was hoping they'd use it for the alternate/Sunday real hats, not those weak BP hats.

I think we should all look deep into this image here. Huh, that's a new font that we've never seen before, why would they choose that? And that texture, that's odd.... it's almost like it could be a material pattern. It's almost like they're showing us the new uniforms without saying they are.

A toned-down font from what it is now wouldn't be terrible.

The "texture" in the background is snakeskin.

I think he knows that and was just pointing it out. I am taking his post as a hint.
