2007 brings plenty of changes for the Cincinnati Reds. The new uniforms were revealed in December 2006. For caps, the home caps are all red with a white “C”, while on the road they have red crowns and black bills. The sleeveless jerseys were also retired, and the team brought back the more traditional shirt. The team also revived the lettering that was used when the team was new. The team has also “gone green” and become the first major league baseball team to be carbon neutral, with the emissions from opening day being offset with Verified Emission Reductions. The Cincinnati Reds also did this for their Earth Day home game.

The Cincinnati Reds will be playing home games this season from the Great American Ball Park. A newer park, it was opened in 2003 with a ceremonial first pitch by former President George Bush. The park is actually named for its business sponsor, the Great American Insurance Group, despite its patriotic-sounding name. The opening day of the Great American Ball Park was also the same day that Gapper was introduced to the Cincinnati Reds fans.
