US Soccer has also taken rainbow numerals national with both the USMNT and USWNT wearing them during June 2017 friendly matches. Making this promotion extra meaningful was that Minnesota’s roster that season included Collin Martin, who had come out as gay. Similarly, MLS’s Minnesota United took the pitch in 2018 sporting rainbow jersey numbers. In 2020, the OL Reign joined in and added their own Pride numerals. In 2017, for example, the NWSL’s appropriately named Orlando Pride wore rainbow numbers for a 2017 match during June. Even Barry Bonds looks huggable in a red ribbon jersey. Now they’re following examples from teams in other major sports leagues by incorporating the colors of Pride into uniforms. The Giants are no strangers to setting new precedents for sartorially supporting the community, previously incorporating the AIDS red ribbon into their jerseys as part of the annual Until There’s a Cure Day promotion. With this announcement, the Giants have become the first team in baseball history to wear the colors of the Pride flag on their on-field uniforms during a game, and doing it intertwined with their log. Until this point, Giants jerseys evoking pride in San Francisco mostly revolved around the numbers 24 and 28.

… The San Francisco Giants encourage fans to reflect on where you personally stand on racism and what you choose to do to make our workplaces, our communities, and our world free of hatred and racial injustice. We see it as everyone’s responsibility in the front office to ensure the San Francisco Giants become a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization. We stand unified across MLB in support of The Players Alliance, our coaches, and players who are speaking up in support of the needs of the Black community. We do not view Black Lives Matter as a political issue, but rather a calling to remain active in the fight to eliminate systemic racism. We say Black Lives Matter and display Black Lives Matter at Oracle Park to remind us all to listen, to learn, and to stand in solidarity with the Black community in the fight to be seen, heard, and equal.
The Giants’ baseball team is clearly trying to be the most woke MLB team considering they are also staunch supporters of the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement, writing:
Giants President and CEO Larry Baer also said, “We are extremely proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community as we kick off one of the best annual celebrations in San Francisco by paying honor to the countless achievements and contributions of all those who identify as LGBTQ+ and are allies of the LGBTQ+ community.” Looking forward to the impact and the support that we can provide for the LGBTQ+ community.” Manager Gabe Kapler was giddy of the move, saying, “Very proud that the San Francisco Giants are taking this step. “The Oracle Park scoreboard will also display Pride colors throughout June.” “Billy Bean, MLB’s first ambassador for inclusion, will take part in Saturday’s events at Oracle Park, where the palm trees in Willie Mays Plaza will be wrapped in the 11 colors of the Pride flag,” ESPN reported. #PRIDE /FOgmex88Lg- SFGiants June 1, 2021
