On the 23rd, Orix Buffaloes announced that the team was celebrating its 90th anniversary. The team began its history on January 23, 1936, as the Hankyu baseball Association, and has since established itself as a popular team after experiencing both golden and slump periods. This season's third uniform cap and chest mark will feature a logo that pays homage to the Hankyu Braves, the team's roots, as a token of gratitude for 90 years of support and respect for its predecessors.
