Saitama Seibu has announced that it will hold the "The Lions 75 Anniversary Series" to commemorate 75 years since it was named "The Lions" this season. The games regular season will be held in Belluna Dome from Friday, April 18 to 20 (Sun), Friday, June 27 to 29 (Sun), and Friday, September 5 to 7 (Sun), and one in Tokyo Dome on Monday, July 14. The limited edition jersey, which will be worn by coaches and players in the series, was unveiled at Nango-cho, Nichinan, Miyazaki Prefecture, the spring training site of the first team.
In the "The Lions 75 Anniversary Series," they added a new design to the past jersey that has been passed down with great care, and fought in a limited jersey that expresses tradition and innovation. The left sleeve is decorated with a logo that fuses 75 with the figure of a fighting lion, and the "Lions" on the chest is based on the cursive script of the golden age of 80 to 90's, and has been changed to a beautiful meteor design to express the sense of speed that runs through the modern age.
The neckline has three lines of The Lions blue, green and red, which are reminiscent of the golden age, and the pants have four lines of legend blue. It is a jersey that breathes in the wind of a new era without stopping the trend of the times that The Lions has accumulated.
At the match against Fukuoka Softbank on Saturday, April 19, "The Lions 75 Anniversary jersey" was distributed to all visitors except for some seats. On the right sleeve is a design of Peko-chan, the mascot character of Fujiya Co., Ltd., which is celebrating 75 years like The Lions.

Nishiguchi Fumiya, Coach Comments
"I thought it was a bit similar to the golden age design that I wore when I was still active, but I think it's cool to combine new designs like the new cursive part of Lions and the line of pants with legend blue. Please look forward to seeing the athletes running around ground wearing this jersey."
Comment by pitcher Tatsuya Imai
"I'm not familiar with the 75 year old jersey, but I think it's a design that even young people of my generation can think of as cool. As a team with a long history, we will do our best to lead the way and create a new era, so that we can mark the 75 year The Lions series in win and make jersey a “winning team ”. Fans, please come to Belluna Dome."
