Mizzou baseball will be donning some new alternate uniforms as the Tigers pay tribute to their home city of Columbi.
The “CoMo-inspired jerseys” — pictured below via a post on the Tigers’ X account — will be worn on April 21 during a non-conference game against SIU Edwardsville. The uniforms feature the city’s “CoMo” nickname on the chest.
April 21, in fact, will be “CoMo Day” at Taylor Stadium. The nonconferenc game will also feature a first pitch thrown by former NASCAR great Carl Edwards, a native of Columbia.
“What makes Mizzou a special place is that the university is at the center of the community. It was important as a program to recognize where the majority of our support comes from. We are truly excited for CoMo day at Taylor Stadium,” said Mizzou head coach Kerrick Jackson.
Before facing SIUE, the Tigers have a tough task in front of them as they visit Top 15 team Oklahoma for a three-game SEC series. Mizzou has lost three straight games and currently sits at 20-17 (3-12 SEC).
SIUE is 20-17 overall. But it’s currently tied with Eastern Illinois atop the OVC standings at 10-2.
First pitch from Taylor Field on Tuesday is set for 6 p.m. ET.
