About The Nine:
The Eugene Emeralds met with a panel of local black leaders and organizations to carefully craft a Brand-New, groundbreaking Alternate Identity. The colors of the jersey have been picked with respect to the lengthy, complex history of the Black community in Eugene. The cap is designed in the spirit of caps from the Negro League Era. Come see The Eugene Nine take the field for the first time in 2025.
