For the first time since 2007, the Diamondbacks are getting a new look.

Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hallannounced a change of the team's uniforms at Friday's D-Backs Celebrity Golf Classic in Chandler.

The team is planning to unveil the new look on Dec. 3.

From their inaugural 1998 season to the uniform overhaul in 2007, the Diamondbacks' primary colors were purple and teal. The 2007 redesign brought a new look and Sedona Red, Sonoran Sand and black color scheme to the ballclub -- making nine seasons with each color scheme. Those colors will not change with this redesign.

The team brought back the purple and teal for "throwback" Thursday home games in 2015.

Though the exact details are not yet known, the primary Diamondbacks "A" logo will not change. Fans should expect a return of the 1998 "Snake Head" batting practice logo to be used as an alternate with modernized colors.

The official unveiling will mark the culmination of a process that began midway through the 2014 season and continued throughout this past season.

“This is an exciting time for our franchise as we have a unique opportunity to continue to evolve our uniforms,” Hall said. “We have worked closely with our players for a year and a half to get their input, as well as feedback from fans and some of the top uniform experts in the world.”

Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was directly involved with this redesign.

“I’m excited to be a part of this transition in 2016,” Goldschmidt said. “It’s been great to be a part of the process over the past year-plus in helping the Diamondbacks come up with uniforms that will look good and keep the tradition of both our franchise and the sport of baseball. As a player, the most important thing we can do is go out and put a winning team on the field.”
