It might take sharp eyes to notice this one but there's something a little different about one set of Cleveland Indians jerseys this season.
Keen fans picked up on the slight difference in the team's alternate jerseys, which they wore for the first time in 2015 Wednesday night against the Houston Astros.
Man the #Indians really darkened these jerseys. They almost look black.

Maybe it's just me, but @Indians blue jerseys look darker than last year (compare to cap) @PhilHecken @UniWatch pic.twitter.com/bXRtMQDFRC

Those astute folks were spot on, which the Indians later clarified with the official name of the shade.
To answer uni questions: We'll wear midnight navy this year when we wear dark, at home and on the road. pic.twitter.com/jbiA8hs1eq

The color updates were actually unveiled back in February -- just not with as much fanfare as another Cleveland team's alterations.
