Fresno Grizzlies are killing the hat and jersey game again in 2016

The Tacos are back! And the Astros Triple A affiliate has more.

By Ryan Dunsmore

Last season the Houston Astros Triple A affiliate Fresno Grizzlies took the minor league baseball world by storm with their Tacos jersey and cap. The team Tuesday showed off their new version of the Tacos jersey and cap, this time around they have a twist of lime.

The uniform combo well be worn on 10 Tuesday home games. The team will showcase a different local taco truck for each game on "Taco Tuesdays" -- leading up to the team's 6th Annual Taco Truck Throwdown on Aug. 18.

Taco Tuesdays at Chukchansi Park will also feature big savings at the concession stands; $2 tacos, $2 churros and $2 sodas.

Grizzlies General Manager Derek Franks said of Tacos Tuesday:

"Last season, there was some speculation that we might become the Fresno Tacos permanently, but to be sure, we're prouder than ever of the Fresno Grizzlies," said Tacos Grizzlies General Manager Derek Franks. "Coming off our first Pacific Coast League and Triple-A National Championship in franchise history, Growlifornia Republic is alive and growing. But we saw how special the Fresno Tacos were to our fans for just one night, and there's no harm in multiplying that pride times 10 this season."

The Grizzlies weren't done showing off new caps and uniforms this week. The team will wear mariachi-themed uniform to honor the 30th anniversary of the premiere of ¡Three Amigos! movie in 1986.

The Grizzlies will wear a special cap, jersey, and pants on Friday, July 22. The hats will be on sale to the public at future date.

The Grizzlies have done it again with the best alternate uniforms in minor league baseball.
