In July 2002, due to the reorganization of the Yomiuri Group, 'Yomiuri Co., Ltd.', which was previously in charge of ope...rating the club, had its name changed to Yomiuri Giants Co., Ltd. The away uniform's logo was changed from TOKYO to YOMIURI, the parent company's name, which was displayed on the front, and the uniform number font was changed to an Impact font. However, the uniform number font returned to the original font in 2004.
But even calling the team name Yomiuri in the first place, Giants' fans, who really hated this uniform with Yomiuri on the front, hated it with a passion that they even protested by holding signs that said, "We are not Yomiuri fans! We are Giants fans!" The away kit's reputation was so bad that the uniform was eventually discontinued in 2004, effectively permanently retiring the Yomiuri logo on the front.
Apart from this, it is also the uniform worn when winning the 2002 Japan Series .
