Don't be surprised if the Comerica Park stands are filled with green, maroon and black instead of the classic navy blue and orange.

The Tigers are rolling out five different Michigan college-colored baseball caps this season. Michigan, Michigan State, Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan and Oakland University are the five schools included in the promotion. In addition, each school has a promotional night at Comerica Park.

While the Old English 'D' remains front and center, the school's logo is on the left side of the cap. The 'D' is colored the school's secondary color while the cap itself is the primary color. 

While they're bound to be a hot sell, something about a green-and-white Tigers cap is just odd.
