You can actually see the Yokohama BayStars new "uni's" on the BayStars' official website. Uchikawa is "modeling" the home uniform, while Kobayashi does the same with the road uniform. Not too bad to look at, a little getting used to, maybe; but if it's going to change the season around next year, I am all for it!

NPBTracker made a post with links to both teams new uniforms which you can view here.
I will say that the BayStars have adopted the Dallas Cowboys' colors of the NFL. Not to mention the logo as well. Because on the front of the official 2009 calender (which I received yesterday) there is a huge closeup shot of a huge star on the left sleeve of the jersey.
Nevertheless, it will take some time to get used to the new jerseys of both teams.

Considering last year's Marines uniform disaster, I'd said the BayStars and Carp did all right.
I really like the BayStars' new cap logo, but it's too bad they are usually navy now. There are too many dark-colored cap teams in the league.
Both uniforms are cool, but it's a shame the collar thing is quite ugly. It's particularly a shame for the road uniform, which is an awesome upgrade over the previous one. It's just nice to actually see a team with their city's name on their jersey, especially in this country.
The Carp did a good job, even if they didn't really need to change uniforms. Still, both uniforms look sharp, even if I'm a bit upset that they dropped the gray road jersey.
Quite frankly, anything is better than those horrible inter-league jerseys (coughHANSHINcough).

The Carp's new jerseys look nice and conservative. A sharp-looking solid red for the away jersey, and white for the home jersey. These look more like the Red Sox third and home jerseys than anything else, but they still look great. Need I remind us of the Lotte away jerseys that were unveiled last year? Shudders.
The BayStars new jerseys look like their inter-league jerseys the last few years. Black hats with blue trim. The home jersey, what with the patch on another side of the chest, gives it more of a soccer jersey look. No more pinstripes on the home jerseys, too. The away jersey is gray with blue trim, but they made the odd decision to put pinstripes on the away jersey, which looks oddly enough like a home jersey. If there's gray to be had, I can't see any. Also, pinstripes on an away jersey? Who would see them?
My verdict is that both new jerseys look good. Can't be as bad as the gradient Lotte away jerseys last year, Hanshin's 2007 inter-league jerseys, or the Hawks' third jersey. Pardon me while I go barf at even thinking of those jerseys.
