Hiroshima Toyo Carp organizational updates

Overview

The Hiroshima Toyo Carp are implementing various technological and aesthetic updates. In September 2026, the club partnered with Berise Co., Ltd. and Data Stadium Inc. to conduct a demonstration experiment at MAZDA Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima. This project tested a next-generation spectator experience using augmented reality (AR) glasses, allowing fans to view real-time game data, such as scores and player statistics, superimposed on their field of vision.

In October 2026, the club unveiled new visitor uniforms for the 2027 season, representing the first major redesign in four years. The design utilizes navy blue and a specific shade of light blue intended to evoke the team’s ‘golden era’ from the 1980s. The club also introduced a pricing strategy for replica uniforms, setting them at 8,500 yen during a pre-sale period, a rate noted to be lower than several other NPB teams.
