The lining of the suit is glimpsed with the colorful national flags of each country.
Yuya Mori, a catcher who has decided to exercise FA rights from Seibu and transfer to Orix, held a joining press conference at a hotel in Osaka on the 26th. He talked regarding his commitment to his jersey number and his attachment to his hometown, but on this day, it was the flashy suit lining that caused the most excitement at the venue.
Admiring Cardinals’ famous catcher, Molina, he chose the uniform number “4”. At the end of the interview, the uniform was unveiled, but the moment the jacket was taken off, the venue was surrounded by a commotion.
The lining of the suit has a flashy pattern with colorful national flags scattered around. GM Fukura, who was also present, mightn’t help but exclaim, “Oh!”
When asked regarding the lining of the suit following finishing the joining press conference, Mori said with a wry smile, “Please don’t do that~”. When he was asked by a photographer to take a picture, he said, “I don’t like it. I can’t do it (laughs).”
