In tribute to the Dallas Black Giants of the Negro Leagues, the Frisco RoughRiders will don Dallas Black Giants-inspired uniforms for select games in the 2025 season. From the early 1900s into their heyday in the 1920s and 30s, the Dallas Black Giants played host to an entertaining, loud, fast-paced style of baseball synonymous with the Negro Leagues legends of the time. Future Hall of Famer Ernie Banks highlighted a long list of alumni who donned uniforms in downtown Dallas for the Black Giants.
In 2024, the RoughRiders are thrilled to partner with the TBAAL 7th Annual Riverfront Jazz Festival as they take the field as the Dallas Black Giants on Sunday, June 16th. Join us at Riders Field for entertainment, ticket giveaways and more!
Enjoy jazz, R&B, soul, blues, neo-soul and more! Visit tbaal.org for more information about The Black Academy of Arts and Letters.
