"We wanted to land on significant dates as well as cool uniforms that were different," Reds chief operating officer Phil Castellini said. "I just didn't want to see a sea of white ones and gray ones. That's why we picked the blue and the red pants and the scripts and different logos. It really was a nice way to spread those history nuggets that go from the turn of the century all the way to the '90s."

Some of the design inspiration feature chrome bezel, meant to represent Bryce's power as a player, and tie back to his love of classic American muscle cars. Under Armour also drew inspiration from the Daytona leather jacket, which is a staple in Bryce's wardrobe, inspired the ribbed stitching on the Harper 3 upper.
“It’s so fun and rewarding to see how the Harper cleats evolve each year. They keep getting better with every iteration. When I wear them, or see other athletes and kids wearing them, it’s a constant reminder of where I came from and what I’m out here playing for. I couldn’t ask for more from Under Armour and I’m so excited to share the Harper 3 with the world.” - Bryce Harper
