2025 D-Backs Giveaway Rankings
2nd annual!
Last season the Diamondbacks massively stepped up their promotional schedule with several bobbleheads, jerseys, hats, creative t-shirts & unique items like the NLCS Champ ring. Last year’s power rankings can be found here for a trip down memory lane.
While there’s likely more to be announced (almost no promos for August/Sept announced yet), here are my power rankings so far!
#1 Eugenio Suárez Bobblehead (April 12th vs MIL)
Unlike last year and the incredible NLCS ring, there’s nothing that is a runaway #1 for me, but Eugenio Suarez takes the #1 spot for a couple reasons.
The other 3 players with bobbleheads, have already had a bobblehead.
The only bobblehead with a photo, but it’s a really good bobblehead. Looks like Geno, there’s an exact play this is from too.
Added bonus for being an early season bobblehead and we won’t be waiting in line in 115 degree heat! (Hopefully)
#2 Replica Home Jersey Giveaway (5/17 vs COL)
Once you get past the fact that this “ARIZONA” script is used on the grey road jerseys and not the white/cream home jerseys, you have to admit this a really clean jersey. I’m not a big fan of the jersey handouts because usually they’re unique colors (As you’ll see later), so it’s cool to see this.
#3 Geraldo Perdomo Bobblehead (5/31 vs WAS)
Season ticket holders last year received a limited edition Geraldo Perdomo bobblehead that was incredible. It was of him hitting, so as the silhouette shows in the photo, I hope this bobble is of Domo making a play at SS.
#4 Star Wars Day + Corbin Carroll Rebel Pilot Bobblehead (8/9 vs COL)
Might be an unpopular opinion having this one 4th, but my issue is that I’m kind over the Star Wars bobbleheads. There’s been A LOT of them so far. Granted Carroll has already had a bobblehead of him running, I’d rather have another one of him hitting or fielding. Star Wars Day is just really overdone at this point.
#5 Ketel Marte Bobblehead (7/19 vs STL)
The Ketel Marte switch hitting bobblehead was peak, then we got another Ketel one last year…. so now we’re getting Ketel bobblehead round 3? I love Ketel… but we’ve done a lot of Ketel Marte bobbleheads.
#6 Mother's Day Crossbody Bag (5/11 vs LA)
This is actually a really useful promotion as Chase Field has a clear bag policy. My wife would love this, definitely one of the better Mother’s Day promos they’ve done.
#7 Father's Day Polo (6/15 vs SD)
Honestly the Hawaiian shirts on Father’s Day were so iconic, but the polo is probably more useful. I always worry about quality though….
You can also purchase a VIP package to play catch on the field too, which is a really cool experience.
#8 Patriotic Tee (7/5 vs KC)
Very clean shirt, but kinda weird they’re doing the promo Saturday 7/5 and not the 4th of July game on Friday? The Diamondbacks Patriotic tee over the years has been sneaky the one I’ve worn the most.
#9 Memorial Day Red Poppy Cap (5/26 vs PIT)
Giveaway hats in general have usually been disappointing and low quality, but if this one is made nicely, it would be a really cool hat. My fear of the hats just being bad quality keeps it this low for me.
#10 Topps Trading Card Pack (8/4 vs SD)
I don’t care how old you are, getting a pack of baseball cards is always cool.
#11 Opening Day Rally Towel
Rally towel are cool, nothing like a loud crowd with everyone waiving their rally towels.
#12 Teal Replica Jersey (4/26 vs ATL)
This reminds me too much of the little league jerseys they hand out to kids. I know they’re trying to make teal happen, but this jersey doesn’t look like the Diamondbacks. I really hope this isn’t what the new alternate jerseys look like….
#13 Ketel Marte Hat (6/14 vs SD)
Surprised this wasn’t for kids, reminds me of the Goldy hat they gave away of his swing.
THINGS THAT STOOD OUT TO ME
-ZERO kids only promos. Keep in mind the kids club does have a lot of cool prizes for kids, so maybe those ideas stay there.
-No Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly or any SP promotions???
-A lot less t-shirts than last year.
-No specialty item, just shirts, bobbleheads and hats….
-August/September is empty, so more promos have to be coming.
-No mention of D-Backs Hall of Fame? Gonzo/RJ day was really cool last season, but no mention of the new HOF?
-Friday Fireworks are back! Here are the confirmed games as the roof is now able to open (safely) with people inside Chase Field:
3/28 vs Cubs
4/11 vs Brewers
4/25 vs Braves (With postgame country concert by Scotty Hasting)
5/16 vs Rockies
7/3 vs SF & 7/4 vs KC July 4th themes firework SPECTACULAR
I’d imagine they annouce more firework dates as the season goes on.
-There’s a lot more “special ticket packages” where you only get the promo if you buy a special ticket, which I think is incredibly lame. Here are those for 2025 in order:
