City Connect is a brand name for a line of alternate uniforms made by Nike, Inc. for Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. The uniforms feature different color schemes, typefaces, and graphic elements compared with the teams' typical home and away uniforms. The uniforms are designed to reflect the cultural aspects of each team's home city.[1] According to the agreement, teams may rotate in a new jersey after three years to debut a new look.[2]

Of the MLB's 30 teams, 28 have a City Connect uniform. The New York Yankees (who traditionally do not wear an alternate uniform) and Oakland Athletics (who are in the process of moving to Las Vegas) are the only two teams without a City Connect uniform.

Teams

[edit]

Nike and MLB introduced the first round of City Connect uniforms during the 2021 season for seven teams, (Red Sox, Marlins, White Sox, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Giants, Dodgers). A second round debuted during the 2022 season for another seven teams (Nationals, Astros, Royals, Rockies, Angels, Brewers, Padres), a third during the 2023 season for six teams (Braves, Rangers, Mariners, Reds, Orioles, Pirates), and a fourth during the 2024 season for nine teams (Phillies, Mets, Rays, Tigers, Guardians, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Twins, Dodgers).[3]

Seven teams started wearing City Connect jerseys during the 2021 MLB season.

  • Arizona Diamondbacks, sand-colored with black letters and red numbers, and with "Serpientes" in front as an homage to Arizona's Hispanic community.[4]
  • Boston Red Sox, with a yellow base and blue letters as an homage to the Boston Marathon, which normally takes place on Patriots' Day.[5]
  • Chicago Cubs, dark blue with sky blue accents, with elements inspired by the flag of Chicago. The uniform has "Wrigleyville" on the front, in a lettering style similar to the Wrigley Field marquee.[6]

Jersey also includes black on the sleeves as a nod to street art culture in Los Angeles.[8] Cap was revised in 2022, moving the "Los Dodgers" to the side, replacing it with the traditional "LA" logo, and adding black to the brim and button.[9] In 2023, white pants with blue piping replaced the blue pants,[10] before being replaced by a new City Connect jersey the following year (see below).
  • Miami Marlins, with a red base, white pinstripes, and white letters with light blue trim as a tribute to the Cuban Sugar Kings.[11]

Reaction

[edit]

Boston.com conducted a poll of its readers in April 2021 and found a polarized reaction to the Red Sox's yellow and blue City Connect jerseys. About 49% of respondents said that they loved the new uniforms, about 36% said that they hated them, and about 9% chose the "I'm speechless" option.[48] After the Red Sox wore the City Connect uniforms for four consecutive games in September 2021, winning all four, manager Alex Cora said that the team would continue to wear them for as long as they kept winning. "I'm sorry, but if we continue winning, we've got to stay with them," Xander Bogaerts told NESN.[49]

A columnist for the San Francisco Examiner wrote in May 2022 that the Giants had a record of 12–2 in their City Connect jerseys. Although some fans derided their design as looking like an orange Creamsicle, fans eventually warmed to the jersey, increasingly wearing them to games on Tuesday nights, when the team typically wears their City Connect uniforms.[50]

Of the first 11 City Connect designs, USA Today's For the Win blog ranked the White Sox's uniform design as the best and the Giants' design as the worst.[51] In a July 2022 review ranking the first 14 uniform designs, ESPN's Joon Lee described the City Connect program as the league's boldest alternative jersey designs since the Turn Ahead the Clock promotions of the late 1990s. Lee rated the Rockies' City Connect uniforms as the best, and the Dodgers as the worst.[3]

The Padres' City Connect uniforms generated $240,000 in revenue at the team's official store on July 1, 2022, their first day of sale. The last time the team introduced a new alternative uniform, in 2020, the team store sold $73,000 worth of merchandise on launch day.[52]

Upon its announcement in 2023, the Texas Rangers' City Connect design met with polarized reactions from local sports media commentators and fans, particularly about the hybrid "Peagle" mascot that appeared on the uniform tops.[53][54][55][56]

Baltimore's City Connect design drew positive reviews for the colorful interior patterns, and also criticism for its mostly black, unadorned exterior.[57] The Orioles' players liked the look of their City Connect uniforms.[58]

Of the 20 designs that were announced during the first three seasons of City Connect, Joon Lee ranked the Orioles' design 20th, noting comparisons to Great Britain's generic uniforms at the 2023 World Baseball Classic. Lee rated the Rockies' design as the best.[59] Three writers for The Athletic voted on their preferences among the first 20 City Connect designs. The Giants' and Rangers' designs tied for last place; the White Sox were rated as the best.[60]
