I'm probably the only Patriots fan who doesn't like those uniforms. I don't mind them as throwbacks but I don’t want to see them return full time. It's probably because I relate those uniforms to being on the ass end of one of the biggest ass whoopings in Super Bowl history and those God awful late 80s/early 90s teams that were the biggest embarrassment in the league. They didn't start getting respectable until they switched uniforms (and hired Bill Parcells  ). Furthermore the name Patriots references the American army who fought the British for our independence. That army wore blue. The BRITISH wore red. It makes no sense! I love the Pat Patriots jerseys, but I had a feeling that there were some bad memories (specifically Super Bowl XX) that were affiliated with those jerseys and thus wouldn't be wanted regularly. I do get that, and the modern Patriot look is obviously associated with their dynasty, but man, the old school AFC logos and looks were so much more fun than the current stuff. Ever since the league made teams run everything through the league office and kind of started creating a lot more uniformity in that kind of stuff, the NFL's aesthetics lost a lot of luster to me. Meantime, two more City Connect jerseys so far in MLB this season: Atlanta and Texas. Atlanta's was ok, but too much of just a throwback to their blue jerseys. They have some nice homages to Hank Aaron on them, but they already wear their retro jerseys as alternates sometimes, so it feels like a missed chance to try something more interesting. Texas went kind of out there with a white top and black pants; feel like I need to see them in action before I can safely say how I feel about them. |

I hated the Cubs City Connect jerseys at first, but they have grown on me. I still want to get a hat. When they were first dropped, I was told at one of the shops around Wrigley that they were sold out and wouldn't get any in until after the season at the earliest. I was amazed. Of course, now that they are more readily available, I still haven't gotten one. LOL |

https://www.instagram.com/p/CrlYwYfr5yQ Seattle’s City Connect effort. I like the trident hat and the nod to the Pilots on the jersey. Hate the black pants. White with blue and yellow stripes would work but I’d have done yellow pants with blue double stripes. Overall not bad. |

Here are my City Connect uniform rankings:
BEST OF THE BEST
Miami Marlins - Exceedingly cool and a great tribute to old-school Miami baseball. I'm glad they strayed away from the "Miami Vice" color scheme that has been seen in the myriad of Miami Heat alternate uniforms.
Washington Nationals - Everything that City Connect should be. Unique to the city, and a total departure from the current uniform design. I think it would've been better if the pink of the cherry blossom were the primary color, but it's still really good.
Colorado Rockies - Like the Nationals, it embraces the city and state and doesn't wrap itself in the team's default color scheme. It's almost too green, but I give them credit for trying something new rather than playing it safe, which, unfortunately, too many City Connect uniforms do.
GREAT, BUT NOT ELITE
San Diego Padres - They're just fun. It's a perfect color scheme for a laid-back beach city like San Diego and it pairs well with the current iteration of the Padres, who are branding themselves as the next generation of baseball.
Boston Red Sox - As a Red Sox fan, I initially retched when these debuted, but I've warmed to them. I didn't love the idea of using the Boston Marathon, and what it has meant to Boston residents since 2013, to sell merchandise, but aesthetically, they are what City Connect should be - wholly unique.
GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT
Houston Astros - Extremely cool, but loses points for having the same colors as the team's primary uniform. Had they gone with any other color scheme, this one probably vaults up to first or second.
Milwaukee Brewers - So good it should be their default uniform, but it loses standing in the City Connect rankings because it utilizes the team's regular colors.
Chicago White Sox - They're intensely badass, but they also could just double as normal White Sox alternates. I was hoping for something a little more different than black, grey, and white.
Kansas City Royals - As a standard uniform, it might be the best of the bunch, but like the Brewers, it loses a little luster for looking like a standard Royals alternate jersey.
FINE, BUT SOMETHING'S MISSING
Seattle Mariners - I love the color scheme, and it could serve as a nice tribute throwback (or "fauxback" like those blue uniforms the Rays wore in 2012), but it loses slight points for the black pants. As you'll find, I'd prefer the uniforms be monochromatic in color or have simple white pants.
San Francisco Giants - Fun, but a little lifeless. Of all the things that say "San Francisco," they chose fog? And while I like making bright orange the color of choice, at the end of the day, it is still just one of the Giants' primary colors.
Texas Rangers - They're not boring, which to me is the ultimate sin of City Connect jerseys. But what they are is VERY ugly. As I've said, I don't love the pairing of mismatched uniform tops and pants. But, ugly is at least creative in this regard, which is more than I can say for the bottom four.
PLAYED IT TOO SAFE
Baltimore Orioles - I love what the uniforms represent - that from the outside, people have a dim view of Baltimore, but if you look closer there's something colorful and unique about the city - but I don't know how well that reflects in the jersey itself. Unless the sleeves are rolled up or the jersey is unbuttoned, it just appears to be a plain black uniform with white font. But for what it represents, I'll give it the edge outside of the "Boring and Lifeless" category.
Los Angeles Angels - Very cool, embraces California lifestyle, but it looks like a borderline standard home uniform. Why not get fun with it? It's supposed to be this outside-the-box alternate uniform, and they just go with cream white.
Chicago Cubs - Meh. I mean, they're just fine, but nothing about them says "the North Side of Chicago" to me. They're too safe, when the Cubbies could've had a lot of fun with their iconic imagery like the brick, ivy, scoreboard, or marquee.
Atlanta Braves - At the end of the day, it's indecipherable from what a 70s-era Braves throwback would look like. It's visually appealing, but man is it a snooze from a creativity standpoint.
BORING AND LIFELESS
Los Angeles Dodgers - Just plain boring. The Dodgers did nothing to embrace southern California or Los Angeles, they simply took their standard uniform and inversed the color scheme.
Arizona Diamondbacks - Easily the worst, because it's so uninspired. The colors are the same as the D-Backs' current colors, and really all that changed was they tweaked the name on the uniform.

Of course, now that they are more readily available, I still haven't gotten one. LOL Like I said, visiting Wrigley and actually seeing people walking around the stands wearing them, I began to realize "oh, these are actually pretty good". Not among the best that have been released so far, but given how standard the Cubs' look is, a new wrinkle like that really stands out. I want to like the new Seattle one more than I do; I love a lot of the ideas, but the execution feels a bit lacking in some places, and agreed that yellow pants would've given the overall uniform a more interesting dynamic. Still, if I was a M's fan I'd be all over picking up on of those trident hats, and the shoutout to the Pilots is pretty cool. |

Almost all of the city connect uniforms are outright terrible. The only one that I really like is Colorado. The White Sox one is okay. The rest 👎
Apparently the Orioles one got leaked and if it’s what was shown and it’s the laziest thing imaginable. 😂

The rest 👎 Apparently the Orioles one got leaked and if it’s what was shown and it’s the laziest thing imaginable. 😂 That's perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the City Connect experiment. The first uniform unveiled was Boston, and after seeing the Red Sox in blue and yellow, it felt like anything was possible. But after two-plus years, a majority are either uninspired remixes on the team's current color scheme or outright boring. I get that Nike and Major League Baseball didn't want to go all the way over the top like the infamous "Turn Ahead the Clock" jerseys of the 1990s, but they're been shockingly conservative with the rollout of City Connect since it debuted. These things are supposed to be fun and identifiable with the home city, but instead they're just borderline alternate jerseys. |

The Orioles unveiled their City Connect uniforms, and the earlier leaks were proven accurate.
I love what the uniforms represent - that from the outside, people have a dim view of Baltimore, but if you look closer there's something colorful and unique about the city - but I don't know how well that reflects in the jersey itself. The concept of "this jersey sucks to look at, but it's a lot cooler up close," doesn't seem like it'll sell all that well.

Speaking as a Midwesterner and a Cleveland fan who's used to people talking shit about any combo of Cleveland/Detroit/Pittsburgh because lol rust belt lol your river caught on fire and other similarly-uninspired pointlessness, I totally get the sentiment, but like you said, I'm just not sure that's something that can be translated to a uniform very well. And yeah, so many of the city connect jerseys are coming off like just a very... safe version of all the minor league teams that have goofy full-on alternate identities and jerseys. |

I appreciate that the O's kit clearly had thought put into it, and I think a lot of fans there will gravitate towards it: actually having a jersey with the city name on it, the B cap, and the "keep the top button undone and roll the sleeves up a bit to see the colors" thing will be a pretty big hit. But yeah, as an on-field look? I'm not as sure. Plus, combine that with the Reds' Connect rollout: www.mlb.com/news/reds-city-connect-uniforms-unveiledThe "all black from top to bottom" look is getting played out; it's like people got nostalgic for the onslaught of black unis in the late 90s and suddenly want them back (e.g. a lot of my fellow Mets fans who, like me, were pretty young when the Mets rolled out their black unis back then) and then some. The White Sox's one is fantastic, but I'm just not as sure on these. I won't say either is bad, especially since, again, I appreciate that thought did seem to go into Baltimore's plan, but there's seriously so much more that could be done with a lot of these. I don't need every look to be as crazy/non-traditional as San Diego's or Boston's, but c'mon now. I'll still say that the top five in the collection so far are Miami, San Diego, Angels, White Sox, and probably Colorado. |

Various uni-related announcements… Pirates City Connect  Lazy. All the sublimated BS doesn’t hide the lazy efforts. I love the black and gold Pirates unis but for City Connect it could have been more. Lions blue alternate helmets  The good news is they look cool and would look good with their white jerseys, IMO. Unfortunately since NFL stands for No Fun League you can only wear the alternate helmets with the alternate uniform so we get this:  Yuck Flyers new unis  Nothing big here, besides the orange shade returning to what it was before. The away and alternate uniforms are largely the same besides the orange changing. Credit to Uni Watch for the pics. |

With the final City Connect jerseys being released for the 2023 season, here's my updated rankings until we see the next batch unveiled in 2024:
Here are my City Connect uniform rankings:
BEST OF THE BEST
Miami Marlins - Exceedingly cool and a great tribute to old-school Miami baseball. I'm glad they strayed away from the "Miami Vice" color scheme that has been seen in the myriad of Miami Heat alternate uniforms.

Pittsburgh Pirates - They were kind of hamstrung here. They couldn't depart from black and gold, which are the colors of the city of Pittsburgh, not just the Pirates. But it's just too similar to the current uniform set for my liking. Even one color different than black and gold could have gone a long way in improving this in my rankings.
Cincinnati Reds - Dangerously close to the "Boring and Lifeless" category. They relied way too heavily on black for black's sake, the colors are identical to the current uniform set, and the only real departure from their history is a change to the "C" logo. It's essentially an alternate jersey, and way too conservative for what City Connect is supposed to represent.
Atlanta Braves - At the end of the day, it's indecipherable from what a 70s-era Braves throwback would look like. It's visually appealing, but man is it a snooze from a creativity standpoint.

A bunch of NFL uniform news has come out in the past month or so. New Helmets:Broncos new white helmets  Looks better than the blue with the Color Rush unis, but still wish they'd do a proper throwback. Browns new white helmets  I really like this "throwback" to the Browns' original helmets from the leather hat era. Alternate UniformColts blue alt and black helmet  Why? Throwbacks!I'll just post the pictures.Love, love, love all of them    |

Every team that has a City Connect jersey has unveiled them - Oakland and the Yankees are not part of the program - so with 28 of 30 in the books, it's time to update my running list of each of MLB's wacky new jerseys as part of the City Connect program. (Note: the Dodgers are apparently unveiling a new City Connect later this year, so when that comes, I'll update accordingly.) Here's the ranking as of June 2024:
1. Miami Marlins - Exceedingly cool and a great tribute to old-school Miami baseball. I'm glad they strayed away from the "Miami Vice" color scheme that has been seen in the myriad of Miami Heat alternate uniforms.
2. Washington Nationals - Everything that City Connect should be. Unique to the city, and a total departure from the current uniform design. I think it would've been better if the pink of the cherry blossom were the primary color, but it's still really good.
3. Colorado Rockies - Like the Nationals, it embraces the city and state and doesn't wrap itself in the team's default color scheme. It's almost too green, but I give them credit for trying something new rather than playing it safe, which, unfortunately, too many City Connect uniforms do.
4. San Diego Padres - They're just fun. It's a perfect color scheme for a laid-back beach city like San Diego and it pairs well with the current iteration of the Padres, who are branding themselves as the next generation of baseball.
5. Boston Red Sox - As a Red Sox fan, I initially retched when these debuted, but I've warmed to them. I didn't love the idea of using the Boston Marathon, and what it has meant to Boston residents since 2013, to sell merchandise, but aesthetically, they are what City Connect should be - wholly unique.
6. Minnesota Twins - Entirely unique and unlike anything the organization has ever rolled out, which is what City Connect is supposed to be. They're fun, bright, and loud, and a breath of fresh air after so many dull black and grey concepts in 2023 and 2024.
7. Chicago White Sox - They're intensely badass, but they also could just double as normal White Sox alternates. I was hoping for something a little more different than black, grey, and white.
8. Houston Astros - Extremely cool, but loses points for having the same colors as the team's primary uniform. Had they gone with any other color scheme, this one probably vaults up to first or second.
9. Toronto Blue Jays - I don't love the dark uniform and matching dark pants aesthetic, but in this instance, it really works. The blue and red really pop off the dark-colored uniform base and I love the skyline aesthetic worked into the jersey top.
10. Kansas City Royals - As a standard uniform, it might be the best of the bunch, but like the Brewers, it loses a little luster for looking like a standard Royals alternate jersey.
11. Milwaukee Brewers - So good it should be their default uniform, but it loses standing in the City Connect rankings because it utilizes the team's regular colors.
12. Chicago Cubs - Meh. I mean, they're just fine, but nothing about them says "the North Side of Chicago" to me. They're too safe, when the Cubbies could've had a lot of fun with their iconic imagery like the brick, ivy, scoreboard, or marquee.
13. Philadelphia Phillies - Almost shot-for-shot exactly the same as the Mariners, so they lose points. I love the hat logo, but the letter and number fonts are tough to read on television and, again, it loses points for dark pants while slightly gaining points for the color gradient on the uniform tops.
14. Seattle Mariners - I love the color scheme, and it could serve as a nice tribute throwback (or "fauxback" like those blue uniforms the Rays wore in 2012), but it loses slight points for the black pants. As you'll find, I'd prefer the uniforms be monochromatic in color or have simple white pants.
15. San Francisco Giants - Fun, but a little lifeless. Of all the things that say "San Francisco," they chose fog? And while I like making bright orange the color of choice, at the end of the day, it is still just one of the Giants' primary colors.
16. Los Angeles Angels - Very cool, embraces California lifestyle, but it looks like a borderline standard home uniform. Why not get fun with it? It's supposed to be this outside-the-box alternate uniform, and they just go with cream white.
17. Pittsburgh Pirates - They were kind of hamstrung here. They couldn't depart from black and gold, which are the colors of the city of Pittsburgh, not just the Pirates. But it's just too similar to the current uniform set for my liking. Even one color different than black and gold could have gone a long way in improving this in my rankings.
18. St. Louis Cardinals - I should give it the same flack I give the Dodgers below - all they did was inverse the color scheme on the traditional jersey - but it's such a clean design that it works well. They obviously lose a lot of points for it just looking like a standard alternate jersey, but it works well because of the beautiful red and the birds on bat logo design.
19. Tampa Bay Rays - The neon accents and the terrific hat logo are the only things saving this from the bottom tier. They need to look at San Diego and how their City Connect uniforms incorporated fun and vibrancy into uniforms for a coastal team. Again, like the Mets, why does it have to be grey? It's just so, so bland and an 0-for-3 for 2024's rollout.
20. Texas Rangers - They're not boring, which to me is the ultimate sin of City Connect jerseys. But what they are is VERY ugly. As I've said, I don't love the pairing of mismatched uniform tops and pants. But, ugly is at least creative in this regard.
21. Baltimore Orioles - I love what the uniforms represent - that from the outside, people have a dim view of Baltimore, but if you look closer there's something colorful and unique about the city - but I don't know how well that reflects in the jersey itself. Unless the sleeves are rolled up or the jersey is unbuttoned, it just appears to be a plain black uniform with white font. But for what it represents, I'll give it the edge outside of the "Boring and Lifeless" category.
22. Cincinnati Reds - Dangerously close to the "Boring and Lifeless" category. They relied way too heavily on black for black's sake, the colors are identical to the current uniform set, and the only real departure from their history is a change to the "C" logo. It's essentially an alternate jersey, and way too conservative for what City Connect is supposed to represent.
23. Cleveland Indians - Much like the Braves and Pirates, it feels like an alternate throwback or faux-back like the Rays trotted out in the early part of the 2010s. Everything works well and it's nice on the eyes, but it's not particularly creative or unique.
24. New York Mets - They get points for at least thinking outside the box, which none of the uniforms below them can say, but couldn't they have tried harder? City Connect started out as such a fun, wild, outside-the-box concept with the yellow Red Sox jerseys, and now it just feels like everyone's doing some variation of black or grey.
25. Atlanta Braves - At the end of the day, it's indecipherable from what a 70s-era Braves throwback would look like. It's visually appealing, but man is it a snooze from a creativity standpoint.
26. Detroit Tigers - I've grown quite tired of the City Connect concept if all they're going to do is all black everything. This is quickly becoming a stagnant, boring concept and the Tigers' uniforms are a primary example of how far it's all fallen. We're a long way from the Nationals, Red Sox, Marlins, and Padres.
27. Arizona Diamondbacks - It's so uninspired. The colors are the same as the D-Backs' current colors, and really all that changed was they tweaked the name on the uniform and made the traditional white more of a sand color.
28. Los Angeles Dodgers - Just plain boring. The Dodgers did nothing to embrace southern California or Los Angeles, they simply took their standard uniform and inverted the color scheme, then made it even more lifeless by getting rid of the matching blue pants. So bad that the organization essentially discontinued it and will be unveiling a new City Connect in 2024.
