If you like the NBA’s city uniforms, I’ve got great news for you! Spoiler https://news.sportslogos.net/2021/0...ity-connect-uniform-series-for-2021/baseball/ This morning Nike has dropped its new “City Connect” series on the baseball world. Just one team will see their new City Connect uniform unveiled today at launch, the Boston Red Sox. Following this, the program will slowly expand across the rest of the league over the course of several seasons. “Developed in partnership with MLB Clubs, the Nike MLB City Connect series celebrates the bond between each team and its city,” reads the jointly-released statement which accompanied the announcement. “The uniform series explores the personality, values and customs that make each community and their residents unique. Building on the rich heritage of each Club, the City Connect series pushes the boundaries of baseball uniform design to create new traditions and help grow the game of baseball.” Today it’s just the Boston Red Sox, but as the 2021 season progresses six other teams will be revealed: the Miami Marlins will be next followed by the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers. “This process started with us wanting to be collaborative between the clubs and Nike to tell new stories and to bring new narratives to the teams that are meaningful to the community and to the players”, Nike Senior Creative Director Wil Green said in a conversation with SportsLogos.net. “That’s how we’ve started every project with this series. We have a conversation with the team and ask what is important to the team? To the fans? To the players? And then start to unpack what’s meaningful to them.” Yes, we will see several more Major League teams, in addition to the seven releasing in 2021, join the program and begin to introduce their City Connect uniforms in subsequent seasons. Each of these new uniforms can (and presumably will) be worn multiple times during the year and will be carried over and worn over a period of three seasons. “We decided to stagger the release of the jerseys with a limited amount, instead of doing the whole league at one time. This way we can truly let the teams celebrate the stories that they’ll be unveiling, and giving them the opportunities then to celebrate their uniqueness through these uniform programs,” Green said. “Next year, you will see more teams roll out but really giving them the space and the opportunity to breathe.”
Or said another way, I now have another reason to hate the Yankees. BTW, I think this is a bad move for NYY, but the rest of the league will benefit
In other sh!tty MLB news (dear god those uniforms are pure assclownery), Fernando Tatis Jr dislocated his shoulder swinging the bat last night. Possible partial labrum tear, is weighing season ending surgery. This isn't his first shoulder problem, and it could have career implications. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.co...atis-jr-injury-shoulder-padres-doctor-surgery
What are yall talking about? I like the jankees a little bit now. I hope odor starts every game for them and continues to bat .150.
True, but that was a lot of easy outs on a team we play a bunch! If he was actually not injured enough to play, that is. Lol
Feel bad for him. He’s such a great young star. This is also a perfect example of why giving out a 10+ year deal is almost never a good idea, even if it’s for a 23 year old stud. You just never know what can happen that all of a sudden makes that a really awful contract.
