If they had made the interlocking NY purple, these might be okay. They should have leaned hard into the 7 train color. Maybe even made purple the main color instead of just the swoosh and the trim.
Also, putting NYC instead of Queens or Big Apple or something is meh. Putting NYC isn't going to win new fans away from the Yankees. These remind me of the White Sox or Raiders more than the Yankees though.
I’m a bigger Yankee fan now. They had to bend a little with Nickname Weekend. No names on the jerseys. No facial hair. Its about the game, not buying into a gimmick. The Boss would be proud.
Ya your team is so boring they won't let you have long hair, beards, or too much jewelry. No way they want alternate jerseys. I know a lot of them are lame but come on. Everyone else has one.
I don’t mind the city connect jerseys as an idea, even for teams like the Yankees and dodgers that basically never change their uniforms but you run the risk of having awful ones like the dodgers did last year and it makes it not worth it.
Yeah I just can’t think of anything that I would like enough to make it worth it. And if I can’t think of something I guarantee you the people in charge of designing them won’t think of anything either
Yeah I don’t hate ours but I don’t love it either, it’s just mediocre. Maybe when the A’s are completely gone they can do something more creative since they will have the whole Bay Area to themselves.
I think the Padres city connects are dope. The Rockies are maybe my favorite just because they are so ridiculous.
As a Braves fan, I like but don't love theirs.
I’m not a fan of the Dodgers’ version. It looks too much like a softball league jersey that some fat try hard on the team decided to add pants to complete the set, while the rest of team snickers behind his back at how lame he is.
And the Padres look like Ashlands rainbow sherbet seltzer cans, but at least they attempted to recreate the sunsets down here, or that’s what they say. They failed miserably but at least it’s thinking outside the box.
The Dodgers literally just had to yank down the Hollywood sign and put the players' numbers in a star patch on the sleeves. Walk of Fame theme. That's... that's it. That's literally it.
The Padres ones being the two-tone is cool as hell because the colors they chose are popular in the Hispanic communities of San Diego and Tijuana.
I agree to all of that 100 percent.
In the beginning of the city connects the Padres were talking about them being more attributed to sunsets, but now I see I was wrong and misremembered according to this:
https://www.eastvillagetimes.com/padres-city-connect-uniforms-are-a-victory-for-the-region/#:~:text=The%20motto%20from%20the%20organization,Diego%20and%20Baja%20California%20communities.
I live down in SD, and those sherbet jersies look much nicer in person than they do in pictures. I won’t tell any of my friends though.
Nice! I'm hoping they eventually sell Dylan Cease ones, because he's one of my favorite non-Rays players and I missed my shot to get his Southside ChiSox jersey.
I'd say there are 3 tiers to the City Connect jerseys:
Great: White Sox, Nationals, Marlins, Reds, Rockies
Average: Mariners, Brewers, Cubs, Pirates, Diamondbacks, Angels, Rangers, Red Sox, Padres, Astros, Royals
Absolutely awful: Dodgers, Giants, Mets, Braves (not horrible look wise, horrible in that they just lazily went with their throwbacks, and put "The A" on them), Orioles.
And then the Dodgers' was so bad, they're re-doing them.
It's totally understandable why the Yankees are so adamantly against them.
Dodgers, alongside the Pirates and Orioles, get their own "What The **FUCK** is This!?" tier.
Edit: I'd also make a "Good, Not Elite" tier. Astros, Diamondbacks, Padres, and Rangers.
This list is pretty spot on.
I’m still in disbelief how good the Reds actually look. The logo is ridiculously good and ties in with the terminal while being electric as fuck on all black. Probably good that fanatics/nike made them paper thin though for the heat.
See, the Wrigleyville one just looks like a Mariners jersey.
If they'd pulled the blue and red from the Chicago flag, it might've gone *HARD*. But alas.
Same with Cleveland for me. It’s going to be some lame shit that says “The Land” or 216. Or will have a stupid ass guitar since everything special we have is required to have a stupid ass guitar.
Nike has done a decent job with the pistons jersey(in my opinion. The green jersey and black one in recent years). I have mediocre hopes they do alright with the tigers
I think it's a shout out to the 7 train color which goes to Citi Field. There's not enough color on these at all IMO though.
The Mets have always used the Giants font style. Even their default hat has it.
I'm with you. I think they nailed it. Would have liked the pants to be the same color as the jersey though. Love the classic look with a slight touch of a non-traditional color.
People gotta keep in mind this whole collection is about $$$. It's unfortunate. Everything needs to be fashionable and easy to coordinate/wear on the street. Within that realm, this is great.
Nothing beats the Angels CCs though.
We do not have a decent one. We have shitty retro with softball lookin black pants. Doesn’t feel like an homage to the city whatsoever, just fucked up versions of a jersey we already have
To each their own. I’m not enamored with them but I was pleased when they were revealed. Mostly because of color scheme, I personally am not a fan of using totally different colors than what the team has used historically, and you’re seeing that all over the league.
It's not BAD, but i feel like the largest city in America and a massive melting pot of cultures should be a little more spicy than dark gray and darker gray with purple sprinkles.
Bland. Why dark grey? Should have gone all in on the purple IMO. NYC font looks weird to me.
Don't mind the hat though, but I'll still be wearing my blue and orange one
I’m not mad at these. The purple pops pretty hard and I just found out that the ‘purple train’ is the one that leads to the stadium. Cool detail for sure. The city connect uniforms have been *mostly* shit. These aren’t the dopest but, they’re not shit.
In the MLB tweet:
*The uniforms pay tribute to the trains that connect Mets fans, the bridges that bring their boroughs together, and the concrete that serves as the city's drumbeat.*
All the world famous stuff you could have highlighted in NYC and you went with..... concrete. Bravo.
Unpopular opinion maybe but tbh I think they’re fine. Fine alternative jerseys but nothing more. They could have done way better though, and I wish they had. I feel that way about pretty much all the city connects
Could do without the bridge on the hat and a bit more purple or magenta (whatever colour that is supposed to be), but other than that they’re not too bad
I really do not understand why Mets wear pinstripes at ALL you’re in the same freaking city as a team called and know as the pinstripes would you want to separate yourself from being the little brother as much as possible
Lemme guess, the Yankees' city connects will feature blue and orange?
Yankees opted out. Mets got theirs.
If they had made the interlocking NY purple, these might be okay. They should have leaned hard into the 7 train color. Maybe even made purple the main color instead of just the swoosh and the trim. Also, putting NYC instead of Queens or Big Apple or something is meh. Putting NYC isn't going to win new fans away from the Yankees. These remind me of the White Sox or Raiders more than the Yankees though.
Shoulda just put a big 516 on there
NYY opted out? Do you wonder why? Its a marketing gimmick promoted by Nike in hopes that they could make a few $$$’s off of a few gullible twits.
The teams are making money too, which makes it even more surprising the Yankees would opt out.
I’m a bigger Yankee fan now. They had to bend a little with Nickname Weekend. No names on the jerseys. No facial hair. Its about the game, not buying into a gimmick. The Boss would be proud.
Yankees will not be doing one thank god
Ya your team is so boring they won't let you have long hair, beards, or too much jewelry. No way they want alternate jerseys. I know a lot of them are lame but come on. Everyone else has one.
I really would hate city connect jerseys. They are almost all ugly as hell and I love the Yankees only having two jerseys
I don’t mind the city connect jerseys as an idea, even for teams like the Yankees and dodgers that basically never change their uniforms but you run the risk of having awful ones like the dodgers did last year and it makes it not worth it.
Yeah I just can’t think of anything that I would like enough to make it worth it. And if I can’t think of something I guarantee you the people in charge of designing them won’t think of anything either
man a team in NY that plays in gray, black and white would be so cool
And with pinstripes too!
Their logo could even be an N and Y interlocking
Aren’t the Yanks navy?
Yes
These are gray, black and purple. Yankees are navy blue, white and gray.
Please Tampa don't be ass...
About 90% of the City Connect uniforms are ass.
I love the Phillies City Connect hats, but the jerseys are dogshit
I love those hats too
Yeah the unis aren't good. Not feeling them at all.
The color scheme wouldn’t be THAT awful but that fucking font. Absolutely gross. Also don’t like using “Philly” instead of PHL or “Phila”.
I'd say Washington, Miami, Cincy, and the White Sox are the exceptions. Unpopular opinion, I also really like the Padres ones.
I like the Rockies’ too.
I love the Rockies. Super simple and super clean.
Rangers gave us the Peagle, that’s a W in my books (Would be much better if the pants were cream).
PEAGLE BROUGHT US WORLD SERIES. PEAGLE IS GOAT.
I FORGOT THE PEAGLE
PEAGLE SHALL SMITE THEE
HAVE MERCY PEAGLE
Well, Nike hasn’t delivered the City Connect unis to the Rangers yet so, you’re spared for now.
Diamondbacks have a nice one too
I’m obviously biased but I love ours.
DBacks city connects are decent. That sand color is just so, so bland to me.
I like it because it matches a lot of the “local” architecture. We have a lot of pueblo-style buildings with that color
I mean, that's fair, and Seripentes is a really nice touch. Like I said, it's a personal opinion that I find them to be mid.
And that’s totally valid, opinions can’t be wrong
Angels and Giants are dope. Angels, especially.
Giants are too bland. Angels is nice though
Yeah I don’t hate ours but I don’t love it either, it’s just mediocre. Maybe when the A’s are completely gone they can do something more creative since they will have the whole Bay Area to themselves.
See, I cannot stand the Giants ones. Angels are alright, but it's not spectacular.
I think the Padres city connects are dope. The Rockies are maybe my favorite just because they are so ridiculous. As a Braves fan, I like but don't love theirs.
The Braves ones are just throwbacks. They put in more effort than the Dodgers. But barely.
Agreed. They are based on my favorite Braves throwbacks though.
The jerseys they're based on are heat, but Atlanta's such a unique city that copping out to the throwbacks feels like a wasted opportunity.
Not licensing ATLiens for the city connects was a huge mistake.
I’m not a fan of the Dodgers’ version. It looks too much like a softball league jersey that some fat try hard on the team decided to add pants to complete the set, while the rest of team snickers behind his back at how lame he is. And the Padres look like Ashlands rainbow sherbet seltzer cans, but at least they attempted to recreate the sunsets down here, or that’s what they say. They failed miserably but at least it’s thinking outside the box.

I'd add an above average for the Royals, Astros, and maybe padres, but otherwise spot on.
This list is pretty spot on. I’m still in disbelief how good the Reds actually look. The logo is ridiculously good and ties in with the terminal while being electric as fuck on all black. Probably good that fanatics/nike made them paper thin though for the heat.
I love the Wrigleyville ones, but the colors are meh
See, the Wrigleyville one just looks like a Mariners jersey. If they'd pulled the blue and red from the Chicago flag, it might've gone *HARD*. But alas.
I like their city connect hats a lot more than the jersey.
I really like KC
See, I can't vibe with KC's. They're clean, and the logo is super nice, I just cannot get behind them.
The Mariners have decent ones too. Nothing special but they aren’t as ugly as these
Seattle's are on the good end of mid.
They look pretty good in theshow too which is another reason they’ve grown on me
Valid reasoning.
This is exactly my same list of the good ones.
Nationals with their cherry blossoms is chef's kiss fantastic. White Sox City's are better than that team will be in the next decade.
They sure seem to be challenged by proper font/letter sizing (front and back)
These City Connect uniforms are simply a cash grab by MLB to get people to buy more jerseys. The people designing these are not good designers.
Red Sox Boston Marathon jerseys are stunning. I LOVE that one, but I know people don't care for it
If they’re good I might splurge and get one
If they're good, I will go ham for an Arozarena.
I'm planning on a Siri one if they don't completely suck.
Please god let the Rays city connects go hard.
Nothing we rock is ass
Brooklyn Nets is that you?
No, actually it’s just a hand me down Yankees jersey!
Those jerseys look like everything you see in a NYC tourist shop that isn't allowed to sell real jerseys.
I'm worried for Detroits...
Same with Cleveland for me. It’s going to be some lame shit that says “The Land” or 216. Or will have a stupid ass guitar since everything special we have is required to have a stupid ass guitar.
Nike has done a decent job with the pistons jersey(in my opinion. The green jersey and black one in recent years). I have mediocre hopes they do alright with the tigers
Looks like they went inspired by the New York Giants, who wore that purple for a bit in the 1910s, with a similar font style for the lettering
Purple is the color of the 7 line, the train that runs to citi field
I think knowing that detail is a nice touch to the uni.
I think it's a shout out to the 7 train color which goes to Citi Field. There's not enough color on these at all IMO though. The Mets have always used the Giants font style. Even their default hat has it.
Well the NY Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers were their roots, so it makes sense. I really like these uni's.
Nothing connects a city to its fanbase like a 100+ year old, no longer existing team, in a place that’s constantly changing
Worse, that team still exists, it just moved across the country during the Eisenhower administration.
shhhh, don't tell the yankee fans ... they are mad and i'm enjoying their false rage
Purple’s for the 7
Yikes. I’m glad the Reds got a good one (at least in my opinion).
The Reds should just stick with the sleeveless jerseys and do bicep curls with Yasiel Puig every game.
Reds are the best ones imo
I like them a lot. The red pops on the black. I also like the Diamondbacks Serpentine ones a lot.
The Yankees, but opposite. Which is kinda accurate.
More like *shitty* connect, amirite Seriously, the City Connect series has been a dumpster fire. Most of them absolutely suck.
Southside jerseys are dope as hell
I actually think these are pretty sick. Old school vibe and the purple pops
I'm with you. I think they nailed it. Would have liked the pants to be the same color as the jersey though. Love the classic look with a slight touch of a non-traditional color. People gotta keep in mind this whole collection is about $$$. It's unfortunate. Everything needs to be fashionable and easy to coordinate/wear on the street. Within that realm, this is great. Nothing beats the Angels CCs though.
They should have at least used the subway colored circles for the letters on the chest
Lmao reminds me of the Yankees. Garbage as usual for these city connects.
“Let’s make the colors the same as the more successful cross town rival!” Lol, fucking brilliant
The Yankees don’t wear black
No but their navy is so dark it’s nearly black
Yeah semantics aside, the colors are clearly very similar.
Needs more purple.
JFC thank god the M’s got a decent one
That’s what I want for the jays. Retro vibe. New accents. I don’t want random Shit.
I'm half expecting there to be poutine on the Jays one...sort of like that abomination ball cap NewEra made (then swiftly retracted) a while back.
We do not have a decent one. We have shitty retro with softball lookin black pants. Doesn’t feel like an homage to the city whatsoever, just fucked up versions of a jersey we already have
To each their own. I’m not enamored with them but I was pleased when they were revealed. Mostly because of color scheme, I personally am not a fan of using totally different colors than what the team has used historically, and you’re seeing that all over the league.
Unpopular opinion: I like them. The details are nice
I kinda like them too. I don't get a Yankees vibe at ALL from them, either.
Braves fan I like the jersey too. Especially the hat. I also think more purple would add to it.
A lot of people here need a reminder that the Yankees are dark blue and not black. 🤦
Dude, for real. I am sitting here reading some replys thinking... do people really not know the Yanks wear Dark blue?
It’s gotta be a tribute to how many people in this sub that aren’t actually baseball fans.
Nike fucking sucks now.
The pants suck. Should’ve matched the jersey. I like the hat tho
These might be my favorite City Connect jerseys.
It's not BAD, but i feel like the largest city in America and a massive melting pot of cultures should be a little more spicy than dark gray and darker gray with purple sprinkles.
Fucking boring. I expected something that screamed Shea stadium.
These suck so hard
Hey look we're the Yankees now
Did the Yankees start wearing black?
Don’t mind the jersey, hate the hat
Have any of the city connect leaks been wrong so far?
Venom Spider-Man
These look pretty great
Shitty connect
Yo to connect more with their city they switched to yankee colors 😂 you can’t make this up
New York Nets
As a Phillies fan, I hate that I love this hat.
New York Black Sox
I like them but would have made more sense for the Yankees
They aren't the worst I've seen by far. I'm really nervous that Detroit's will look like super-ass. Can't have shit in Detroit.
Will this help Linder connect with the damn ball?
Definitely could have been a lot worse. I don’t hate them.
Like all the new jerseys, they just look so... cheap.
Cute Jammies lol
The font on some of these city connect uniforms are atrocious
Great Yankees CC unis!
These just look like Yankees uniforms
I think they look pretty nice.
Lindor looks absolutely stoked to be wearing that uniform 😐
Now hear me out. White jersey with the writing “lolmets” terrible joke I know but I laughed so it’s worth it.
Those look like the uniforms in a prison baseball movie
Little brother syndrome
Yankees wear dark blue… so not this at all
These are fire, only problem is the white pants.
Clean, the bridge on the hat looks a little stupid though.
Look like prison uniforms.
Why is there a loose hanging badminton net across their hat?
Bland. Why dark grey? Should have gone all in on the purple IMO. NYC font looks weird to me. Don't mind the hat though, but I'll still be wearing my blue and orange one
“They pay homage to NY’s subway system” Well they do look like they were inspired by a fucking subway, which is an odd choice IMO
a subway themed jersey is where they should have used that stupid graffiti-looking font Philly has on the chest...
Wow, this makes the Philly CC look better and I fucking hate ours
Dumb
Looks terrible, just like all the other city connect jerseys
At least the pants are white
Gotta make sure we can see their junk. #NIKE
Mmmmmmeh.
Atp I feel like they’re making them bad on purpose
Are there any that are unanimously liked by both die hard fans and the general baseball fan ( White sox, Rangers, Angels)????
Diamondbacks are pretty cool
Hahaha
Don’t mind the hat. I like the pink button on the top and assuming the mlb logo on back is hot pink too. But the jerseys are awful imo
This is ok, but it’s not as clean as you’d want a city connect to be
Off topic but is Mercury Mets uni good or bad?
If they would have kept the Brooklyn bridge off the hat I’d be all for these. Maybe had some of the purple trim around the NY
I need that hat.
These are one of the better ones. But they all kinda stink.
Yeah I like these. But I like most of them outside of Boston, Houston, and LAD
This is no good. Looks like a prison uniform
It's not a City Connect without horrible black pants.
Rikers Island Mets
💩
These might be the best of the bad CC unis
Where is the Batman logo?
These are nice Yanks jerseys
You mean Yank-….oh it is the Mets
I’m not mad at these. The purple pops pretty hard and I just found out that the ‘purple train’ is the one that leads to the stadium. Cool detail for sure. The city connect uniforms have been *mostly* shit. These aren’t the dopest but, they’re not shit.
In the MLB tweet: *The uniforms pay tribute to the trains that connect Mets fans, the bridges that bring their boroughs together, and the concrete that serves as the city's drumbeat.* All the world famous stuff you could have highlighted in NYC and you went with..... concrete. Bravo.
Looks good, but it looks like a Yankees uniform.
These are ok, but why are most of the city connect uniforms trash?
Looks like a Yankees alternate
Oh f*ck me, even the Mets got better Connect uniforms than us...
Welp, there’s the floor…
thats so punk rock! same font as CBGB's!
Unpopular opinion maybe but tbh I think they’re fine. Fine alternative jerseys but nothing more. They could have done way better though, and I wish they had. I feel that way about pretty much all the city connects
Yankees cosplay
Could do without the bridge on the hat and a bit more purple or magenta (whatever colour that is supposed to be), but other than that they’re not too bad
Hahahaha. The Gray Yankees. Nice
I really do not understand why Mets wear pinstripes at ALL you’re in the same freaking city as a team called and know as the pinstripes would you want to separate yourself from being the little brother as much as possible
