The Miami Marlins will use their "City Connect" uniforms to honor the Cuban Sugar Kings, a fleeting yet monumental former minor league organization with a special connection to the Cuban-American populace of South Florida.
The new uniforms were unveiled by the team on Monday morning and will be worn by their players for the first time on Friday, the day after Cuban Independence Day. The team will wear the uniforms throughout that weekend home series against the New York Mets, which features the team's Cuban Heritage Night, and in five other weekend series the rest of this season.
