The unveiling of MLB and Nike's City Connect uniforms continued on Tuesday with the introduction of the new Chicago Cubs alternate uniforms, which will be worn for the first time on Saturday at Wrigley Field against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The uniforms are mostly navy blue with light blue accents to evoke the Chicago flag. They also feature "Wrigleyville" across the front in a font similar to the ballpark's marquee. The city's 77 neighborhoods are acknowledged with their names on the sleeves of dugout and bullpen jackets.
"We're aware of the impact we have not only on the neighborhood surrounding us, but on all of Chicago's 77 neighborhoods," said Cubs vice president of marketing Lauren Fritts in a press release.
