Red Sox dump the red for yellow and sky blue in new alternate uniforms

The Red Sox and Nike are giving Cubs and White Sox fans an idea of what to expect in June.

The Red Sox unveiled their yellow and sky blue City Connect series uniforms to honor Patriots’ Day and the Boston Marathon, which represent a drastic departure from the team’s iconic standard jerseys.

There will be no red coloration on the special uniforms and the color scheme is meant to represent the Patriots’ Day weekend.

The jerseys feature “Boston” across the chest in a stencil font in blue letters that pay tribute to the finish of the marathon at Boylston Street.
