Step aside, Turn Ahead the Clock jerseys.
The Colorado Rockies unveiled their new City Connect uniforms on Friday morning, and they just might be the franchise’s gaudiest yet.
The uniforms, which celebrate the entire state rather than just the city of Denver, are green and white with a snow-capped mountain range emblazoned across the chest. Basically, the Rockies answered the question, “What if we turned a license plate into a baseball uniform?”
There’s a black-and-yellow “5280” patch on the right sleeve that includes a pair of black diamonds, which “serve as a warning to the uninitiated to the task that awaits them,” according to a video narrated by Jack Corrigan that was posted to the Rockies’ Twitter account.
