Uniform changes can be polarizing. Some sports fans like tradition. Others welcome innovation. One thing is certain: They get us talking.
Major League Baseball's City Connect uniforms, which launched in 2021, have done exactly that. Nike has worked with MLB teams to create a uniform that reflects each baseball city's culture and community, similar to the NBA's city jersey series that began in 2017.
There were 29 uniforms released through the 2024 season -- including two for the Los Angeles Dodgers. This year brought the release of a second set of City Connect uniforms for the Houston Astros, Washington Nationals, San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies, Chicago White Sox, Miami Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox.
