Apparently this art has been on the MTA for years, but it would be funny if this more or less wound up being the Mets' design.

The Mets in purple…I hope somebody does a wellness check on Paul Lukas on April 19th.

A former MLB.com writer is claiming on Twitter that the Mets City Connect uniforms will be black. This wouldn’t really bother me if the team didn’t already have that awful new black alternate in their jersey rotation.

If it was posted by a reputable site like ESPN, I’m sure it’s legit. I’m guessing we’ll get confirmation from MLB soon enough. Side note, going by that schedule, May is going to be a loaded month!

Thanks! Agreed. I definitely feel the "Rangers" script should have been used on more than just one jersey. PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES HOME: ROAD: HOME ALT: ROAD ALT: CITY CONNECT: Notes: - When the Phillies announced they’d be retiring their red alternates prior to the 2024 season, I assumed it was because their City Connects would be red. We now know that was wrong. As such, I’ve reintroduced a red home alt for Philly. - It seems odd for a team not to have an alternate in their primary color, but I also love both of Philly’s home looks as well as their road throwbacks. To make room for the new alt, I combined the team’s two home uniforms into one by making the home set off-white and adding sleeve and collar trim. - There’s a bit more blue across the board, which is also reflected in the new striping pattern on the road uniform. - Sleeve numbers are back, as I wasn’t inclined to sacrifice a classic design feature to accommodate an ad patch. - Maybe I’m an easy lay, but I actually like the Phils’ new City Connect uniforms. They’re pretty much the prototypical City Connect design: wildly different team colors, city iconography-inspired logos, “edgy” looking numbers and dark pants. One thing I did feel the need to change was the jersey gradient; I’ve always felt the best uniforms and logos are ones that can be easily recreated with a simple pen and paper, and it’s a bit hard to do that with a gradient. The jersey instead now features the skyline of Philly, a la the cap logo. I also converted the jersey into a partial pullover. - Thanks to @MJD7 for helping with the wordmark! C&C appreciated!

“This text is reminiscent of those found in the historical documents throughout the city.”

This raises an interesting question: I wonder how many of these designs are designed in a vacuum and, if it’s truly a collaborative process between Nike and the MLB teams, how often Nike has to tell a team “Actually, we might want to go in a different direction because Team A’s uniforms look too similar to Team B’s.”

Eh, I kind of like these. I think the lighter blue with darker blue/black pants combo works better here than it did with Seattle.

I didn't realize the Reds' current wordmarks and numbers were so disliked around these parts. I've always liked them, though they would definitely look better sans drop shadows.

Agreed. Seeing as this relocation is only short-term, I'd bet anything the "new" A's uniforms will be half-assed and bare bones. At least this move will provide plenty of fodder for the Concepts forum, though.

They could also pull a Seattle or Tampa Bay and ditch their road gray jerseys. I wouldn't want them to do that, but it wouldn't be unheard of.

Per their social media, Blue Jays City Connects are being unveiled May 30th.

If Detroit's City Connect jersey is navy, I actually hope they pair it with matching pants. After all, there's a precedent for it:

Yeah, they weirdly started wearing them by the time most teams had already stopped:

Looking at that top jersey, monochrome navy with racing stripes could be pretty cool.

It's a odd question, because most teams' road uniforms are just a gray version of their home set, usually with a different wordmark, so it really comes down to whether you find a white or gray uniform more appealing.

That's actually not what I have planned for New York. You'll have to just wait and see. Up next are the reigning World Series champions! TEXAS RANGERS HOME: ROAD: HOME ALT: ROAD ALT: CITY CONNECT: Notes: - I ditched Texas’ powder blue set (oddly used by the team as a home alternate) in order to make room for a new red alt which uses the home script. As a compromise, I gave the road a slight blue tint. - The color balance on the home uniforms reverts to the current set’s 2020 debut. My idea would be for the Rangers to be a primarily red team at home and primarily blue on the road. - My City Connect design is one I previously shared in my City Connects tweaks thread, based on suggestions from @VampyrRabbit. Changes include switching to a sleeveless jersey, flipping the placement of the “TX” and front numbers and adding a headspoon. C&C appreciated as always!

I'm biased, but I love the current White Sox road unis. Of course, they were better when they had the dual thick pant stripes as seen below:

Highly unlikely. This just looks like a fashion jersey from the early-mid 2000s.

I like the '83s too, but it's so typical of the White Sox organization to celebrate mediocrity. The '83 team not only did not win a championship, they didn't even reach the World Series. It was fine when they brought those uniforms back for the 30th anniversary in 2013 but to continue to wear them for another ten seasons was overkill. If the Sox wants to honor an historical team more worthy of celebrating (and who also had great uniforms), then make the 1917 throwbacks the new Sunday home alt:

About damn time.

I noticed the same thing today! The uniforms look like they're made of butter.

I’m surprised MLB hasn’t announced the 2024 City Connect schedule yet. I’m pretty sure last year’s schedule was released a few days before Opening Day 2023.
