Also, it's pretty sneaky of the Rays to make a teal hat too. 

The Rays store tends to sell many colorways of merchandise that you can't get anywhere else.  It's just fan gear, not for on field.  Take a look at The Bay Republic, you'll see many different items in normal and throwback colors.

It took the Mets just two days to go off schedule and wear the City Connect jersey on a random Monday night.

 

I read that the Rays are going to wear theirs for a couple of road games? Didn’t even know that was allowed

Yes, the Rays will wear theirs on the road in Atlanta for a game and in St Louis for a game, and it was said that it will be a CC head to head matchup.  This quote was from the CCSLC Mothership article

Worth noting, the road games (yes, they’re taking these on the road!) on June 15th at Atlanta and August 7th at St. Louis will feature both clubs wearing their City Connect uniforms. No, the Cardinals have not unveiled theirs yet, but they will have between now and then.

And even so, Friday and Saturday NFL football is illegal until December, due to the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. So unless the NFL wants to get their anti-trust exemptions stripped away from them (and all the other pro sports leagues,) those two aren't gonna happen.

 

That's why as soon as CFB ends, the NFL is doing Saturday Night Football.

You may ask "well how is the NFL allowing games on opening weekend Friday in Brazil and Black Friday?  The Brazil game is before the 2nd Friday and the Black Friday game was played at 3pm.

Quote

The act withdrew antitrust immunity for any pro football telecast if a high school or college football game is being played within 75 miles (120 km) of the broadcasting station on Friday nights (after 6 p.m.) and Saturdays from the 2nd Friday in September until the 2nd Saturday in December. This provision, intended to protect high school and college football attendance, has the effect of barring national broadcasts of NFL games on those days, since virtually all of the country is within 75 miles of at least one high school game on every Friday night in September and October.

Teal hats have been spotted

If you check out the Rays official store The Bay Republic, there are a few variations, likely fashion and not on field.

Look how sick that brim on bottom is

Interesting, that might be a fashion hat.  The one on MLBShop shows a different underbrim.

They teased it was going to be powder blue

No they didn't.  The ads for the unveiling were powder blue and used the yellow burst logo mostly, but nothing was ever said that the CC's were to be powder blue.

Also, a black uniform isn't going to be fun in the middle of summer in Tampa. 

The team plays in a dome.....I think they'll be fine.

What do the flames on the wordmark have to do with anything? I dont get it

I think its waves or something like that.  That's what they showed in the video and they said "waves".

I'm definitely getting that hat, not much else.

This logo is brilliant!  Incorporating the Sunshine Skyway Bridge

Rays CC is coming out soon  This is on social media

Looks like they’re going all-in on the gradient.

Ok, I think I can get behind this.

Allegiant Stadium only held 61k for the Super Bowl. 

61k was the announced attendance.  The stadium normally holds 65k for NFL games and can reportedly expand to over 71k.

I think it sounds better plural. 

Either way works for me.

A possible hint to one of the colours with the powder blue outline on the script? 

Dont connect too much to this logo, remember Seattle started their generic imagery with red.

Mammoth is low key a sleeper in this presumptive list.

I saw this about an interview Cal did this morning, "For those wishing a different uniform was home or away, the league basically told them which ones they had to use for home/away."
Seems like most Houstonians prefer the red as well, but I guess it wasn't possible?

That seems strange.  I'm trying to think if any of the recent new uniforms have changed home uniform colors.  The Falcons and Rams  come to mind (primary red to black & navy blue to royal blue respectively)

Somehow, the AFC South got bluer

Yeah, this is kinda how I feel.  The Texans new look isn't bad, but I always thought they should embrace the red as a primary uniform to contrast the in-state NFL team Cowboys navy blue primary.

From release video on Youtube. Darker blue, lighter red. 

Now the real question, what is the PMS for H Town Blue, and is it the same as Titans Luv Ya Blue?

Why wouldn't the Texans use the opportunity to enrich an alternate in the light blue instead of just using it as trim? That alternate is a major disappointment, especially because the numerals are red but the H is blue, so it's going to look disjointed. 

Probably because they'd get heat from Tennessee, and maybe they did and this is the compromise.

The enlarged photo from Uni Watch apparently shows the TV numbers have no outline. Ugh, why? Who thinks this is okay? Sometimes the simplest solution really is the best one. Just outline them.

 I can’t wait to hear the contrived, convoluted reasoning for this decision.

Seattle has had TV numbers not outlined on their current uniforms as well.  Its nothing new.

Clippers, who we saw already.  I don't believe there's anyone else known at the moment.

They had some Cigar City Nike shirts a couple years back that I really liked that I've been hoping would inspire the City Connect gear. This word mark on a light blue jersey with light blue pants would be a great city connect.

I do like the design, but the only issue with the Cigar City moniker is that it belongs to Tampa proper, and since the team plays in St. Petersburg that might not look good when they're in the middle of working out the details of a new ballpark in St Pete.
