They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

joekono Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It's just sad that they wheeled this program out just when the league has come to look as good as it has looked in a loooong time. Just put the jerseys up on the monopoly website that Fanatics has, and if people like them, they will buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeShow24 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 EHHHHHHH Dodger's CC look is fine, they went for the safe route. Though I always wanted a blue home uniform to be played on the regular season. If they do this again I hope they go for other colors instead.

Have they thrown in Los Angeles on the City Connect branding or are people just making things up to be mad about? That said, the "Los Team Name" thing is pretty played out. Don't mind the all blue but not a particularly inspired theme and the spray paint thing seems pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the MLB City Connect jerseys are only a few times a year. Some teams (albeit they agreed to it) were saddled with complete crap for years. With NFL, I'm not even sure if we know that RBK's design department had a hand in the changes that happened under their watch. Hell - we know for fact that they didn't even make the uniforms.

Or just make the LA on the cap red with a white drop shadow? This City Connect uni is just a low hanging fruit-y mess.

"Sounds great boss!"puts black paint splatter on a deep blue uniform I was going to say the same thing - why wouldn't you make it red - a Dodgers color, and something that would, you know......represent colorful spray paint instead of......black?

Gothamite Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I’m in San Francisco for the Brewers series, and their City Connect uniforms are being absolutely savaged by the local press and fans alike. Lots of people at the ballpark overheard talking about how “ugly”, “stupid”, and “pointless” the uniforms are. Last night the post-game radio team was crowing that since the Giants finally lost in them, maybe the team can stop wearing the things. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

That's not up to the team to decide. Their Nike overlords call the shots and you can expect them to force the Giants to continue wearing them for a weekend each month.

But the negative response was really surprising to me. And FWIW, they don’t seem to be selling that many. Three nights at the ballpark and I’ve seen almost none in the stands.

Are we really going to pretend that teams don't control their own fate again? The Giants are choosing to wear their City Connect uniform multiple times, nobody is telling them to do it, it's all on the team. Please remember that it's absolutely possible for teams to make stupid decisions with their uniforms on their own. Aside from the Giants and White Sox, I don't think I've seen any team use their City Connect uniform for a second game. Just remember this is Major League Baseball and there will be pushback if it tries to get too stupid. It happened with Players Weekend and may very well happen again.

I can at least understand why a fan would buy some of the other CC jerseys. The Giants one is so vastly inferior to their regular jerseys that nobody wants one.

What do you mean it happened for players weekend? I still remember every team trotting out in ingot uniforms those weekends. If you mean they stopped making special uniforms for it and replaced it with city connect jerseys because they weren’t selling sure. And the NBA has shown Nike will control when teams wear what uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the NBA has shown Nike will control when teams wear what uniforms. The 2019 Players Weekend was universally hated. The Cubs wore their regular hats for one game before the league told them to stop. Now there is no more Players Weekend because nobody liked it. Baseball is probably the only sport where uniforms are so scrutinized. This isn't the NBA. This is a different game and a different aesthetic standard for uniforms.
