Well, a city connect jersey with cigar city on the front, you think that would fly? both with fans and MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cigar City shirt isn't part of City Connect. It's a shirt for retail only. Also...and I'm amazed that I have to explain this to you...wearing a shirt with a historical nickname on it is completely different than using chewing tobacco during a game. And yes I think a historical nickname of a city would fly as MLB rules and city nicknames really aren't correlated. Detroit's retail shirt said "Motor City" and sports cars aren't allowed on the field of play or in the dugouts either. 1 2 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

The Smokers throwbacks had the cigar removed from the original uniforms, and it was approved. "Cigar City" probably wouldn't be too different. But the point is moot because, again, this is just a fashion shirt, not related to the City Connect uniforms. 1 https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Cigar City is typically a nickname for Tampa proper. For the Rays who play home games in St Petersburg it's highly unlikely that a city connect says Cigar City on it. I could be wrong, but i would think its not probable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, a Rays' City Connect uni will likely focus more on Tampa than St. Petersburg. Other than a gradient-heavy marine sanctuary motif and/or a beach, what else would be pulled from St Pete? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

The Pirates made the playoffs in 2013-15...so seven years ago? And they wore the black jerseys in the playoffs. The black "Pittsburgh" jerseys are far better than the P jerseys with the silly outlines. 1 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

While the future of the team may be in Tampa proper, they sure as heck dont want to pee in the Cheerios of St Pete right now, since the Rays are still looking for a permanent new venue somewhere in the next 5 years or so. My thought is that we might see something that encompasses the entire Tampa Bay region and not one specific city. The Skyway Bridge is a design aspect that could be utilized, as well as a Tampa Bay wordmark of some kind since its not used on any current jersey at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I'd love it if the Rays came out with a City Connect jersey focused on their sister city of Montreal. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, only the A's are using green so it would be nice to add a little diversity to the color schemes in the league. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike will probably want the green and purple to exclusively be on City Connect for a couple of years until the novelty wears off. Rockies have a 30th anniversary next year, so they might do something new in 2023, but who knows. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
