The lighting in that pic makes its sort of hard to decipher, but the cap panels look to be cream as well. So after this latest city reveal, I think I would personally rank them all in this order (my score in parenthesis): Royals (10) White Sox (9) Marlins (9) Cubs (8) Astros (8) Nationals (8) Diamondbacks (7) Angels (7) Rockies (7) Dodgers (6) Giants (5) Red Sox (2) So far for me, the Red Sox are the only city uni that I think are actually bad and were a total swing-and-a-miss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Keeping in mind my standard disclaimer that I still don’t like the City program being implemented into MLB, the Rockies set is probably my 3rd favorite so far, behind the White Sox & Houston. I like how it is sort of the inverse coloration of a typical baseball uniform, as the white accents on the hat, shoulders, & belt really help the uniform to “pop.” The mountain isn’t too over-the-top either. One thing that does bug me is the inconsistency of color with the cap logo & sleeve patch, compared to the rest of the set. I wish everything was simply green & purple. Speaking of, I really wish the Rockies would dump black & replace it with this green, or simply go purple & silver. It would really do wonders for their set. Once again, even though I like the general design presented here, I wish it was more in-line with their regular set, maybe by using their regular font & not going quite as unique with the logos. With the mountain it obviously could still work as part of their main set. I’ll wait to comment on the Angels once they’re officially revealed, but for now my ranking of the City Connects so far would be: 1. White Sox 2. Houston 3. Colorado 4. Washington 5. Arizona 6. Boston 7. Kansas City 8. Miami 9. San Francisco 10. Cubs 11. Dodgers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I hate this entire initiative, but I like this Angels uniform because it just looks like a PCL fauxback. Consider the alternatives involving "The OC" (don't call it that). It could be so much worse. 8 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC985 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 The Angels uniform is a disappointment. I was hoping they would lean into California surf culture with a really colorful design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Yeah, I'm kind of whelmed by the Angels set. I'll have to see the full release, the explanation for everything and the merch, but I'm feeling just kind of "Oh, alright" about it right now. They at least look like a good/normal baseball jersey though. I think it's a real wild move for this jersey to be the first one they put "Los Angeles Angels" on if that is what the sleeve patch appears to have. Also will have to wait for the explanation, but this doesn't really look like a "Los Angeles" based jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Wait? People like the Rockies one? I find it really hideous. Especially with the promising color palette of green and purple. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with the promising color palette of green and purple. I’ve noticed lots of praise from non-Rockies fans and people not from Colorado. But much of the negativity is from Coloradoans and Rox fans because it feels like they went for the easiest Colorado design possible and hit on what outsiders think CO is not what we feel it is. The idea of placing a “tourist sticker” on the cap is one of the most brain dead ideas I’ve ever heard for a CITY CONNECT uniform. I shouldn’t be surprised, the Rockies are nothing if not consistent. Consistently disappointing. Denver Nuggets Kansas City Chiefs Tampa Bay Rays Colorado Buffaloes Purdue Boilermakers Florida Gators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 The Rockies City Connect is ok. Adding green and the license plate inspired font are great and I hope they use those things in the future. The cap logo is bad. Everything else is meh. But, at least it doesn’t have the flag on it. As a native, I’ve grown to dislike that flag because it’s on everything.

SilverBullet1929 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 People saying green and purple reminds them of the Hulk and the Wimbledon logo but nobody thinks of The Joker? Also people ranking their CC uniforms got me thinking, people actually like the Giants ones? To me those are by far the worst. It's like that Moneyball movie line where Pitt says there's the bottom, then 10 lbs of crap, then the A's... that's how I see those Giants CC unis. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines are too thin to be noticeable and thus do not give off that "neon at night" look. The sleeve patch has a little bit thicker lines and almost pops the way the front wordmark should. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Jays is about that size, too. Even normal triple piping (i.e., Braves minus the placket, Reds' road uniforms, Giants, etc.) would be better. This is 3 colors, condensed into barely the size of standard single-piping. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Forget all the "Los Colores" and "neon at night" stuff, this was Take 2 on making the Marlins look like the Yankees. The 2003 redesign was a literal attempt, but this one was more figurative: strip all the color and playfulness in an attempt to look serious. 1 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
