DarthBrett Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Noticed the Dodgers wore black shirts with their '22 version of their city connect unis on this past Saturday (they wore blue last year). I really think they need to wear a white or black belt with this uni though, there is just too much blue and it needs some contrast in it. But at least it still looks a bit better than last year's version of the uni. Also, they're FINALLY wearing the 'Dodgers' road jersey tonight at Comiskey (yes, I still call it Comiskey). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing the black undershirts and black brimmed caps, now I want the socks to be black too. The fading transition from the blue to black on the sleeve works and it would behoove them to put the same effect on the socks. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Damn, I was completely unaware the Los Dodgers jersey even used black. Do agree that it's really underwhelming...sure, everybody hates the Yellow Red Sox city connect, but you at least know what they were going for...why does the Los Dodgers uni exist, though? What is it raining to connect to? 1 A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All blue dodger uniform looks ridiculous, they look like janitors. pair the jersey with black or white pants ffs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been anti-blue for the Angels, so I'm not a huge fan of the blue numbers, especially given how red the rest of the jersey is. My biggest issue is the Los Angeles sleeve patch. I think it's a wild move for this to be the first jersey appearance of "Los Angeles". It's a City Connect jersey, but they went with the surfing SoCal connection which would make sense given the reticence of the Angels to use Los Angeles anywhere, especially at home, and Arte probably wouldn't want an Anaheim themed jersey, so SoCal is a nice middle. But the Los Angeles patch is weird because the jersey doesn't reference Los Angeles (or Anaheim for that matter) at all. So it's a City Connect that doesn't directly reference either city the team is connected to and the release speaks to "Southern California", but they still went with the first appearance of the city least represented by the City Connect. Anaheim Angels both sound better and look better, on a sleeve patch, on a scoreboard, everywhere. Why in the world did they ditch Anaheim ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Late to the Angels City Connect party, but I think overall it’s pretty good. One of the better ones in the program for sure. The only thing that’s holding me up is the diamond + numbers on the front of the jersey, it just looks sort of tacked on and cluttered there. I know the diamond is supposedly referencing Jack’s surfboards and the homage fits the theme, but I’d have rather them used it for the sleeve patch than on the front of the jersey. I think it would’ve been a little cleaner that way. Overall though? Still pretty good. I think I’d even have it in my top 3 with Miami and Kansas City. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dodgers have one of the weakest City Connect sets and I still think the black "graffiti" spray paint effect on the sleeves is dumb, but I have to admit it works much better paired with black undershirts. I agree about the socks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the Boston City Connect. I think I appreciate the degree to which they incorporated all the finish line elements. It's also, from an outside observer, found some love in Boston. So if it connects with the city, I suppose that's the whole point. This is just my subjective opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Nike are considered marketing geniuses but I do think it was somewhat of a mistake to introduce the City Connect program with the Boston set because it was such a dramatic departure from their everyday look, which is of course so iconic. I think introducing the program with either the White Sox, Marlins or even Cubs would have better conditioned people to be a little more open-minded to what Boston did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Yea the Red Sox CC is the one that's least associated with the team wearing it. It's like "City" without the "Connect" part, which connects the team to the city. Probably shouldn't have started with that one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marathon runs right past the stadium, they were the first event in Boston after the marathon bombing, and you have David ortiz’ iconic speech before the game. The marathon is probably the thing the team connects most with the city. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe just go with black belts as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 As someone within the Boston media bubble, it was funny to come on here to see that City Connect uniform ranked so poorly. It's very well liked by people in the city. It may be garish, and it may not use team colors, but it nailed the CITY part. 4 fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
