Moseph Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I do like the W from this design and wouldn't mind if it was applied to the normal home and road sets, but for a City Connect uniform I wish they had brought back the classic DC logo. I think it would've looked great in these colors, plus I feel like more people call the city DC rather than Washington, thus giving this set a more hometown connection 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody really refers to that...it's just something you see on scorebugs. DC would have been better. The pink, gray and the blossoms are fantastic 7 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

The pink, gray and the blossoms are fantastic I dont mind it, I am surprised that DCA was not used, as much as its the Airport code, I recall that being used a lot in the area growing up there. DC I think is too common for what they were trying to do as Nats had DC branding at somepoint, and I miss the interlocking DC logo. At least they did not go with WAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I am not much of a fan of this, to be honest. From a distance, the jersey is going to mostly look dark gray, since the pink is such a light shade and is so minimally used. I don’t mind the beveling, that feels very DC, but the “WSH” abbreviation is rough. It’s a peculiar decision to use off-white instead of a true white, as well. I don’t know about anyone else, but when I think of the monuments in DC (which I assume the off-white & bevel is alluding to), I think of pure white & gray, like the Wizards original City uniform with the marble. I don’t know… I think I’m just not a fan of the City program being transferred over to MLB. It kinda worked for the NBA, there were a few cool designs over the years, but even that seems to be getting worse & worse. I just don’t think it works for a sport as tradition-steeped as baseball. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco1997 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Shameless plug, but I addressed my issues with the Nats' City Connect set and made a few tweaks here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 The Nats were close to making this work, but the WSH abbreviation just throws it off. Still, it's one of the better City Connect uniforms I've seen. I might get a hat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazerBlaze Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 "Some of the clubs had been preparing for launch either this year or next year and got a little more aggressive." Aka this board is about to lose its collective mind over some of these. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/33616399/washington-nationals-wizards-unveil-cherry-blossom-themed-uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I like them except for the WSH, which is kind of a big part of it. But I'm curious is there any "reason" said for choosing the gray and the off-white color? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess the Gray was the call back to the Negro League team, and the off white is the color of the monuments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Fun note - it looks like Mickey Moniak (of the Phillies, playing against the Yankees today) is wearing a faux-turtleneck tee (like Lenny Dykstra, et al, used to wear) and it looks like this one is straight from the 90s, too; Phillies wordmark at the center neck, blue batterman (without the rectangular logo outline) at left neck. Wish I had a picture. From a 1997 card: Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Can anyone with more knowledge than me at the moment let me know if the Braves discontinued using the cream jersey, A’s dark green, Nats white with W, white with flag W, and Rays Columbia blue (normal alt not spring) jerseys or did MLB the show 22 just mess up?

coco1997 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The Astros appear to be teasing their City Connect unis, which are being unveiled on April 10th: Unsurprisingly, seems we'll be getting something with a big space program theme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was for them to use them as a regular alternate. Not sure what conspired to limit their use to three games. Hoping that changes and we get to them more this year. I know the Sox store sold out of City Connect jerseys in the span of hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
