You can't clip these wings - City Connect jerseys

[AdamK]

Sigh. It's the real thing. https://uni-watch.com/2023/05/09/mlbs-latest-city-connect-leak-a-hilariously-bad-orioles-jersey/

Maybe the hype video or seeing our players model the entire look will help. 

BTW, the "B" patch on left sleeve is the same "B" Buck lobbied for the Os to wear back in 2013. Here's another article on the matter: https://baltimoresportsreport.com/buck-showalter-campaigns-for-orioles-traditional-road-b-hat-40936.html

My guess is this is all part of a conspiracy to get rid of the divisive O's cap. 

The city connect jersey being as bland/default as we've seen will push new sales to the hat, mostly, which will stand out as a win for the club by comparison. The cap then gains traction as something that could be an alternate option with existing combos and eventually replaces the O's one because “All the good teams have their cities letters on their hats,”

Garish is an appropriate word, 100%.  

Baltimoreans really love the holy trinity of the state flag, Old Bay and Under Armour.

The Orioles aren’t scheduled to reveal their new City Connect uniform for another two weeks. But the cat may already be out of the bag, at least for the jersey design, thanks to the image shown above, which began circulating late yesterday afternoon.

It would be easy to make fun of how plain and uninspired this is (and I’ll do just that in a minute), but first let’s connect a few dots. First, the mosaic pattern on the inner collar appears to match the pattern on the sock leak from a few months ago. Here’s a comparison:

 

In addition, the “BAL” lettering on the socks appears to match the font of the chest lettering on the jersey.

These are almost as bad as the Great Britain WBC jerseys. Almost.

I hate all the city connect uniforms.

I prefer the block letter B hat that was worn early on.

Question: how often do teams wear their City Connect uniforms?

While I really couldn’t care less about this topic, I do have to say that the jersey is about the most unimaginative thing I’ve ever seen, and I don’t even know why they bothered.  A ten year old kid could have come up with a more interesting design.

I don't even understand the concept of City Connect uniforms, so.... whatever.

I think they're mostly pretty cool, but they usually have some sort of significance to the city or highlight something unique about the area.

I don't understand the Baltimore one - what is is supposed to represent?

That there’s absolutely nothing unique or interesting about Baltimore, apparently.  Or that the nights there are really dark.

I hate the clownish City Connect designs a few teams have (San Diego being the worst), but my god, would a second color really have broken the bank? At least the White Sox black-and-white unis had some sense of style.

You're not THAT old.

Hahaha!!! I've been on the side that hates the idea of the City Connect jerseys, but this is good with me. I'll leave now so the young folks can enjoy it.
