You can't clip these wings - City Connect jerseys

I’m guessing the hat will cost a lot more than most hats?

Kind of blah. They look better being worn than they did in the leak. I wish they would have least made the Baltimore orange instead of white.

Actually, the bright pattern on cuffs, inside of the lapel (or whatever you call it), contrasted with the minimalist / black scheme... looks pretty good?  I mean, I've never been accused of having good taste in fashion, but I guess I like it.

They're fine. I really like the back with the orange name and white numbers.  Overall could be worse.

[SemperFi]

Much better than I thought.  The primary black looks clean and it's not too busy.  I like the hat very much, the solid black and script letter.  Wish the script B would repace the tired O's hat; also not a big fan of the white panel, I think the O's tried to set a fashion trend and no one followed.  

I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of the scripted B.

"You can't clip these wings" is pretty dumb, IMO.  

I agree that the jerseys look better on the players rather than the leaks that we saw a couple weeks ago.  But to just plaster BALTIMORE in block letters across the front is dumb and unoriginal.  It should have been something like "Charm City" or something else that ties into Baltimore.

The hat is alright.

Should have said "Bawlmer." Also saying your city is made up of neighborhoods is a pretty generic claim. Isn't that all cities?

Pants should have orange piping. As it is, they're just... plain black pants. If you wear the pants long you don't even see the socks.

You don’t see much of the back other than the Adley pic. I think I like the orange lettering for the name in the back while the number is white. But I need to see a full angle of it first.

Are the pants visible in any of these? 
 

What is the meaning of the multicolored area again? 
 

A little relieved these at least  aren’t terrible.

I don't hate them - I'm just underwhelmed. 

The entire kit - black  on black with the white belt - that is a solid look. The sleeves are cool and I "get it" the whole metaphor of "people only see one thing but underneath its this vibrant thing,"- I like that message. 

I honestly don't like the hat, I don't think the B works as a hat.

Someone said that it looks like the people who designed the Great Britain WBC jerseys designed these and that is so true.

yeah that is a good look - frankly it incentivizes people buying the more expensive jersey 

[SilentJames]

I honestly wish the pants were orange

I do love the fact they got Kondwani Fidel to do this poem again. I appreciate the way the org has really embraced the city - all of the city - the last few years by inviting local artists and really trying to better tie stadium into the feel of the city in general. '

the neighborhood map/ graffiti alley color scheme is a deep-cut Baltimore reference that is really a "if you know you know," thing. 

[AdamK]

Eh. I mean...

I guess when your main aesthetic is already a cartoon bird, going for more feel-good vibes could seem like a missed opportunity when considering a complicated city like Baltimore. -- assuming this was the platform of choice to showcase a message this serious.

That's okay. It's representative of a percentage of Os fans I probably don't overlap too much with. And I can see how the hat and jersey may land with many who don't identify with the bird like I do. 

 

Need to marinate on these feelings. I respect the process that got them here.

Overall, I like it. As others have said, they should have put Charm City on the front.
