Detroit Tigers reveal BEST MLB City Connect uniforms?

[@Lucky2000Zx]

You know I would love to see you do a video ranking all the City Connect jerseys so far

[@brodiebrazil]

good call, might do that later this week

[@zbsx]

@@brodiebrazil I'd wait til the rest are revealed. That should be by early July.

[@JackKnoxx]

White Sox does

[@GizmoBeach]

They’re all terrible. 😠 Get rid of the rodeo clown/softball unis and start dressing like pros again. It doesn’t help that Fanatiks or Fatheads or whatever they’re called designed ugly jerseys with microscopic letters. 🙄

[@bcranford714]

As a tigers fan and from Detroit the jersey is cold but they $&@&ed up with the hat

[@DoctorS13]

Exactly

[@mlbjmaur]

Missed the opportunity to put those Tiger eyes behind the Detroit word mark

[@deanackerman6664]

The three local TV channels with social media all share a common opinion about the hats. The comments call them the generic hats you get at a gas station. At the very least the old English D should have been ghosted onto these hats & WHY waste the Tiger on the bottom of the brin? Feature it on a main area of the cap. The M1 (for Woodward Ave.) also features the city area code (313), but the 3s are in way too light gray or silver. Like the Nike Vapor jerseys...too many poorly executed design elements.

[@anthonyriley985]

I agree the tigers city connect uniforms I really like their caps they did something that's entirely different from other teams they went with their city name on the caps the whole city name very creative great dam job I like that owners take pride in their team appearance if they do not think so think again and the fooling themselves I like them the tigers did good 🔥🔥🔥

[@mikemoore5263]

"Motor City" is obvious but no doubt about it, I love the color scheme, but this just looks like a soccer jersey to me, idk

[@deanackerman6664]

Way too much like a soccer jersey. Using Detroit Tigers Orange & the Detroit Blue would have been a better option than the black.

[@desertdog3473]

Wanted the hat to have the Tiger head logo on the front not under the brim where it barely can be seen

[@Keitek]

My initial thought is the jerseys are nice but the hat just seems plain. Then I found out the hat has a blue tiger design under the brim. I don't know why they decided to put that really cool design under the brim cause nobody is going to be looking there but it does make the hat a little better.

[@Jon_9715]

Coming from a Tigers fan, I would have loved to see the Spirit of Detroit incorporated somehow, but besides the hat, these are really good.

[@kami_in_the_skye]

Not quite Rays City Connect tier, but still very good.

[@deanackerman6664]

Brodie, you have done an excellent job documenting what garbage the new Nike Vapor jersey "template" is. Well, all these 2024 City Connect jerseys are using that same layout. NFW would I buy any MLB jersey until Fanatics & Nike have fixed the quality + manufacturing issues with these replica uniforms. I'm from Detroit & I can tell you a lot of the local reaction to the CC jersey is it should have featured Tigers Orange over the Deep Navy or black shade. Many also think it looks way too much like a soccer jersey & might have been trying to borrow the NFL Lions colors? The only racing stripes are the blue (with tire tread pattern) running on the front of the jersey & the ones on the pants. The strobe effect off of a solid pinstripe borrows from late 1960s early '70s muscle cars. The angled stripe pattern on the sleeves is something seen in safety areas of manufacturing plants or on the road construction signs (only using black 'n blue over yellow/black or white & orange). With the Vapor jerseys relying on dye sub printing over embroidery on the patches... the M1 / 313 has issues with the 3's being way too light gray / silver.

[@dustyb58]

At first I was like, why is this jersey specifically honoring Lou Whitaker?

[@KingZomp]

Awesome!!! Great video. I am so impressed by your design IQ

[@GizmoBeach]

How about they “connect the city” by wearing professional looking gear and playing competitive baseball that fans (especially those with families) can afford to watch? Or is that a crazy suggestion?

[@davidbenkert1062]

Yeah, uni is good, but the hat needs help. Looks like a hat you could pick up at any Detroit truck stop.

[@rileyholden-zc9ip]

They are nice

[@StewieGriffin111]

The uniforms are awesome the hat could be better. Go tigers 🐅

[@Jthamano]

Would love to see a ranking of all the city connect jerseys once they all come out! Would be interesting to hear what you have to say about each of them

[@TeganCantEven]

I love seeing love for my city!! These jerseys are perfect!

[@michaelmeyerson5051]

These uniforms are nit terrible. That means they are one of the best

[@STKev88]

Tampa Bay has the best one this season. Others just don't fit well or just too plain.

[@mlbjmaur]

Those Tiger eyes would’ve looked sick behind the Detroit word mark on the hat😒 missed opportunity

[@ericraglon1629]

That hat is dope look under the bill

[@tylermccann848]

The best? Idk, I think they look alright - not crazy about the color scheme. I also like the fine details. To me it's hard to beat what Tampa Bay pulled off

[@CS_1989]

The hat should have kept the OG “D”etroit in the name. & where is the tiger?? R they the Tigers or the Pistons?!!?

[@KingZomp]

I think the hat is great. Explicitly Detroit, implicitly baseball. I think could be a good strategy to get the hats on non baseball fan heads and maybe bring more pride and intrigue to the Tigers.

[@n8doggy733]

I've never been to Detroit but I am pretty sure I am its defacto Mayor ❤

[@josephjuno9555]

Detroit Has the Best Uniforms! This is just Nike Money grab to sell these too! Lions are going to bring back the Black jersey fotlr the same reason 🤑

[@fh6034]

Problem is most City Connect Jerseys are Black. They need more teams to try different colors

[@Gallalad1]

Honestly I’ll give Nike their flowers. When they do a city connect uniform they at least try something different. They’re not doing this by the book. They’re trying to find a vibe and I appreciate a designer taking a risk.

[@thunderhammerx2966]

These are okay; Rays have the best one so far.

[@tylerlucas5773]

I like the mets cc jersies best so far

[@DrewRefuerzo]

Can you rank this years and last years city connect jerseys by tier

[@bikingD]

Why are baseball players wearing soccer jerseys? These are horrible. Keep the classic ball jerseys. Total disaster.

[@JuanNunez2023]

It looks like a Soccer jersey. The only thing it's missing is a team badge.

[@JiuJitsuLife-xr8kb]

This is a terrible uniform

[@RhetoricWolf]

Couldn't disagree more. It's one of the best city connects. Embrace the difference. It's 2024.

[@gehrigx4]

@@RhetoricWolfdifferent is fine. Look at Tampa bay, those city connects are great. This uniform for Detroit, however, is terrible.

[@Colton-kb1rs]

@@gehrigx4Nah, I disagree. The vehicle tracks on the jersey represents Ford. It’s just good. You have a horrible taste of jerseys. I bet you like the Denver Broncos mile high collection.

[@Colton-kb1rs]

You have a terrible taste.

[@EnjoyerofMiserableMarinersBsbl]

These are ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC. The Tigers already have some of the worst, most boring uniforms. And now they have arguably the worst City Connects ever.

[@charlesoliva3522]

The only City Connect jerseys that are decent are the Dbacks "Serpientes" uniforms.

[@eddiecam9523]

Not even close

[@Ponyo3816]

Just want to point out. Those sweet Bomber Jackets for the A's and Giant's are sold out because Nike hates making money.

[@HonoluluBlue81]

The jersey is ok, the Mets and Rays have the best city connect. The hat is a huge fail. They sell Detroit hats like this at gas stations. The should have used the tiger eyes or the M1 patch on the hat. Or better yet, instead of a new city connect jersey just use the Detroit Stars negro league jerseys they already have.

[@PWdogdad]

Tampa Rays city connect uniforms are best so far

[@deanackerman6664]

Those have awful readability. Fans have to be able to read the players number... a green outline aint gonna do it

[@davidmoorhead]

I just kinda liked baseball when it was baseball and baseball cards. Sure, I sound 100. I'm only 45. The impetus to create these really had nothing to do with anything except putting new gear in a team shop so people can continue to put money in the pockets of Nike. I used to love getting a "pro hat" back in the day. Now they'll put anything on a 'fitted' hat as long as it says a team name and New Era. The unis are lame. Whatever. I don't sit around all day and yell at clouds. I love progress for the sake of improvement and moving forward, but are any of these jerseys an improvement over the proper home whites? Not a chance. Just more crap to buy. And these still look like the cheap Nike trash of 2024. These companies can never get enough. Multi-billion dollar industries between Nike and MLB and all they want to do is dunk on enthusiastic fans. I miss the 90s.

[@domergreg]

The Olde English D means Detroit. It also means the Tigers. The idea that you honor the team's connection to the city by giving it a weekend off in favor of an electric blue rag is insulting. This will be the worst uniform ever worn by a Detroit team, and I'm including that teal garbage the Pistons wore in the 90s.

[@DougMayer]

All just a matter of taste, but these are a hard miss for me

[@JustinThomas-hz6tz]

When I say I’m sorry to be that guy I mean it… I really sorry to do this and be that person… It’s not a Gothic D. It’s an Old English D. Pointing it out only because it’s iconic and iconically known as the Old English D. Any Tiger fans got my back beee???

[@tubefreeeasy]

It’s funny how the Doyers weak City Connects are already changing.

[@tubefreeeasy]

I think the caps could have had that overlaying D on top of a waving finish flag.

[@the_dudeguy]

Looks like a soccer jersey... and the hat's really bad

[@fischermusicofficial]

Gonna have to disagree on this one Brodie. Also keep these crappy alternate unis away from the Yankees!

[@Wizardsleave69]

Agree.. the league's attempt to be basketball is cringe.

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

The hats are designed for hip hop and street wear. A take on classic Pistons hats. It fits that part of their audience and works decently well in player images.

[@jeanpaulalart359]

It doesn’t look like a baseball jersey. This year shape and material doesn’t look good to me. The mlb logo on the back is too low and the name of the player too small and too curved.

[@aphryo]

Hat is meh. Jersey is slick.

[@Tampafan33]

YOURE NUTS. These are no where near as good as the rays

[@arkansasrebel348]

All these City Connect jerseys need to be canned!!!!

[@EnjoyerofMiserableMarinersBsbl]

The Rays one aren’t good either.

[@chriscreaturo8809]

The hat looks like it's something the Detroit department of tourism would give out at visitor centers 👎

[@BoulderCityBlues]

As a Red Sox fan I hate their city connect jerseys .. Looks like something UCLA would wear ..I think the Rockies look the best ..Can’t wait for Vegas Sin City connect when they get a team .. other than the A’s

[@JosephKolp313]

I’m a Tiger fan here in the D. I’m 59 and anything other than our traditional uniforms is gonna get blasted out of the water. I sorta like these. It’s different as most of the Connect jerseys are- not really digging the cap but I think the younger generation is gonna eat this up. P.S. we need hitters..#RepDetroit

[@josephjuno9555]

🤢🤮 Hate it!

[@Db_traveler]

Can baseball focus on baseball? This year we are dealing with the overall jersey fiasco. Now more teams are trying to make fashion statements with these City-connect outfits? On Friday I went to a Stockton Ports game and they were wearing those ridiculous Oat Milkers uniforms. Guess I’m getting too old-school. I want to see my team win games, not fashion contests.

[@thiendinh_]

Jersey material still looks super cheap… looks terrible on the players.

[@tamer288]

No way lol. The Detroit City Connect is one of the worst.

[@arkansasrebel348]

I just can’t stand these City Connect jerseys…

[@mosinc7388]

Meh, Tampa Bays are better

[@Domino762]

I just think it is very boring

[@michaelmeyerson5051]

Ah yes, pants. I played softball for many years. Teams wearing dark pants looks amateurish. The Rockies S***y Connect looks so much better with white pants.

[@Wizardsleave69]

No. All of these range from terrible to not terrible.

[@jasonbeneke4710]

Every single year, just when u thought you've already seen the worst uniform ever worn by pro sports club, a new low is reached. When did competence, talent & even a baseline of overall intelligence just completely leave the people in charge of designing uniforms for professional sports team in the United States? 🤦‍♂️

[@The313detroiter]

You’re joking, right? Every single Tigers fan is pissed about these. We’ve waited 3+ years for these, and this is what we got. These are a joke.

[@YouTubeChannell7]

Well hey I’m a jays fan and we still waiting….we are the last team now to have one I believe that is actually doing one

[@The313detroiter]

@@KZbinChannell7 I hope yours turn out better. I know our line up is literal road kill, but we didn’t need to put actual tire tracks on them.

[@YouTubeChannell7]

@@The313detroiter ours should probably just be a construction theme. Toronto is nothing but construction and the team is under construction too😅 might as well have the Blue Jays maybe orange cone jerseys, an orange cone is more likely to perform compared to half the team too😅 oh just kill me already lol

[@jacksonpriestap3685]

As a Tigers fan, I really like these.

[@kevinlopez-gibbs3454]

They are terrible and they look just like the nike city jersey the pistons had. The nationals city connect to me are the best one with the dbacks jersey right behind it

[@larata9]

Its time to move on from black jersey over played

[@cjkavy2299]

I think these are some of the worst. Hat is as bland as could possibly be, and the jerseys are as bad as the pistons road kill jerseys. Wish they’d actually try something with all these newer instead of just black and dark colors. With the meijer logo on the sleeve it feels like a promotion they’d give away to the first 5,000 fans for a Tuesday day game in September
