For the Brewers city connect MKE, the lines made “45” and the jerseys where made during the brewers 45th season

[@LunarForte]

Hey Brodie, just wanted to mention Re:Diamondbacks jerseys, they only used the 2-tone look for a handful of games in 2022. Outside of that, the pants they have paired with their city connect have matched the color of the tops.

[@texascard]

They wore them with white pants when they debuted in 2021 But in 2022 they made them the same color as the jersey

[@JamesK1963]

I like the Phillies the most. Love the blue. Love the gradient color scheme. They look high tech and modern, too. And that’s a nice contrast from their standard uniforms.

[@xxAKSHUNxx]

36:10 Philly font is supposed to mimic the font from the Declaration.. decent idea but didn’t come out too good

[@LookingBackLost]

Great catch- had no idea

[@brodiebrazil]

[@potluck5896]

I'm graduating from college in 4 days with a degree in design (graphic design, etc.) and I definitely have a lot to say about these jerseys 😂

Same lol. With every jersey released, I could hear my professors roasting them in my head saying what could have been done better.

[@ciello___8307]

Dont even need a design degree to see that most of them suck

[@terryarista7105]

You should draw your version for each teams city connect. I’d be interested in seeing it.

[@pebmets]

For the Mets, The pants are white and the purple represents the Number 7 subway line which runs to Citi Field.

[@thomasjoseph3488]

Cool.

[@mosinc7388]

That's not the bridge people don't like taking from Tampa. That's the replacement bridge for the one that was hit by the barge in 1980. The skyway bridge.

[@brodiebrazil]

Thanks for clarification. Now I remember the one they don’t like is a low rise

[@tylermccann848]

The bridge that connects St Pete to Tampa is the Howard Franklin, which is currently under construction to add a couple of lanes each way. The bridge in the "SkyRay" logo is the iconic Skyway bridge, which connects St Pete to the southern cities within the Tampa Bay region such as Bradenton and Sarasota.

[@jonathanhancock8134]

The White Sox "Southside" City connect Jersey is My Favorite.

[@Gallalad1]

As a brewers fan I loved the Brew Crew design. Feels very Wisconsin and I think the MKE hat design should be the default honestly. You can tell it’s landed well too because they’ve used it in a lot of games

[@ImImmerse]

From Cincinnati here! The 'CINCY' across the front is apparently supposed to be a nod to an iconic illuminated 'CINCINNATI' sign we have here on the side of a large duke energy building downtown - and I must say it is very similar. As for the new 'C' on the hat and sleeve, supposedly Nike and the Reds were going for a modern take on the classic logo that has barely changed forever. Also on the hat, the red stripe you mentioned on the brim is paying homage to the design of the 1919-era cap's similar to what the Reds wore in the Field of Dreams game.

[@retstak]

I'm weird. I'm actually fond of the Giants' creamsicle jerseys.

[@mikepuncsak7297]

You're having fun with this hmmm Brodie?...go for it -you so deserve it !

[@wolfythewolf4457]

Not sure if you were aware but the colors of the Phillies jerseys are a nod to the the flag, which is light blue and yellow.

[@REP.Dodgers]

For the Rockies: 5280 is feet in a mile, they are the mile high city, hence 5280.

[@brodiebrazil]

oh yeah, got that part, I think the double diamonds meant something. that's the part I wasn't clear on

[@michaelleroy9281]

Every team in Denver has the 5280 on their uniforms, if you're unfamiliar with the city you might not know what that means

I really, really like the Rays City Connects. Kind of wish Brodie was more informed about the details in their uniforms! As a theme though, i think that would have benefited every team though!

[@joelrobinson4497]

There’s a skate culture in Tampa Bay, the texture is supposed to look like “grip tape”

Dodgers missed an opportunity to have the dodger text like the Hollywood sign. That would have been nicer.

[@thomasjoseph3488]

They should make a CC for the Expos. Best retro uni, already!

[@BendyDH]

New Nats CC? They already announced 2024 is the last year they’re using their current CCs, no announced plans for a new one but I assume they’re making another like the Dodgers since the Nats were one of the originals also.

[@thomasjoseph3488]

@@BendyDH To heck with the Nats! I'm talking about the real Montreal Expos! I bet a retro Expos CC would be a best seller.

The Pirates could use a white belt ...in my opinion

Giants should have used the same 'international orange' they used for the bridge.

[@swagginburger]

Absolutely love this video but safe to say you and I have very different opinions 😅

[@Azeria]

I love Seattle’s in the abstract as a Mariners fan, the hat is the best CC cap alongside Philly. However as a graphic designer, as a marketer, it is obvious from the vast majority of city connects that Nike designed them centrally instead of someone who actually understands the culture of each city or region. A lot of them look like they Googled free fonts and slapped on either the city name or a nickname no one uses. I think the new Phillies is the only one that’s actually a clear win for actually connecting to the city AND being a clear reflection of the team and it’s because they worked closely with the players, with the team. Baltimore and Seattle and Tampa Bay are solid to me but nothing special like the Phills. The Braves is basically just a throwback, Atlanta has so much culture and their CC references next to none of it. I’m sure their fans like it but that’s because it’s just an alternate, it’s not a proper City Connect.

[@WindyCityHawkey]

The Cubs City Connect hasn't been worn yet this season but last season they wore the WrigleyVille jersey every Friday home game

[@nathanpage4887]

I love ours in Cleveland, only thing I would change is the front to The Land instead of CLE. The piping is cool because it's embroidered with the pattern on the front of the statues. The decision to go with cream instead of just white was great!

[@amandabarone787]

Pretty sure we didnt do it cause the Cavs have "The Land" for theirs

[@StephenAlexWalker]

Really like the Mets jersey, the White Sox and Astros ones are nice too.

[@DraevanDruid]

The Phillies jersey is blue and yellow to reflect the flag of Philadelphia. The flag of Philadelphia is the oldest city flag to have not changed at all since it was created. The reason for the blue and yellow is because Philadelphia was populated by people from Sweden. The font is supposed to represent using either a feather or metal tipped quill. Hence the sharp lines on the edges.

[@user-tn1kn7xj8n]

Philly should have done a Kelly Green jersey as a non-football team

[@Ty_web625]

I think the DBacks should’ve used something like the Yotes kachina

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Miami should make their City Connects their main jersey ChiSox' City Connect is as good as Miami's

[@thomasjoseph3488]

As a Marlins fan now, I love the CCs, too. I think everyone would like the team to revert to the teal with pinstripes at home as the regular uni.

Hey Brodie the lettering is suppose to represent the way they formed their lettere during Declaration of Independence era. This is Jersey Ken right outside Philly. Take care.

I wonder if they were worried about looking "Gay" or something but they should have had more cherry blossom Pink for the Nats, its basically nonexistant from afar.

[@ZacharyWhite25]

Hey Brodie, regarding the Texas Rangers city connect jerseys and hat. 4-21 is the date in history that the team played their first game as the Texas Rangers. The symbol on the sleeve of the jersey is the Peagle. It’s half panther, half eagle (a nod to the former Fort Worth Panthers and Dallas Eagles professional baseball teams that no longer exist). Also how the script and colors were decided. Those were nods to those two historical teams in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.

[@ronclark9724]

And don't forget every Texan learns in school that April 21,1836 is the date of the Battle of San Jacinto, in which General Sam Houston won Texas Independence from Mexico...

5280 is not a mountain designation. It's the footage of a mile. Not to smart if you don't know that. As far as KC That IS baby blue, light blue or sky blue not royal blue. The all blue dodgers is royal blue

[@BendyDH]

I see we have some differing opinions, the White Sox and the new Rays jerseys are my favorites, I absolutely love the look of them. I’m also a sucker for red and black so the Reds CC is also up there for me. The Giants is actually my least favorite, I think it’s just so boring and looks like a regular jersey they would go with if they rebranded, it just doesn’t pop at all for me.

[@-SkyCat-]

I still love my Mariners one.. its simple but good.. many good ones but i love Seattle, and San Diego's feels more Miami then San Diego

How about a Sacramento A’s city connect? Since it is west Sac, they could tie the State Capitol to the Tower Bridge with the A’s logo. I guess you had to be there. But I just invented a nothing burger.

[@lorimeyers3839]

I really don’t mean to sound like a miserable prick, but I think the city connects are a disaster. The Phillies’ city connects, that bluish greenish color, completely mis-matches with both the color of the seats and the color of the padded walls on the field. And then you have yellow mixed in. They’re just…gross. What a complete disaster on Nike’s part. Now, had the Phils done their 1938 wool yellow and blue unis, that’d be dope.

[@bkachief]

The Yankees should NOT be exempt. If all the others have to get one (minus the A’s), they should suffer with the rest of them.

[@frankiecastelloncaps]

But the Yankees did the first few Players Weekend Jerseys way back when. If Nike is paying them to design a new jersey? Is tradition really stopping them versus the Almighty $$$$$?

[@rp26-oc8di]

The Angels are Herbie the Love Bug!...they really cool.

I hope they get rid of city abbreviations and nicknames from city connect uniforms. I never liked it in NBA uniforms and it looks even worse on baseball jerseys. Also I’m not a fan of dark colored pants on baseball uniforms either.

Personally, the Rockies (with the white pants) & Nationals to me are my favorites

[@BendyDH]

For me it's White Sox and the new Rays CC, Rockies an Nats are also good though, for some reason the more I see the Nats one though the less I like it, not really sure why, the grey just doesn't do it as much for me I think

The Mets City Connect jerseys look like they belong to the Yankees.

[@Agentrock47]

If the yankees are so adamant about never participating in city connects because of "tradition" why wouid they just decide to pit the patch on the arm? I feel like they arent above city connects at all. Maybe they can even just use the little league world series winning teams jerseys since they have a little league ballpark?

As a Royals fan, I couldn’t be happier with the way ours look. Also why do are the Dodgers so boring, like you’ve got LA, so much to work with. Why not make a jersey that says “HOLLYWOOD” with the block font from the sign and put like an old-fashioned movie camera on the side and do a pink star on the cap with the Dodgers D inside, maybe even some film reel looking stripe down the side of the pants. Come on cowards.

[@ClintMcCollum]

To sum it all up... NIKE's City Connect uniforms are terrible and ugly, with a couple of "OK" creations.

[@Deerhunter60641]

[@atomwarlock4775]

All teams that play in CC uniforms need to let the fans know in advance when games are played in these uniforms. Then, let fans exchange their tickets for games that are played in regular uniforms. Most fans hate CC uniforms and don't want to look at them for 3 hours. I don't even want to look at them on TV either, so I'll listen to a game on the radio instead.

[@jsbach6529]

Sorry Guardians, combining a cheap 70s K-Mart track suit style with the 3-letter airport symbol on the front is the worst uniform our team has ever worn. Awful.

[@stevemartegani]

I think the whole concept of these uniforms is terrible. NBA has some truely bad versions too. Colors are linked to teams and history in the MLB, and the uniforms need to present that in the most quality, upscale, well designed way possible. So many of these are in stark contrast to the team colors and styles that they just don't even look like they belong in professional sports. Its a discrace to the brands, marketing and branding. The Yankees as much as I hate them, have the right idea.
