The Red Sox will take a special departure from the usual team colors for Patriots’ Day weekend games in 2021.
Unveiled on Tuesday, Boston will don “City Connect” jerseys (designed in collaboration with Nike) meant to pay tribute to the “unique bond between the club and the City of Boston,” and the Boston Marathon specifically according to a team press release. The yellow and blue colors reflect the traditional colors of the marathon, which is traditionally held on Patriots’ Day.
The Red Sox will wear the jerseys on the weekend of April 17 and 18 in a series against the Chicago White Sox.
