In the second year as the official uniform provider of Major League Baseball, Nike announced seven clubs in baseball to be the trial run of a uniform line they called City Connect. With the idea that each team would have a City Connect uniform in rotation by the year 2023, the seven clubs chosen to start out with were the Boston Red Sox, Miami Marlins, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers.
The idea of City Connect in MLB really came from the success Nike had in doing the same thing with teams in the National Basketball Association.
