As fans saw in Monday night’s game, there is great potential in Nike City Connect jerseys. Though not everyone universally adores Houston’s dark blue Space City set, the reviews I saw on Twitter were generally positive and at least into the idea, if not the full execution.
The Cleveland Guardians do not have a City Connect jersey and will not have one this season, unfortunately. The series, which was created to “celebrate the bond between each Club and its city” through visual representation of “the personality, values, and customs that make each community and their residents unique,” has been rolled out for 14 MLB clubs so far.
