Column: Why the Dodgers’ new City Connect uniforms are an L.A. blast

For the Dodgers, City Connect 1.0 was a mess.

The Dodgers dumped the “Los Dodgers” caps for more traditional ones, then discarded the all-blue look in favor of a blue jersey and white pants. The splashes intended to evoke street art were practically invisible, with black on dark blue.

The “Los Dodgers” script across the jersey should have read “Los Doyers” — a phrase the franchise has trademarked — but staying true to the brand meant an unfortunate and unsatisfactory Spanglish compromise.
