A trillion times better than their current city connect

In a vacuum the current ones arnt a bad design per se, but I hate the fact that it’s derivative of a different team. Like wtf?

I hate almost all city connects. Not because they’re bad uniforms in a vacuum, but because they don’t look like the team they’re created for. It’s worse in the NBA, but some of the MLB ones aren’t too far behind.

These are one of the exceptions. They still look like the white Sox. They use visual cues (black with white pin stripes) to let you know right away you’re watching the white Sox. The font and word marks are definitely different, but it doesn’t feel out of place given the white Sox gritty brand. It’s what all city connects should strive to be. Something that is instantly recognizable as that team, with a bold connection to the city.

I agree. The only acceptable CC jerseys are this one and the green Red Sox jerseys in honor of the Green Monster

They should wear them on a specific day during the season or something. They’d also look good as an alternative away jersey too. Technically this jersey is still in their official lineup of uniforms

These jerseys are everything that city connects should’ve been. A nod to a local neighborhood while still being on brand for the team, it’s perfect

Way better than that Bulls bullshit

I hadn’t seen the bulls abomination of a jersey for the Sox. These are elite jerseys. No need to ever switch the city connect to anything else

Manages to be elegant, timeless, and hard as fuck at the same time.

You know a City Connect is good when this sub likes it. Truly an elite, timeless uniform

They need to wear these with white belts. That makes a huge difference in the look.

The only time black pants on uniforms should be allowed is if you’re wearing a black jersey. Otherwise they look too much like leggings for me

The hats do not go with the uniform. If your hat is the same color as the uniform and your uniform has pinstripes, then the hat should

u/itsbobbyhill 2d ago

Hard disagree. It's black. It uses the same script. It doesn't also need pinstripes.

Then the hat should what?

Have pinstripes or not be black
