Sox City Connect/Southside jerseys ranked #5


Recommended Posts

Debut: June 5, 2021

Verdict: Staying within the Sox’s iconic black-and-white color scheme but adding a new twist to the look works great, as does putting Southside across the chest. The only problem is that now I have Tony LaRussa falling asleep in the dugout in these uniforms forever embedded into my brain.

Grade: A

Marlins #1 and Padres #3 with most vibrant color combos.

I think with the best ones is that they (at least the Sox and Marlins) submitted designs to Nike instead of vice versa.

If I could change one thing about the Sox, I'd swap the Chi hat for this hat that a local artist made and they did a giveaway for. It's one of my favorite hats that I've got.

Thoughts on others, in order of the rankings of this article.

  • Baltimore should have had the color on the outside instead of the inside for some weird reason.
  • Why in the world did the Cardinals make their pinstripes so hard to see???
  • Philly is fine design wise, but the color scheme - while I get it - is too far of a departure.
  • Long live the Peagle. Love Texas' jersey.
  • Mets needed more purple to contrast with the gray if they're going with the subway lines.
  • Boston has grown on me.
  • Angels should adopt these as their primaries.
  • CINCY looks like a sublimated softball jersey.
  • Royals went simple and it paid off.
  • Brewers is only ruined by MKE, much like the Sox "Chi"
  • If there was more red in the Serpientes jersey, it'd be top, top tier.
  • Skateboarding Ray and the texture = win
  • Cleveland's is boring, no idea why it's ranked high.
  • I can't decide if I love or hate Colorado's green.
  • Padre's are grand.
  • Washington should keep these but stop doing three letter abbreviations for the love of god.
  • Marlins are fucking fire and are a great way to pay homage to city culture and the past.

Yankees are a joke for not participating (and they lost jersey purity arguments the second they slapped a giant concrete logo on their sleeves). A's are a joke in general.

Minnesotas look real nice, apparently they debut tomorrow.

no way " smithside" is better than Los Serpientes

The Sox jersey has tiny flaws (spacing between letters, my aforementioned hat critique) and it's still upper echelon. I'd like to see it with gray pants as well.

And like I said, add more red - or even teal - to Serpientes and it becomes something the Dbacks should keep in rotation.
