BrittBurnsFan Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 My apologies if this was covered in a different post...this popped up on my Facebook account...hadn't seen anything about this until now. Hope it isn't true. I know whether a person likes/dislikes a look is a personal/relative thing...but I LOVE our City-Connect look! I fear that whatever they come-up with can't meet the standard of our "current" City-Connect unis! Anyone else hear this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Padres are dumping their controversial City Connect jerseys after 2025... "The San Diego Padres are officially retiring their pink-and-mint City Connect uniforms after the 2025 season. The team revealed on Friday that the popular uniforms will be discontinued beginning in 2026, per Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times."

caulfield12 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 https://news.sportslogos.net/2021/05/28/white-sox-represent-the-southside-with-new-city-connect-uniform/baseball/ Could be something as simple as wanting to replace City Connect jerseys every five years...in order to re-energize sales. White Sox CC jerseys debuted in 2021...Padres in 2022. Originally the Sox Southside jerseys were a partnership with Nike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that turning uniform styles/designs over creates more buyers who want the new look...but our SouthSide stuff is all-time great in my opinion!

Buehrle>Wood Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) It's not up to the Sox. Getting forced upon all these teams. Actually this whole batch of teams are all at the top for best uniforms (except Boston...). Good news is we get 5 uniforms. Home, away and new ccs will be three of them. Can still keep the old city connects in the rotation. Edited March 15 by Buehrle>Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The intent was not to compete with the traditional, historic, standard, uniforms. These were to be dessert, temporary, throw away, icing on the cake, as permanent as a first spouse, special occasion, uniform. Oh yeah, and to make money. I probably should have listed that first.

Texsox Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I wouldn't mind seeing a homage to the lake front. The citizens of Chicago were blessed when the Montgomery Ward fought to keep the lakefront open for everyone. Burnham for his planning. Dead smelt would be appropriate currently, but maybe someone nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
