For those who wondered when Nike would start to make its mark on Major League Baseball, wonder no more. After previously introducing “ColorRush” and “City” uniforms to the NFL and NBA respectively, this morning Nike has dropped its new “City Connect” series on the baseball world.
Just one team will see their new City Connect uniform unveiled today at launch, the Boston Red Sox. Following this, the program will slowly expand across the rest of the league over the course of several seasons.
It used to be that college and pro sports teams kept their same basic uniform design for decades. Now, influenced by Nike’s control over the Oregon Ducks, many teams are varying their colors and having three or four different versions of their uniforms in the same season.
Are the too-long baggy pants a “dog-whistle” to BLM, a sign of wokeness? Why don’t they go all the way and add hoodies to the uniform?
That’s racist.
The Boston Construction Workers?
They look like Easter eggs.
Neither do I.

I guess its not much of a running game anymore with those “bellbottoms” to trip over.
Built for speed.
