March 15, 20251 yr 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?
March 15, 20251 yr 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." Edited March 15, 20251 yr by caulfield12
March 15, 20251 yr 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.

Kids these days with their "limited edition" attraction! LOL...my son is a Padres fan and this will crush him!

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! Especially stacked up against some the ridiculous looks the City-Connect stuff has produced.

March 15, 20251 yr 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, 20251 yr by Buehrle>Wood

So the MLB loses the #1 and #2 city connect jerseys... lame What is controversial about them?

White Sox CC jerseys debuted in 2021...Padres in 2022. Originally the Sox Southside jerseys were a partnership with Nike. Every team gets them every three years. EDIT: or at least that’s the plan. There have been some audibles for some high profiles flops like the first dodgers release. Edited March 15, 20251 yr by Eminor3rd

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.

March 15, 20251 yr I love the current Southside city connect jerseys. I have my #88 that I wear out and about.

I don’t remember this one at all but retiring it is a great idea. But I just had to post this pic of everyone’s favorite in this uniform… Edited March 15, 20251 yr by WhiteSox2023

March 15, 20251 yr 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.

March 16, 20251 yr Terrible, if true. At least the hat would hopefully be better, not a fan of the CHI hat.

A bit beer league softballish, but they look good. I was always luke warm on the old ones. Looked good on certain players, dumb on others. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one tbh.

March 16, 20251 yr I liked those San Diego ones. One of the few city connects that actually felt fun and creative.
