In a market like Chicago with a history of both teams, how great would it be to be able to collaborate with our partners in the Bulls, along with Nike and Fanatics, to do something that is unique and very different.” Both the White Sox and Bulls have specific elements throughout the uniform. The black and red colorway pays tribute to both franchises, and the pinstripes on the jersey serve as visual lineage to the Bulls’ iconic years in the 90’s and the White Sox history. The most subtle detail in the uniform comes in the neckline area, which includes all nine championships that both franchises have won in their histories. All three White Sox World Championships (1906, 1917, and 2005) are in white, and all six Bulls Championships (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 1998) are in red. Also, only team with TWO game caps, lol (more sales/revenues, yay!!!) https://www.mlb.com/news/white-sox-release-bulls-inspired-city-connect-uniforms I was thinking this had Brooks Boyer written all over it, and there you go. He's terrible. Just terrible.

May 1, 2025May 1 I love that “Bred in Chicago” is a side slogan on this, with the logo being a tube sock.

I feel the same way...BUT...all 3 of my boys already talked me into ordering some of the new stuff. I have a feeling this new look would sell big-time! I am glad we are keeping the Southside uniform in the rotation as it ranks up there with the best!
May 1, 2025May 1 Marlins unveiled their City Connect and it's also a massive downgrade / is taking a big nod from the Heat's Vice jerseys. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MLB ⚾ (@mlb) Nike is out here committing baseball terrorism.
May 1, 2025May 1 I don’t care what you guys think, those jerseys are Miami. I like them. I was very down on the padres and Boston Red Sox and then I realized baseball is fun, and it should be fun, and these jerseys are one offs. however, all above opinions are null and void when it comes to the white sox

Right now of the new City Connects 2.0 I'd say Miami, DC, the Sox and Rockies are all downgrades. Dbacks and Boston leaked jerseys are equal. Giants and Dodgers are upgrades. Edit: We know the Sox are keeping Southside and the Red Sox are keeping the Marathons. Are any other teams holding onto their original City Connects? Sadly, the Nats retired the Cherry Blossoms.
May 5, 2025May 5 29. White Sox (previously: 29) Your mileage may vary, but for my money, the White Sox’s City Connect jerseys, which are a collaboration with the Chicago Bulls, might be my absolute favorite City Connect jerseys in all of baseball. This '90s kid is hearing The Alan Parsons Project every time the White Sox run on the field in those. mlb.com

May 5, 2025May 5 I was at the games over the weekend and at the team stores and Grandstand. They were crowded with fans looking at the new City Connect apparel. From what I saw people were 't buying alot of the new stuff. The new jerseys are nice but it looks too much like a Bulls jersey. I also think the previous City Connect jerseys are better looking than the new ones. I would think that most fans would rather have old ones instead of the new ones. I'm guessing that the new numerous City Connect hats will be more popular than the new jerseys. I don't know if they release the merchandise sale results but I don't think the new City Connect items will be as popular as the old ones.

I was slightly negative on the jerseys before seeing the hats and finished product on the players, now I'm slightly positive. I agree the hat will be a big seller, it just has a nice design to it that's unique and nostalgia tinted at the same time.

I agree that it doesn't replace the old one but a nice variant to have.
May 6, 2025May 6 https://www.mlb.com/news/white-sox-bulls-city-connect-uniforms-years-in-the-making Boyer and Merkin really working hard to sell jerseys lol. Jordan is not going to come to Chicago to help JR hawk merchandise lol.
May 10, 2025May 10 The 1.0 is definitely perfection. I hope it is true that they bring that back into rotation as is noted a couple of places on the web. I didn't like the 2.0 from the leak, but it is still nice. The logos that came from this one are great. Got a hoodie, as I figured I have something to rock for Bulls games now that's still Sox-related, ha. I usually am wearing the City Connect hockey jersey from 2022 giveaway to any Hawks/Wolves game I make it to.
June 11, 2025Jun 11 I've noticed that the Nike White Sox City Connect jerseys and t-Shirts are being discounted on the internet. The hats are not being discounted. This tells me that the hats are selling and the new jerseys are not.
