MLB Unveils 8 New City Connect Uniforms for 2026 Season
The City Connect uniforms are back in MLB for this season. MLB unveiled City Connect uniforms for eight teams Thursday morning. Prior to the start of the regular season, the teams partnered closely with Nike and Fanatics, MLBs uniform manufacturer, for the next batch of City Connect jerseys. The eight teams: Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers. The goal for these uniforms is to reflect "the energy and pride of each Clubs community, offering bold and expressive interpretations that celebrate both team history and whats ahead for the game." The descriptions of each uniform below are courtesy of MLB. "A brighter powder blue anchors the design as a modernized callback to the Clubs beloved 1980s uniforms. Red piping, an updated 'Atlanta' script and ATL block letter sleeve patch marry vintage style with todays team colors." Rooted in the soul of Baltimore, the design pays tribute to Camden Yards through motifs including the brass home run plaques, wrought-iron scoreboard clock and a Camden B inspired by the 1890s Baltimore Baseball Club. An Oriole bird sits perched proudly atop the BMORE wordmark. "Embracing the color that defines the franchise, pinstripes make a modern comeback in a tone-on-tone style and a nod to the popular vest-style jersey last worn more than two decades ago. A sleeve graphic features the iconic Tyler Davidson Fountain, which begins flowing each year around Opening Day." "A bold fuchsia-to-blue gradient draws inspiration from Kansas Citys official City of Fountains logo, channeling the spirit of the citys people and iconic waterways. The updated R logo pays homage to the Clubs original 1969 mark, while a heart logo reflects Kansas Citys place as the nations heartland." "A water-toned base and cream accent evoke Wisconsins endless lakes, sandy shores and sandstone bluffs, while a gradient wordmark captures the states beautiful summer sunsets. A Wisco wordmark on the chest, state motto on the collar, bobber jock tag detail and redesigned Barrelman sleeve patch round out a uniform that celebrates the teams history and Wisconsins rich heritage." "Built around Pittsburghs unmistakable black and gold identity, the uniform features a rugged, pirate-style wordmark whose font draws inspiration from the citys 'Sister Bridges.' Red accents and Jolly Roger elements add boldness without breaking the citys iconic color palette." "Celebrating the Padres bi-national region and culture through honoring its traditions and families with a focus on Da de los Muertos, the design features a sunset-ombre San Diego chest wordmark, La Catrina sleeve patch, marigold-patterned trim, bone colored hat and pants, and papel picado jock tag." "Cochineal red anchors a design steeped in Texas and Mexican heritage, highlighted by the Tejas chest wordmark, a charro-embossed belt and mariachi-inspired fill patterns."
