While Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort seems to care about green only as the color of money, it works for his team’s new City Connect jerseys. That’s Conor McCormick-Cavanagh’s assessment of the new jerseys, posted by four of the Rockies’ players — Connor Joe, hometown hero Kyle Freeland, German Marquez and Ryan McMahon — on Loveland Pass.
MLB launched its City Connect program in 2021 to mix up alternate uniforms for teams. So these won’t be the Rockies’ primary outfits; these remain the purple and white uniforms. The Rockies will officially wear the jerseys for the first time on Saturday, June 4 in a game against the Atlanta Braves.
But in the meantime, in the Westword The Facebook post of the Rockies’ City Connect reveal, there’s a lot of talk about the new look…and Colorado license plates. John says:
Poor softball league, lots of beer, good times!
Add Otis:
It looks hideous! They’re like a minor league A baseball team uniform or a beer league softball team uniform… Well, at least Dinger, the worst team sports mascot, will get his color back origin 200 million years ago. .
Proposes Vanessa:
They look like Colorado license plates. Maybe the DMV designed them?
Kenneth asks:
I wonder if they have a red version? You know, for rentals!
Steven comments:
They look like a carton of Winston Salems menthol.
Todd observes:
Losing teams always pull out the gimmicks… Nice try, but that won’t distract us from the fact that the Rockies are still bad at baseball.
Sean adds:
These are as hideous as the attempts the Montforts made to become a winning organization. Guess we should just #EmbraceTheSuck.
Craig concludes:
The Montforts never tried to make the Rockies a winning organization. They are just milking the cash cow and being as cheap as possible.
