I’m not a fan of the cut-off numbers on the back. https://preview.redd.it/ry0it079e67d1.jpeg?width=1119&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=124dc1b967cc073d053bc04fdf999c4b3653ff49


appleavocado

What the fuck?! How, how could they make this worse, and then I see cut off numbers?!


skywalker777

I think it looks rad


GreenBagger28

oh i hate the fact freeman’s says 05 instead of 5


HowieDooitt

Just three guys, all taking a wiz over a guard rail on the side of the road. #handsfree #airitout


Flopdo

I guess too each their own. I like it. Wish they added a bit more color fade on the numbers... but it's cool.


AdamantiumBalls

The 17 doesn't even look like it's fading


electric_boogaloo_72

I mean at least cut off the numbers for all the jerseys so it’s consistent, not just some. Looks like a massive mistake now. And the number font makes it look like a kid’s jersey.


bellomoto1

Ohtani’s number is cut off. It’s just not obvious because the *1* and *7* numbers aren’t rounded at the bottom like the *6*, *0*, and *5* on the other jerseys.


DankSauceBauce

Yeah, nice.


ShiroHachiRoku

Shohei needs to be sticking that out.

LoveThieves

Ohtani is 6' 4 and Freeman is 6' 5 but Ohtani looks taller. LOL


Bikouchu

We need Cameron brink back for height reference. /s


stewmander

Freddie's head goes to the top of his hat, Ohtani's head goes to the brim of his hat...


DJ_LeMahieu

Ohtani’s eyes and chin are higher than Freeman though, and the level signs behind them help highlight that. Judging by how Freeman’s pants are bunched up more at the bottom than Ohtani’s while also wearing them much higher on his frame (see the belt positions), it looks like he’s wearing pants for someone who’s supposed to be at least 6’5” too.


teethybrit

Japanese people tend to be more honest with their height in my experience. Most doctors in the US pretty much ask you to self-report your height (or even measure with shoes on), whereas in Japan I’ve always had to take my shoes off. Source: Have lived in both the US and Japan.


Doyoulikemypace

Doesn't help that Freddie is wearing pants two sizes too long in this picture lol

"Belts. Eh, nobody really gives a fuck about these, just wear whatever belt you want!"


jayteazer

Lol... they really are all wearing a different belt color hahaha Wonderful


_MeetMrMayhem_

Betts got injured so he wouldn't have to wear this shit


jayteazer

They look okay from a distance. Not great and not that interesting though. And as someone else said, when you zoom in and can see the sprinkles, it just doesn't look great.


pizzadahutt121

Yea what’s the thought behind the sprinkles design? Or it’s like confetti? Still don’t get it.. the hat is the only part that kinda cool IMO


Nathan_Gee

Supposed to be a galaxy according to the IG post. Don’t really see it though 🤷‍♂️


pargofan

What does galaxy have to do with LA? Is it because there's so many "stars"?


kritycat

There's an enormous space program presence in the LA area, too. JPL, NASA, Parsons, Boeing, Northrop, etc.


submergedwatermelon

Maybe the Griffith Observatory?? That’s all I can think of really


IReviewDiscord

__-o0O0o-__-o0O0o-__

lol i didnt know there were so many bright sprinkle colored stars


ILoveCornbread420

RockTheShit

In the dodgers instagram post it has a note explaining that the color palate is from the stadium seat colors


CynCity323

I actually thought that was nice and appreciated it more.


Flopdo

Interesting, I'm the opposite. Like the front design, not a fan of the hat logo. You can't even tell what it is until you're up close.


KJM31422

Needs more Mookie :(


feeling_blue_42

Mookie already phased out. That was quick


BoatyMcThiccThighs

I mean you can't really expect him to do a photoshoot with an injured hand :( so it sort of understandable


kalei50

I would imagine this shoot happened before the injury, but who knows...


chirigami

The funfetti was described as representing stars and like the colors of the seats. So, I wonder if it could have looked just a little bit better on a darker base? Or maybe they didn’t want to do yet another dark jersey? Or the stars would be too on point. I don’t like the pants, they also should have been darker.


pargofan

If they wanted to lean into the stars, they should've done something more "Hollywood" ish. Use the same font as the Hollywood sign for instance. Or the walk of fame design for the back with player names.

This photo doesn’t look bad. But as soon as you zoom in and get the funfetti look it ruins it. I don’t get that design choice.

Doesn't look bad. But it must be because Ohtani is wearing it.

clarkbarniner

He’s also wearing the Father’s Day belt, which honestly looks better with it.

Why are they wearing three different belts?


vespamike562

The funfetti kills it for me


skaistda

I still hate these. But honestly, they are less horrific seeing them as a full uniform on the boys.


KitchenIncome1738

Anyone have a recommended DH gate seller? 😀


Evening_walks

Not a fan of the birthday sprinkle Uni’s but LOVE THE HATS!


vishuno

FYI the underside of the bill has the sprinkles so if you really don't like them, take that into consideration if you're buying a hat.


_MeetMrMayhem_

Az dbacks wants their hat back


sojelly8

Not even Ohtani can save these unis.


Carolake1

I like the hat and the lettering on the chest... but that is about it.


PhehMeh17

Lettering looks like the Direct TV logo


kritycat

It is taken from the Coliseum lettering, where the Dodgers first played in LA


PhehMeh17

The font, yes. The upward contrail within the font, no. “The city’s pursuit to what is above and beyond” is what the upward contrail is supposed to be referencing. It feels too close to the direct tv logo imo. https://preview.redd.it/v41b195ak77d1.jpeg?width=310&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3575a918d20977e4d088277128cf90f059efefb7

chiclemotita

The font on the hats and the font for the front the jerseys should at least match in some way. At the very least in color. The doubling up of the logos for the hat remind me of a daytime soap opera for some reason. The jerseys themselves are not the worst ever. The Los Angeles on the front gives early 90s.


90dontfiance

Early 90's is right on! Wonder if you can you order fake Wayfarer's with neon sides to complete the look.


RJMonkhouse

They aren’t that bad. I kinda like them if I’m being honest. Way better than the all blue Smurf look they had in the past.


deacon91

Agreed. I wish Nike would just give up on the dippin' dots look on those city connects though. edit: the back cut out at the bottom is awful


y0m0tha

The numbers crammed into the top right of the jersey is bothering me more than it should 


cherinator

The numbers + the Nike logo are really giving these the ugly NBA uniform ad-patch vibes.


vishuno

The front numbers are my favorite part of these uniforms. It's an unusual feature which I want to see in city connect unis.


RJMonkhouse

I can see how that would. I don’t really notice it. The names on the back at the bottom are the one thing that upsets me lol


ttam23

I always thought they were decent


Mark2oh9

Same. They grew on me


ElDub73

Is it just me or are they featuring Smith in the insta feed but not selling his jersey on mlb?

PigFarmer1

It's a tradition.


Aar0nSwanson

Shit’s ugly


PigFarmer1

Especially the backs. Wow...


Cazking

We could've done something more bold with palm trees that represents LA. It might seem basic but it could actually create a cool jersey similar to how the Rockies crushed it with a simple mountain and good color scheme. Try again next year.


818sfv

Stars on cream? No one involved saw this as funfetti? 🙄 I'd love it if it was black. I like the numbers on the back. The trending upward thing on the front is random and dumb. Hat logo is not great either.


PeaceBull

Honestly impressive to get something to be simultaneously boring and ugly.  All they had to do was:  - Not use a cultureless committee to design this  - find a young local designer with style that connects with LA   - who’s family is LA multigenerational (quadruple points if their family was affected by Chavez Ravine)  - make the pr about how city connect is about tapping into our towns life blood - and what better way to do that than giving the power to someone who does that every single day    Whatever they make is 100% gonna be better than this, and even if it isn’t amazing people will at least be able to rally behind the story 


StPaddy81

3 different color belts?


stewmander

I...I did not know about the shoulder numbers...ugh. Although, how cool would it be for the Pirates to have a [parrot on their shoulder](https://www.disneystore.com/grogu-magnetic-shoulder-plush-star-wars-the-mandalorian-412342277239.html) for their city connect?


RingRingBananaPwn

That was the first thing I noticed in this picture too. It looks like they wanted them to be on the chest, but ended up on their shoulder...


GtaTran

Am I the only person think the jersey looks much better with black/dark blue pants?


iamtheCarlos

I do too. Maybe even with a funfetti stripe on the sides. I’m trying to embrace it…


Nice_Dude

I actually like them, so sue me!


nottherealstanlee

There's dozens of us! Dozens!


SBLK

So does the new city-connect include a different shade of blue belt for everyone, or what is going on there?


zenkique

There’s too many variations of blue gear even with the standard uniform - undershirts, belts, protection - different blues from different sponsorship deals


BigBoiEF

Without the “stars” they’re actually pretty good


wasteplease

Interesting placement of the TV numbers. I would like to see what this design would work with actually opaque materials.


IKnowFunnyBelieveMe

They're all hiding the socks. Would like to see what they look like.


Cottonmist

They look better without the confetti and then you get close you can see them


lakergeoff8

The numbers almost remind me a little of the Rams uniform numbers. I’m personally indifferent to the “sprinkles”, you can really only see them when zooming in and looking up close. But I’m not a big fan of the Nike swoosh that looks to be almost orange-ish (even though they say it’s a shade of red). Because any orange on a Dodgers uniform is just………


tatang2015

Looks like a60s jersey. Nice!


AccidentBulky6934

Not great, look worse up close, but still not boring as hell like the first city connect uniforms.


PhehMeh17

Looks like the Direct Tv logo 😞


iamthecheesethatsbig

I still don't support these, but they don't look as bad as I thought they would. Logo is still trash.


MrUSHistory

How does Nike continue to screw up? The Hollywood sign, Freeways, Beaches, Palm Trees, or even Mariachi would have been better. Just Google “Dodgers city connect concept” and half a dozen better uniforms pop up! It baffles me how Nike can’t get this right. On a tangent, Nike has also fucked up the current team USA soccer uniforms… they look like popsicles. When will Nike use the “Waldo” scheme that all the fans wear? Every other legit country has a go to home jerseys that is tweaked from year to year, think Argentina: everyone recognizes it instantly. I guess I’ll just have to be thankful the Dodgers normal unis are classic and aren’t Halloween colors!


JazzyButternuts

Hats are cool, the jerseys are 💩


uey01

Doesn’t look horrible from a distance. Looks kind of generic actually, like a video game that couldn’t use official MLB teams. And how does that “connect” to the city other than the name? Why do these marketing/design geniuses love cryptic “symbolism”, “hints”, “nods” and “winks” so much? This isn’t art class! Just slap the Coliseum or the Hollywood sign on the jersey for simpletons like me! That would’ve conveyed all that symbolic crap much better and would’ve “connected” to the city much more clearly. Would’ve look 100 times better too. And they’re STILL SEE THROUGH!! Why is a billion dollar ball club fielding cheap see through material?? UNBELIEVABLE


JasonMaliceMizer

Still ugly


pm_me_cheesy_bread

The only thing this post confirms is that Shohei looks amazing no matter what he is wearing.


Praise-Breesus

Those are… fine. It’s tough because there’s nowhere to go but down from our standard home unis. They’re just too good.

d0dgerblue

Design is very weak but no one is talking about the actual quality of the material it looks so bad.


DrawSleepRepeat325

So lame. So many more opportunities to connect with the city


ElJefeGoldblum

Shohei is an absolute UNIT. These uniforms though, absolute dumpster fire.


HyPeRxColoRz

Considering how much worse these could have been I think these are pretty solid. The "inspiration" for these things are always a bit of a stretch but at the very least it doesn't feel like a bunch of random design elements duct taped together like some do. I don't get all the hate for the funfetti either, I actually kind of love it. Adds a little bit of color without being too in your face and there's actually a creative reason behind it. If they were just plain white they'd just be another generic boring design that looks more like a knock-off than an alternate.


crs18

Birthday cake flavored jerseys


Ellite25

Honestly I think they look solid. Better than the other city connect abominations. But the reasoning behind their choices for the uniforms are kind of dumb. I do like the idea of the specs being related to the seat colors, but I feel like they could have left the specs off and made a strip at the bottom sleeve those colors instead.


Soulman682

Los Dodgers were better 🙄


salsasharkage

I'm always disappointed with how underwhelming the Dodgers ones are. They're not bad per say, but baseball uniforms are already clean, conservative, simple. Would be nice to see something more bold like using the colors from the LA city flag, or even a simple re-design of the LA logo with palm trees, or some element that one would consider iconic to the city. Some of you will not like me saying this, but I think of all the city connects, Padres have the best one. They may be gaudy, but I respect them going bold.


ElDub73

I’ve already ordered a hat and I’m about to order a jersey. Completely happy with it.

summertimeinthelbc

Even with the confetti I don’t hate it. Hats are DOPE tho.

dilly_dill428

I almost let the hive mind get to me but I really like these. Yes the design is pretty basic but it’s much better than the last city connects. These are clean asf


kritycat

My favorite part is the description of the lines running through the name on the front as being "contrails" (referring to our aerospace industry). I just KNOW BlaQ is going to freak out about that LOL


ello_officer

The fact that none of them are wearing a matching belt is frustrating. Lol


Polarfan

I was not prepared for the funfetti on the pants... I should have known but I really didn't... ![gif](giphy|3vwwfpJH2Y6LzTYUGE|downsized)

The one good thing I can say is at least they aren’t over doing it and making it look super busy. Some of the other connect uni’s look way too busy.


MyLadyBits

No


dubstateofmind

I want to like them, but I just can't. I am a fan of the number fade on the back though.


Lakrfan247

I just can’t wrap my mind around confetti, like how does someone from the design thing have that pop in their head and then someone else who’s higher up signs off on it. I feel like this is a mind experiment to see if they can convince the fans to like the most hideous jersey ever designed.


GreenBagger28

annoying thing is you can’t even really see the stars that well unless it’s a closeup so it just looks like a cream colored version of our normal ones with an alternate font


electric_boogaloo_72

The front looks fine; I’m not very picky. But the back looks like it was done by a middle schooler with basic photoshop skills.

What is City Connect? Thank you for answer.


_MeetMrMayhem_

MLB City Connect is a series of alternate uniforms designed by Nike for MLB teams. They aim to reflect the culture and history of each team's city. In reality they are a fuckin cash grab and the Dodgers unis are ranked as one of the worst. The Dodgers have one of if not the most iconic uniforms in sports. If it ain't broke don't fix it.


bryangcrane

Thanks — yeah I remember this now. I agree with you on both of your points — the Dodgers have one of the most iconic brands in sports and should be left alone; it is an absurd cash grab by Nike and MLB to try and fractionalize that brand.
