The Colorado Rockies have unveiled their 2025 MLB City Connect uniforms.
According to ESPN’s Anthony Gharib, the team will debut the jerseys on Friday at home against the Washington Nationals. The Rockies will then wear them for every Friday home game for the rest of the season.
The Rockies provided more information about the jerseys and the inspirations behind them.
It’s a big change-up from their old City Connect jerseys, which featured a green-and-white color scheme.
As Gharib noted, the new jersey colors are “inspired by the colors of Colorado sunsets and sunrises from the plains to the Rocky Mountains.”
“It’s the contrast between the white snow on the mountains and the light blue sky as night is falling, and when the sun comes up in the morning here, we get some reds and oranges that are just unbelievable,” Rockies’ vice president of community and retail operations Jim Kellogg told Gharib.
Gharib also noted that the Rockies are the first-ever MLB team to “debut a City Connect pullover jersey.”
“This is really about the youth,” Kellogg said. “We have a young team. And a throwback to [the] Little League jersey, which was always a pullover jersey, was a t-shirt or a pullover jersey. So it was kind of a youth movement going back to it.”
The Rockies have 13 Friday home games this year, so they’ll be routinely featured throughout the season, beginning with back-to-back weeks on April 18 and 25 against the Nats and then Cincinnati Reds.
