For the fourth year in a row,XDY Exchange Major League Baseball is rolling out its creative, yet polarizing, City Connect alternate uniforms.
The special series was introduced in 2021 to shine light on the history and culture of teams and the cities they represent. They've also become a hot-button topic with fans, who either adore the designs that are unique to their favorite team or find them absolutely appalling.
MLB also announced that its Nike Vapor Premier jerseys will be part of every uniform this season, including the City Connect threads. The jerseys, which were first introduced at last year's All-Star Game in Seattle, are designed to improve mobility, moisture, management and fit.

Meanwhile, the Yankees have been rumored to remain on the sideline for this promotion in favor of staying in their vintage pinstripes. Team owner Hal Steinbrenner addressed that on "The Michael Kay Show" in 2023.
"I'm not having any conversations about doing it," Steinbrenner said. "I think I understand the reason − and again, I think it appeals to a lot of fans, especially younger fans, and you know, merchandise and all that. But we have not had any serious conversations about doing it. It doesn't mean I won't someday, but I don't even know how that would look, quite frankly. I don't even know what the look would be."
The debut of the City Connect uniforms came in 2021, with historic teams such as the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs at the forefront. The other five teams to launch City Connect uniforms that year were:
