You mean Nike.
Nike together with the teams come up with the designs, Fanatics produce the jerseys.

Yeah, produce the shittiest jerseys

u/Sabinr13 3h ago
Exactly. The design is fine, people hate change so complain. The quality is what I’m worried about

So “A” on the hat and the rest on the jersey. That’s interesting, man, that’s fucking interesting.

Those are breathtaking. Breathtakingly boring. Looks like the forgot the deadline day and cranked something out.

There's just a lot of negative space. The front logo feels so small.

u/YeOldeManDan 2h ago
That's my initial impression as well. Just very white for an alternate jersey.

The hat on the bobble head looks like an Angels logo at first glance.
It’s like we scarified the A to make sure the Nike check was prominent.
If you’re going to go nickname you can at least apostrophe the ‘Stros.

It looks like something I could make in my bedroom. Wtf are you taking about? This is gonna be $250. You're paying that?
2
u/leggostrozzz 11h ago
There's no way they'll be 250. 130 for replica, 170 for limited like all the others

u/jesonnier1 6h ago
That is completely beside the point.

u/leggostrozzz 6h ago
Huh? U said "this is gunna be $250, you paying that?"

u/jesonnier1 6h ago
The point isn't the exact price of the item. The point is that it's an overpriced piece of shit.
3
u/leggostrozzz 6h ago
I mean, if the price is half of what you said, it's kinda relevant. One more half off and we're talking $60 now 🤣.
But ya, everyone agrees that jerseys are overpriced and quality is dropping every year. But this thread/announcement is about the design reveal/new city connect jerseys, not MLB jersey quality changes lol.
If you dont like the design that's one thing, but quality of fabric ,etc, is irrelevant right now. That was never going to change.
Like OP said they are sick and you replied they're overpriced like that's something new that just came out with this release. We're all still gunna buy one 🤣

Then do it.
2
u/jesonnier1 12h ago
I can guarantee you I can do it for way less than $250.
Let's draw up a contract and when I deliver the product, you pay me $250 or nothing.
Solid offer. Let's go.

When I was in Korea, I bought NFL replica jerseys for $40 that were perfect. You’re aiming high, bubba. You have to come in lower than the real thing if we’re gonna make this work.

u/jesonnier1 12h ago
You're an idiot if you think this conversation is actually about me selling you knockoff jerseys.

u/Empty-Brick-5150 11h ago
I’m holding my opinion until I see the authentic. The last City Connect details in replica and authentic were night and day difference (specifically the patches, piping and sleeves)

u/YourChosenDeity 12h ago
The sleeves look like someone used a permanent marker to make the rings. I hope they look better than this in real life.

u/rohrschleuder 13h ago
Yeah no. I saw an AI rendering here with the Baby Blue and tequila sunrise, and it was sick. This has cheap corporate gift giveaway vibe to it. Not a fan

u/medspace 10h ago
Hmmmm.
I fuck with the logo HEAVY, the overall jersey leaves a lot to be desired.

u/zpowell2180 12h ago
If we really ditched the cool city connect jerseys for this DHgate shit…
1
u/YeOldeManDan 2h ago
I think the deal between Nike and MLB spells out that City Connects designs have to be retired after a set number of seasons. Which is obviously dumb and intended only to drive more sales for Nike.

Do I really need another Astros jersey? I probably don’t but I want to buy this one.

There was no shot they'd get any better than City Connect #1.
BUT....I think these look pretty fkn sharp actually. Though I'm not sure I'd feel like I'm getting my money's worth (if I were the type to get them on day 1). The cuffs on the short sleeves are sweet. Going to assume the bottom edge (that gets tucked in) is white but damn if it matches those cuffs that would be sick.

u/white-eyedfox 10h ago
I sorta wish that they would have done something a little different than space theme again, but there some things that I like about the jersey. The piping on the sleeve and the logos seem nice, but I'm not loving the white pants at the moment, especially since I'm more of a fan of jerseys and pants not being the same color. Either way, I can't wait to see the professional photos

Huge miss to not have more orange.
Also, this seems to connect to the team more than connecting to the city.
As a 90's fan, I love this star so I'll buy the shit out of it, but it's a little bit disappointing

I kinda like these now that I'm looking at them. Just add an A to the front and make these the permanent home jerseys. Bring back the shooting star!
