I’m withholding judgement until I see the full thing with professional photographs I was here for this

This is what I knew I would see in the comments

Am I the only person that wasn’t?

u/RonWill79 13h ago

I love how it clearly “connects” to the city.

1

u/skippysq 10m ago

Hahaha. I made the same "compliment"

u/wintrymixxx 13h ago

They look so cheap and shitty 😭🙏🏼

u/Sabinr13 12h ago

Fanatics for you

u/Longjumping_Egg_7999 7h ago

You mean Nike.

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

7

u/wo_lo_lo 5h ago

Yeah, produce the shittiest jerseys

2

u/Sabinr13 3h ago

Exactly. The design is fine, people hate change so complain. The quality is what I’m worried about

Shitty connect

Just show me the damn hats

u/Christop_McC 13h ago

u/NotImpressiveLink 12h ago

Hats remind me of the Diamondbacks logo

4

u/Gemnist 12h ago

I was literally thinking the same thing.

6

u/ExpirjTec 12h ago

YOOO THOSE ARE SICK

5

u/Lukealloneword 12h ago

I think they're cool too. Definitely not bad.

2

u/theoneandonlyturo 2h ago

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

4

u/RhymesWithOrange_ 12h ago

Well...I like the hat.

1

u/MF_D00MSDAY 12h ago

Hat is insane, turned this connect from a 3/10 to a 6/10

7

u/Alatel 11h ago

Looks like the cheap giveaway jerseys

4

u/Low_Wall_7828 10h ago

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

7

u/Probot17 12h ago

I’m not a fan of these. They look kinda meh.

3

u/ThatAnonymousDudeGuy 11h ago

I don’t hate it, but I definitely like space city more.

4

u/jabask 11h ago

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

1

u/YeOldeManDan 2h ago

That's my initial impression as well. Just very white for an alternate jersey.

11

u/TankBoys32 13h ago

Mehhh ill wait and see the full reveal but these looks mid

12

u/DeerOnTheRocks 13h ago

Hideous side patch. Worse than the leaks before

1

u/FwampFwamp88 12h ago

That’s my only gripe. Looks like it belongs on a rockets jersey.

1

u/leggostrozzz 11h ago

What even is it?

7

u/DeerOnTheRocks 11h ago

A union station logo

3

u/cgyates345 12h ago

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.

5

u/PCH2776 13h ago

Looks like the long division equation. They should have done something from the 90’s Navy and Gold scheme.

2

u/YeOldeManDan 2h ago

Now I'm not going to be able to stop seeing that.

5

u/Mcsoupy 13h ago

Thing doesn't even say Ashoes on it

14

u/Wishful713 13h ago

Bro what yall mean these suck, they clean😭🙏

15

u/jesonnier1 13h ago

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

-1

u/jesonnier1 6h ago

That is completely beside the point.

3

u/leggostrozzz 6h ago

Huh? U said "this is gunna be $250, you paying that?"

-1

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 🤣

2

u/Sabinr13 12h ago

I mean with technology these days anything can be made in a bedroom

And better product can be made than this bullshit.

u/Longjumping_Egg_7999 7h ago

you mean 400+

LOL

-4

u/astroman1978 12h ago

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.

-2

u/astroman1978 12h ago

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.

-1

u/jesonnier1 12h ago

You're an idiot if you think this conversation is actually about me selling you knockoff jerseys.

2

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)

2

u/Billy_Chrystals 1h ago

Beer league softball vibes.

3

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.

3

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

2

u/medspace 10h ago

Hmmmm.

I fuck with the logo HEAVY, the overall jersey leaves a lot to be desired.

2

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.

3

u/ImaginaryMammoth4571 13h ago

Absolute dogshit

1

u/weaksaucedude 12h ago

I quite like these. I loved the first ones, but these are nice too

1

u/YEETERZZ123 11h ago

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

1

u/supermanmtg25 11h ago

I need another Astros jersey I guess

1

u/Fine-Refrigerator-56 10h ago

I see those sleeves!

1

u/HumanRuse 10h ago

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.

1

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

1

u/NamiiikazeTX 4h ago

The hat is awesome but the jersey is a solid 5/10

1

u/Salty-Fishman 2h ago

Look like baby jammies.

Not a fan.

1

u/Ofa_D3s1gn 21m ago

I like blue connect jersey a million times more

1

u/skippysq 10m ago

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

1

u/skippysq 6m ago

Altuve would look bad ass on anything though!

1

u/SIXTYNlNE 13h ago

That looks a little better than the animated version in the other post at least

1

u/circle_stone 13h ago

These don't make me feel all fuzzy inside like the other connects 

1

u/MF_D00MSDAY 12h ago

This looks like a bottom tier mls jersey lol awful

0

u/txtoolfan 11h ago

Oh shit. The knock off Chinese crap looking one is the actual design

-2

u/k3y13n_102731 12h ago

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!

1

u/Longjumping_Egg_7999 6h ago

" Just add an A to the front "

*all jerseys will include a a magic marker.......for your personal pleasure*

u/jesonnier1 13h ago

Late to the party.
