Reds unveil new City Connect uniform

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - A new look for the Cincinnati Reds has arrived.

The Reds unveiled their new City Connect uniforms Thursday.

This new Cincinnati Reds Nike MLB City Connect uniform is an evolution of the inaugural version, blending aspects of the club’s traditional identity in a renewed style that incorporates the best elements from the first City Connect edition that debuted in 2023.

The uniforms feature red Nike jerseys and pants accented by dark red piping and sleeves, black numbers, white lettering and red Stance socks. A red New Era cap, which also features pinstripes, showcases the stylized “C” logo.

”Red is at the center of this next chapter in our City Connect story,” said Karen Forgus Bowman, Reds Chief Communications and Community Officer. “Bringing it forward in this fresh new way speaks to the energy of today’s players and fans being rooted in the eras of Reds baseball that continue through them.”

Features of the new Nike MLB City Connect uniforms include:

• The pinstripes are revived as a classic element in a modernized tone-on-tone style, a perennial favorite among both Reds fans and players alike.

• The sleeve in this City Connect uniform is a darker shade of red, and the jersey’s pinstripes are intentionally cut off at the shoulder, a nod to the popular vest-style jersey last worn by the Reds two decades ago.

• A sleeve graphic features the Tyler Davidson Fountain that serves as the heart of the city and begins flowing each year around Opening Day.

Reds players will wear the new Nike City Connect uniforms at Saturday home games. Due to its popularity amongst players and fans, the City Connect 1.0 black uniform will continue to be worn at Friday home games.

Fans will be able to see “City Connect Weekends” beginning this Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11.

Official merchandise for both uniforms in the Nike City Connect series are available now at the Reds Team Shop at Great American Ball Park and online.
