The Cincinnati Reds unveiled new Nike City Connect uniforms on Thursday, April 9.
The Reds will wear the uniforms on Saturday, April 11, for a game against the Los Angeles Angels at Great American Ball Park. They will wear them throughout the season for Saturday home games.
”Red is at the center of this next chapter in our City Connect story,” said Karen Forgus Bowman, Reds Chief Communications and Community Officer, in a press release. “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.”
According to the Reds, the 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.”
Fans can buy the jerseys at nike.com, mlbshop.com, fanatics.com and select retail locations.
The uniform features 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.”
Red isn’t just a color… it’s an identity.
