Colorado Rockies 'City Connect' Uniform
The Colorado Rockies have revealed their special City Connect uniform. The look of the uniform draws its inspiration from the Colorado license plate first introduced in 1960 with the green and white mountain range. The letters and numbers of the jersey are the same font that is used on the actual license plate. The sleeves and pants have purple trim, as well as the numbers on the back of the jersey, representing the row of purple seats at the club’s stadium which designates exactly one mile above sea level.
On the right sleeve is a salute to Denver’s mile-high nickname with 5280 emblazoned on a yellow “sticker”, above that we see two black diamonds, noting Double Black Diamond ski runs as a nod to Colorado’s vibrant ski and snowboard community, and with the coordinates of Coors Field seen below it.
The finishing touch comes on the jock tag with the phrase “Welcome to Colorful Colorado” that was inspired by the highway signs welcoming you to the state.
“While the uniform series is called City Connect, it was important they represent fans across the state. As a Colorado native, I am proud that these uniforms embody the character of Colorado and the unique sense of pride we have in our home state. I am beyond excited to see them come to life on the field on June 4 at Coors Field.”- Rockies Owner, Chairman and CEO Dick Monfort
The Rockies will debut their look on June 4th against the Atlanta Braves and then they will wear them every Sunday home game for the rest of the season.
