Rockies New City Connect 2.0 Uniform
The Mile High City just got a lot more colorful. The Colorado Rockies have officially unveiled their brand-new Nike City Connect uniforms—and they’re a complete visual reset from the team’s previous look. Inspired by Denver’s stunning sunsets and snowcapped skylines, this bold new drop is all about energy, youth, and the beauty of the Rockies.
Revealed Saturday morning, the fresh design makes its on-field debut Friday, April 18, when the Rockies take on the Nationals. From that point on, fans can expect to see the team rocking the new City Connect uniforms for every Friday home game the rest of the season.
Gone is the dark green, license plate-inspired design that once turned heads for its unexpected yet iconic nod to Colorado’s DMV aesthetic. In its place: psychic purple, cobalt blue, razor pink, and laser orange—a vibrant palette drawn directly from the skyline views seen from Coors Field at dusk.
“I like it, man,” said third baseman Ryan McMahon. “It’s a little louder than our last ones. So it should be cool.”
And loud it is—in the best way possible. The jerseys break free from the previous design’s subtlety, opting instead for a bold and expressive tribute to the spirit of Colorado. According to Jim Kellogg, the Rockies’ VP of Community and Retail Operations, the change was very much by design.
“We have a young team, so we want to make sure that we're tying into a new day, a new sunrise and sunset,” Kellogg said. “Nike came up with these colors looking at the sunsets that we had. It’s bold and it’s fun.”
While the colors bring the noise, the details bring the depth. The jersey features a unique ripstop fabric—a nod to the materials worn by skiers and snowboarders across the state. This subtle pattern not only adds a textured layer to the uniform but also speaks to the grit and adaptability of life in the mountains.
Players will also appreciate the functional upgrades. The jersey is a pullover—the first in Nike’s City Connect lineup to feature this style—echoing the gear many athletes grew up wearing before they went pro. Plus, unlike the previous all-dark-green look, this version pairs the vibrant top with white pants, designed to beat the Colorado heat during day games.
Of course, the look wouldn’t be complete without those fan-favorite extras:
A reimagined Rockies logo with a baseball soaring past the mountain tops
A unique sleeve patch
the city-stamped “DEN” on the jock tag for that added drip (especially for fans wearing it untucked)
“It’s creating conversation around our brand, our team,” Kellogg said. “Not everyone is going to like this… and that’s fine with us. We’re just trying to put something out there that’s fun. And if you’re taking it too seriously, you’re taking it too seriously.”
The Rockies' classic purple pinstripes will always be the crown jewel—but with this new City Connect set, the team proves they’re not afraid to mix tradition with innovation. It’s bold, it’s fresh, and it captures everything that makes Colorado—on the field and off—unforgettable.
