The Milwaukee Brewers have reveled their special City Connect uniform. The powder blue jerseys and hats are a nod to the summer sky in Milwaukee, as well as uniforms from the past. Yellow and navy are featured as accent colors, giving a colorway that pays tribute to the People’s Flag of Milwaukee. Across the chest of the jersey is a tribute to the fans with ‘Brew Crew’ in a custom font that draws inspiration from the industrial roots of the city with a nod to the recent cultural renaissance. On the front of the hat and above the jock tag is a new mark that combines the 414 area code and MKE airport abbreviation.
On the sleeve is special grill inspired patch with baseball stitching, as a celebration of the rich grilling and tailgating tradition of Wisconsinites during the summer. The final touch comes on the sleeves piping paying tribute to the city’s brewing tradition with yellow and white piping as a representation of a beer’s foam head.
The Brewers will wear their City Connect uniform most Friday Home games and every Community Night game this season.
The 2022 MLB Father’s Day hats have been released. This year’s look features a graphite grey hat with a tie-dyed powder blue logo trimmed in silver on the crown of the cap. The undervisor features the same tie-dye powder blue design.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have a new alternate look in their uniform rotation. The third uniform option features an alternate brand with the return of the iconic H logo from the early 1900s. The steel grey color of the jersey and pants is a nod to the Hamilton industrial roots. A special hammer pattern is found on the collar of the jersey and the center stripe of the helmet. Across the chest of the jersey we see ‘The Hammer’ in place of Tiger-Cats. The Hammer H logo is displayed on both shoulders of the jersey. With the finishing touch coming on the inside of the collar with MADE IN HAMILTON stitched in gold, meant to signify the players always have Hamilton on their backs.
“Our franchise has a rich and storied history in the city and we’ve been proud to call Hamilton home for 153 years. The inspiration for “Made in the Hammer” is to celebrate the indelible link between Hamilton, the Tiger-Cats and the amazing fans of this team who call this city home and still consider this city home, even if they live abroad.”- Matt Afinec, President & COO of Hamilton Sports Group
The Tiger-Cats will take the field in the special look twice this coming season in July and October.
The Los Angeles Angels have released their special City Connect uniform. The design inspiration tapped into the rich history of surfing in the area with the vintage surf style lettering, numbers and stripes. Across the chest of the jersey is Angles spelled out in a special surf style script font. Under the script lettering is the player number inspired by the font seen on the California lifeguard towers, and is set in a diamond similar to local vintage surf brands.
On the left sleeve two red stripes wrap around it with one thick and the other thin, paying homage to the old school surfboard designs. The finishing touch comes above the jock tag with a red surfboard as “a reminder to keep paddling”.
“In Southern California, there are few things more synonymous with summer than days at the beach and nights at the ballpark. Our City Connect uniforms look to celebrate those traditions by bringing the local beach culture to the Big A.”- Los Angeles Angels President, John Carpino
The Angels will break out the special threads for their home game, on Saturday, June 11, vs the New York Mets.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have introduced a refreshed brand identity. The new logo set embodies the Cavs history pulling inspiration from different eras. The new colorway of wine, gold and black brings back the reflective, shiny Cavaliers gold from the early 80s.
“Through the years there have been layered interpretations of the Cavs logos and color hues to represent the brand. In thinking about the next chapter of where to go with the design, the approach was to compose distilled versions of the logos to create a refreshed identity.”- Daniel Arsham Creative Director
The transition to the new brand identity will start for the 2022-23 season, including new Cavaliers Statement, Icon and Association Edition uniforms to be unveiled later this summer.

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.

The Chicago White Sox have revealed their special edition ‘City Connect’ uniform. The uniforms inspiration is an ode to the hardworking and resilient mentality of Chicago’s Southside community. The dark grey uniform drew its inspiration from Chicago’s well-known Greystone architectural style. Across the chest of the jersey the word “Southside” is displayed in the White Sox gothic script. The team’s hats will feature CHI in the same iconic White Sox gothic script font.
“We wanted to do something cool and kind of be authentic. This is more authentic as it gets, having Southside on the front. It’s relatable. Just using that term definitely makes it a lot more realistic to people who actually grew up on the South Side and have been Sox fans their whole life. I think it’s definitely real relatable and think it’s really cool.” - White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson
