Reds unveil City Connect uniforms for May 19 game

The black uniforms feature the word “Cincy” across the front. A new “C” logo adorns the hat. The Reds will show off the look next week during a game against the New York Yankees at Great American Ball Park.

“Honoring the past is always a predominant theme for the Reds, so it was refreshing to lean into Nike’s expertise of creating team gear that expresses what today’s athletes and fans want,” said Karen Forgus, Reds senior vice president of business operations, in a press release. “The Reds embraced the opportunity to showcase how this city and this team are looking forward, determined to make history their own way, with their own vision.”

Five other teams are participating in Major League Baseball’s City Connect uniform program this season.

“Over the course of its first two seasons, the Nike MLB City Connect Series has been the most successful consumer product initiative we’ve ever had,” said MLB Chief Revenue Officer Noah Garden in a press release. “The overwhelmingly positive response from our fans is clear when you see ballparks full of these distinct designs and colors. Our Clubs have focused so much time and effort with Nike to create these exceptional uniforms for their fan bases, and it shows in every last detail. We look forward to seeing even more of our parks filled with City Connect jerseys this season.”
