So apparently this is the Texas Rangers City Connect Unis.  Reactions to them have been less than favorable. Personally, I think they're kinda cool. That said they are SO different from the standard I could see why some people don't like 'em.

I just don't get the point of this.  More merch obviously, but what is "city connect" supposed to mean?

You answered your own question.  It’s just more merch.  The NBA does it.  I think the NHL does it.  I don’t think the NFL does it (yet).

Yeah but "city connect"?  WTF

The NBA has city edition.  So MLB had to come up with something slightly different.

The Pistons had 5 different jersey sets this season.  Traditional home whites and road blues.  They brought back the teal things.  They also had a green set as a nod to an old gym (St Cecilia) where some of the players would play pickup games back in previous years.  And because that wasn’t enough, they had a ball set with a blue and red stripe which was reminiscent of the Bad Boys.  Because, hey, why not?

Heck, they might as well bring back red set and the burgundy set so they have a set for every day of the week.  More merch baby.

I like the concept, and there have been a few executions I've enjoyed.  Looking forward to what the Tigers do and just hope they don't F it up (like the Rangers did above).  Would be cool to see a Motown or Motor City version.  Just no teal, please.

They started em last year after the NBA model. The thing is just named to highlight some different type of uniforms. Again, part to appeal to the younger gens. We saw one this year when the Astros wore their "space city" uniforms.

I think this Southside kit looks sharp.

Btw I like some of them and have no problem with the idea. Yeah old timers like most of us and traditionalists may not like it but like KL2 said it's for the younger generation and anything that can possibly help attract or appeal to younger fans Im for.

Should have a silhouette of fans with paper bags on their heads.

Sounds good, although that might make it hard to tell ours from the A’s or Nationals.
