Colorado Rockies to retire City Connect uniforms at season’s end
If seeing uniforms in person is your thing, you have exactly one chance left to catch the first version of Colorado Rockies’ City Connect jerseys in action.
The team announced it will retire the forest green uniform at the end of this season. They will debut a new uniform in 2025. The Rockies have one more City Connect Saturday on their schedule, Sept. 28 against the Dodgers.
The uniforms, which debuted in June 2022, were inspired by the Colorado license plate and prominently feature the Rocky Mountains. When they were unveiled, they included matching green pants, which were eventually replaced with white pants.
In a ranking of all 29 City Connects, a selection of The Athletic’s resident uniform aficionados had the Rockies’ offering in the top spot. The Washington Nationals’ ode to cherry blossoms, No. 4 on the list, will also be retired after this season.

The first of the City Connect uniform series debuted in 2021. They are supposed to be stylistic departures from the uniforms teams already have in their rotation that evoke a connection with the city or state the team represents.
The Dodgers were the first team to unveil new City Connect uniforms, which dropped earlier this season. The only teams that have not debuted uniforms as part of the series are the New York Yankees and Oakland A’s.
