It’s an off day for the Giants, so let’s argue about uniforms.
Good morning, baseball fans!
On Tuesday night, the San Francisco Giants debuted their new City Connect uniforms. Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area wrote a pretty great piece outlining the design process for the new uniforms, and how they were inspired by the rich musical history of San Francisco, and have a connection to the team’s New York days.
As a concept, I think it’s really well thought out and executed. The players have bought in and were even consulted during the process, as Logan Webb told the broadcasters during Tuesday night’s game. The park itself is even in on the fun, as they have adjusted the lights to shine more purple for these games.
Additionally, each uniform is technically unique, due to the sewing on the sound waves on each uniform.
Overall, it’s clear they really put a lot of thought and effort into the process and execution of the switch to the new uniforms, which will be worn at every Tuesday night home game.
All of that said, I have a completely unserious reason for disliking them. Sure, they’re cool and different and bring a bit of a different vibe to the park. But the purple. Oh god, the purple. It’s giving Coors Field. It’s giving waking up to Dinger staring murderously into your soul.
