My Review of the 2026 MLB City Connect Uniforms

🏆 2026 MLB City Connect Rankings (Best → Worst)

1. Atlanta Braves

This is how you do it.
✔️ Baby blue jersey + white pants = clean
✔️ Stripe pattern (royal blue/red/royal blue) ties everything together
✔️ Old-school “Atlanta” cursive wordmark is perfect
✔️ Hat with the small “A” works great

👉 Only miss: the “ATL” on the sleeve. Don’t need it.
Overall: Outstanding. One of the best City Connects we’ve seen.

2. Pittsburgh Pirates

They nailed it.
✔️ Stuck to black, gold, and a touch of red
✔️ “Pirates” wordmark is unique and clean
✔️ Yellow hat with black bill = 🔥

👉 Only minor issue: number font
But overall, they respected their identity—and it shows.
Overall: One of the best.

3. Cincinnati Reds

I know this will be controversial… but I like it.
✔️ All red from head to toe works here
✔️ Black pinstripes pop nicely
✔️ Clean number font
✔️ Strong, simple identity

Coming off the black set, this feels like a solid evolution.
Overall: Big win.

4. Texas Rangers

Solid uniform… with one big issue for me.
✔️ Red jersey + cream pants works
✔️ Clean red hat with white “T”

❌ “Tejas” across the chest… I don’t like it.

I get what they’re going for culturally, but I’d rather see them stick with a more traditional approach.
Overall: Decent, but not top tier.

5. San Diego Padres

Middle of the pack.
✔️ “San Diego” wordmark looks good
✔️ Hat is fine
❌ Feels too similar to past looks (Giants vibe)
❌ Too many colors layered in (orange, red, baby blue on navy)
❌ Number font isn’t great

Nothing terrible… just not memorable.
Overall: Average.

6. Kansas City Royals

This one just doesn’t land for me.
❌ Color mix (purple + baby blue) feels random
❌ Number font is rough
❌ Hat doesn’t stand out

I get the “City of Fountains” idea… but visually it just doesn’t connect.
Overall: Not it.

7. Milwaukee Brewers

Confusing more than anything.
✔️ Blue base is solid
✔️ Barrel Man on the sleeve is a nice touch
❌ “Wisco” script — not a fan
❌ Color overload (yellow, orange, blue, black outlines…)
❌ Back name in orange? Why?

Feels all over the place.
Overall: Miss for me.

8. Baltimore Orioles

I’m torn… but leaning negative.
❌ “BMORE” across the chest — just don’t like it
✔️ Small detail: bird perched on the “R” is actually cool
❌ Cream + yellow + gold combo feels off
❌ Number font… just bad

They tried to go historical, but it didn’t translate well visually.
Overall: Not a fan.

My Review of the 5 New NFL Uniforms for 2026

🚨 My Top 5: 2026 NFL Uniform Unveilings 🚨

After breaking down all five, here’s where I land:

1. Tennessee Titans
Absolutely love what they did here. Bringing back that Houston blue (call it what you want) was the right move. Clean, classic, and it pops.
👉 Only tweak I’d make: red facemask on the white helmet. That would take this set to another level.

2. Los Angeles Rams

Didn’t overhaul everything—but they didn’t need to. The changes they made? Spot on.
✔️ No more gradient numbers or stripes
✔️ Replaced “bone” with a true white uniform
✔️ Consistent striping across all pants (blue, yellow, white)
✔️ Removed the chest patch and wordmark
This is how you refine a modern look the right way.

3. Washington Commanders

Massive upgrade. They basically said, “let’s fix this” and went back to what worked.
✔️ Throwback-inspired home & away sets
✔️ Gold pants with proper striping
✔️ Consistent striping across the board
Still not a fan of the “W” helmet, but overall—this is a huge step forward.
And surprisingly… I actually like the black uniform. It fits the template and doesn’t feel forced.

4. Atlanta Falcons

Solid redesign—modern with throwback influence. They’re close.
👉 My issue: silver facemask on a black helmet.
If you’re going silver, it needs to be supported (silver pants, stronger presence). Otherwise, go black.
I’m big on this: the facemask should match the dominant color story of the uniform.

5. Baltimore Ravens

This one misses for me.
They already had a strong, classic look… and changed too much for no reason.
❌ Removed gold from key areas
❌ New pant striping that doesn’t pop
❌ Poor contrast (black on black, purple on black… hard to even see)
❌ New black helmet with black logo/stripes = disappears from a distance
This feels like change for the sake of change—and it didn’t need it.
