The Colorado Rockies On Saturday they revealed their uniforms City Connect, inspired by the colors of the West in Colorado and the sun from the plain to the rocky mountains.
On April 18, the threads against the Washington Nationals are debut and wears them every Friday for the rest of the season.
“It is a contrast between white snow in the mountains and a light blue sky when the night falls, and when the sun appears here in the morning, we get some red and oranges that are simply incredible,” said Rockies for community and retail operations Jim Kellogg Espn.
With the iconic mountain logo on the front, the uniform is divided between the upper half of the cobalt blue and the purple lower half. White pants with a distinctive stripe complement the appearance. Other integrated colors include the pink razor and laser orange.
It also includes a ripstop pattern of numbers, homage of snowboard and ski industry. The Ripstop fabric is known for insisting in a state of slopes and is, according to Rockies, “Kunná for changing landscape experiences”.
Kellogg said the process of this proposal began two years ago in cooperation with Nike. The conversation led them to the sky concept and how blue it can get.
“Light blue is really a kind of our focus and then light blue at sunrise and sunset, and how the transition between these two passes,” he said. “And then it is obvious that our purple mountains are always our purple mountains and that’s something we wanted to keep there there.”
Rockies sent Nike pictures of sunset in Coors Field and Kellogg credited their ability to identify colors that reflected these views exactly.
The Jock brand contains the abbreviation “Day” as a nod to the team home of Denver. The hat is lined with the Denver City flag and marks the first time Rockies wore a mountain logo on the pitch during games. They usually wore a logo for launch practice and various versions of uniform, but never on a hat.
Colorado is also the first team to debut the City Connect Pullover jersey, similar to what some MLB teams wore at the age of 90.
“It’s really about youth,” Kellogg said. “We have a young team. And returning to the Little League jersey, which has always been a sweater jersey, was a shirt or a pulse jersey. So it was a bit of a youth movement that came back to it.”
There will be 35 different versions of the hat and other garments and jackets. Rockies hope to create a lifestyle brand around the design.
