The 2025 MLB City Connect jerseys are ... they sure are something. The newest edition of one of my favorite jersey collections in the MLB are a little bit more hit and miss this season. This year, the Chicago White Sox, Miami Marlins, Washington Nationals, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies and Houston Astros got revamped City Connects, and I’m here again to put them into a tier list.
MLB City Connect jersey rankings, from best to throw it in the trash
This year’s MLB City Connect uniforms are lazy, but there are still a few good ones.

The description for each tier will be listed with the tier, so let’s do this! If you have any complaints or concerns about this tier list or ranking, send all of them to richard.odonnell@sbnation.com.
S-Tier: I would buy this even if it’s not my favorite team
Houston Astros
Maybe I’m just a big space nerd, but these are so tough to me. The front of the jersey reminds me of the Astros logo from 2000-2012, but adding the orange and navy blue to a white jersey just makes it pop so much. I think the hat maybe could’ve been better, but overall this is a really dope look.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks had a really nice City Connect jersey, but turned it into night mode with their new version. It’s the same Serpientes logo and design, but with the electric blue and purple it makes the colors pop so much more. I think I like the hat more on this one, but the jersey overall is a push. Really cool jersey here.
A-Tier: I would buy it, would buy my favorite team’s jersey before it
San Francisco Giants
Initially, when the Giants released these uniforms with nobody wearing the jersey I was a little skeptical. Seeing them in action, however, I think these are one of my favorites of the City Connect era. I’m a fan of the font on the jersey, and kind of the spray paint-ish look they have on them, and I think it goes well with the rest of the jersey. It’s fun, and a LOT better than the gradient ones they tried last time.
B-Tier: Not my first choice, but I would buy it
Colorado Rockies
Although I like their old City Connects a bit more, these are still cool. The colors are fun and inspired by the sunset in Colorado, which is pretty fun. I wish there were more mountain designs or imagery on the jersey because...well they’re the Rockies, but this is a cool jersey.
C-Tier: I’d buy it if it were on sale ... like maybe a 40% off
Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox...in a green and yellow jersey...sure.
Look I get why they’re green, I get it! But even outside of the green color they’re just kind of uninspiring. They’re solid, but it looks like something that a content creator would make on social media, not an actual team.
Miami Marlins
Hate to say it about the Marlins’ city connects...but I’m a bit disappointed. It feels like they’re still trying to catch the high of the vice city thing that every team in South Florida tries to do and it’s honestly just kind of ok. I would still wear it, but I’m not sure if these are any better than previous versions.
D-Tier: These would have to be given to me in a free raffle, and even then I might not wear it
Chicago White Sox
Sage Zipeto
The Chicago White Sox...in a red and black jersey. What’s up with the Sox teams and forgetting what colors they are? These look like something you’d buy from Temu, or some off brand jersey seller. I get the homage to the Bulls, but it makes sense to make a jersey in the style of Jerry Reinsdorf’s OTHER mediocre team.
Washington Nationals
Another really disappointing jersey, this time from the Nationals. It’s hard to follow up the cherry blossom unis they revealed the first time, but there’s nothing about this jersey that pops. It’s just...gray. The gridlines could’ve been cool if they were a different shade or color, but it just blends in too much.
