Last month we let you know about the new Nike MLB City Connect Series. This series consists of brand new jersey designs that explore a franchise?s connection to its city and its fanbase, each with distinct personalities, values, customs and traditions. Today we give you an official look at the latest unveiled jersey from the Nike MLB City Connect Series ? the Miami Marlins.
The first Nike MLB City Connect Series is developed in collaboration with seven inaugural clubs (Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, San Francisco Giants). In later seasons, the City Connect Series will appear league-wide.
The Miami Marlins jersey is an ode to Latin America’s contribution to baseball’s rich history, recognizing when the Cuban Sugar Kings’ 1958 Junior World Series victory helped open the door for future Latin American players. Design details include the “Miami” done in a hand-painted style of the city’s Little Havana neighborhood. On the right sleeve you will find a patch that connects the Miami Marlins to the sport’s Latin American heritage and community.
The Nike Miami Marlins jersey from the Nike MLB City Connect series drops May 21st on SNKRS, the Nike App and nike.com, and at the MLB Flagship Store (NYC) and select retail locations. It will also be worn on-field for the first time on May 21st.
