WHITE STONE, NY – Major League Baseball is trying its best to ruin this once great game. They’ve now collaborated with Nike to outfit its players with something called City Connect Gear. Nike has realized that anything with its swoosh will be gobbled up by the Youths of America. Its new cap and jersey line are the most hideous looking things ever produced.
The players’ names and numbers are printed in a dark mode and are blended within the dark uniforms. They are impossible to see with the fans naked eyes from any seat in the stands.
It’s being billed as a celebration of the deep-rooted history, culture, and spirit of each city that continues to bring the clubs and their communities together. Whoever came up with this line of bullshit needs to be arrested for brainwashing the fans into thinking these are cool threads.
The only way to connect with the community is to have the players walk through those streets that their neighbors live in. Conversing and offering them hope and confidence is more of a connection than wearing these corny clothes.
The NY Mets debuted their version a few weeks ago and they looked like slop. The caps are similar to the knockoffs that those illegal street vendors sell. There’s nothing cultural or cool looking about these “Made in China” looking threads. The St. Louis Cardinals version has an interesting look to it with its “The Lou” nickname, as the N.Y. Yankees haven’t fallen for the bait yet.
It all comes down to this, Nike can add a swoosh to toilet paper and it will sell. MLB will piggyback on anything that will add more dollars to its revenue. It’s only a matter of time when a hot-selling t-shirt with the line, “Greed killed the Game,” makes its way onto the market.
In the meantime as long as MLB gets their cut, who cares if the players on the field look like sanitation employees while wearing these garbage garments.
