City Connect uniforms are supposedly designed to reflect the cultural aspecet of each teams home city. So far twenty teams have City Connect uniforms. Eight more teams are scheduled to get them in 2024 and the Dodgers are expected to debut a new City Connect uniform this year. The A's and Yankees are the only teams without a City Connect uniform. The Yankees have said they do not want one and who knows where the A's will end up.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqJRL_ySm2oewgxXKcJubQjXD22EzmzMaSXy7xoybnYDFwvU0PIEB1wigaccin_80WOStQw27c-jQssB1wtyotgHBg9JVwaQpQ90XmeIbOohev1BYukkf_84yXutcjRV0xhcz4ENrZGzg314ErXLQGGmyCp65jJRqytUVV0s6nbPcqzaWV8-Ysk6BU92mZ/s1488/city%20connect%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1056" data-original-width="1488" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqJRL_ySm2oewgxXKcJubQjXD22EzmzMaSXy7xoybnYDFwvU0PIEB1wigaccin_80WOStQw27c-jQssB1wtyotgHBg9JVwaQpQ90XmeIbOohev1BYukkf_84yXutcjRV0xhcz4ENrZGzg314ErXLQGGmyCp65jJRqytUVV0s6nbPcqzaWV8-Ysk6BU92mZ/w640-h454/city%20connect%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Arizona Diamondbacks were one of the teams to get City Connect uniforms in 2021.

I was looking for an Eugene Emeralds t-shirt. The Ems used to be a farm club for the Padres so I wanted to include it in my new t shirt quilt. We hit the two biggest stores in Eugene and I went through every t shirt they had and I did not find a single t shirt from the Eugene Ems. However as we were leaving town we stopped by Hookers Sports Cards and I picked up 5 packs of 2023 Stadium Club. On Monday the 29th I received three packs I had purchased on Ebay from Midwest Sports Cards. I like Stadium Club for the photos.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd26PcCUuw6Uw1VQ45OrU5MGpWq0dVKva_yZFFjX6U1K5u5MRcjLa4Otal-LfOGIFzAmRIbBdoM4l3lTT1aINaRNe00elZzVnsHrix3WDeDxx_E-A9f2e0I81m4Tvuc1K9j1fyGHZYUTRqKCcvh3xeLQrBSXaiNc2AHszD2zXP0w1yY_h43ixLuTh_19uF/s2992/sc1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2096" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd26PcCUuw6Uw1VQ45OrU5MGpWq0dVKva_yZFFjX6U1K5u5MRcjLa4Otal-LfOGIFzAmRIbBdoM4l3lTT1aINaRNe00elZzVnsHrix3WDeDxx_E-A9f2e0I81m4Tvuc1K9j1fyGHZYUTRqKCcvh3xeLQrBSXaiNc2AHszD2zXP0w1yY_h43ixLuTh_19uF/w448-h640/sc1.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Horizontal is nice sometimes.
