nationals reveal City Connect uniforms
The Washington Nationals, Wizards unveiled new uniforms honoring the upcoming cherry blossom season in the D.C. area. The place to be for cherry blossoms is the nation’s capital regarded as the premier place for sightseeing the flower in the United States.
The uniforms mark the first time teams from the same city share “city edition” (NBA) and “city connect” (MLB) uniforms from Nike. The Washington Wizards become the first NBA team to announce their “city edition” uniform during the 2022-2023 where it will debut. The Nationals will debut the uniform in the final two games during opening weekend against the Mets on April 9 and April 10.
MLB, Nike announced more teams who will wear “city connect” uniforms in the 2022 regular season. The Astros, Royals, Rockies, Angels, Brewers, and Padres will be involved as half the league has participated in the “city connect” campaign from Nike. Eight teams were involved last season (Red Sox, Marlins, White Sox, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Giants, and Dodgers).
Nationals fans will get the chance to purchase the jersey on March 30. Wizards fans will have to wait a bit longer as the jersey goes on sale this November.
