City Connect MLB Jerseysby Bowersbird - 32 cards (Last updated on Oct 13, 2023) |
This is an ongoing list, as more teams debut their jerseys and Topps actually prints them on cards. I prefer using a Flagship Topps card released as close as possible to when the jersey is worn, but I often have to wait until the following year for them to appear at all. I'm willing to use cards from other sets - or even inserts - but I try to only upgrade with a much later card if it provides a clearly superior look at the uniform. Additionally, I consider any City Connect themed insert sets to be cheating for this list, so they will not be considered.
I decided to select 2 cards of each team's jersey. Preferably to represent both a pitcher and a hitter, but more importantly, to get a look at as much of the uniform as possible. (Front/Back/Hat/Helmet/Sleeve patches, etc.) Preference is also given to stars or players I heavily associate with the particular team, but I'll take just about anyone if their card looks nice.
For 2023 Debuts: Only have 1 of Braves, Rangers, & Orioles. Added a placeholder Reds card. Still need 2 Mariners & Pirates. (Stadium Club may pull through and help me, but I'm mostly just crossing my fingers that the 2024 Topps Elly RC has him wearing a City Connect).

Most of these uni's are pretty damn cool. The Padre one was a little jarring at first but its slowly growing on me.

Yeah, the Padres one is pretty out there, but I think bold deviations from a team's regular jerseys result in the best city connects. I remember thinking the first one was weird ('Why aren't the Red Sox wearing any red?'). But now I think that it was a really good example to set for the other teams. |
