Red Sox confirm yellow City Connect uniforms will return in 2024
Not that there was much doubt, but this week the Red Sox confirmed their yellow City Connect uniforms will return in 2024 and that there won’t be any changes to the club’s uniform designs in general.
“Yellows will definitely be back this year and there’s no change for this season,” said Red Sox chief marketing officer Adam Grossman in an interview with the Herald earlier this week.
The Red Sox were the first club to debut a City Connect uniform when the program launched in 2021 and the Boston Marathon-themed design has become widely popular within the organization and across the fanbase. The Red Sox are 26-7 all-time wearing yellow, and earlier this offseason manager Alex Cora indicated the club plans to wear the City Connects on Saturdays at home rather than whenever they want to try and break out of a slump.
“We cannot rely on yellow whenever we suck,” Cora told “The Name Redacted Podcast” in November.
So far 20 MLB teams have debuted City Connect uniforms and it’s expected that the remaining clubs who plan to participate will introduce theirs this season. Some clubs have made tweaks to their jerseys and theoretically any club could either abandon or replace their City Connects, but for now it appears Boston’s yellows are here to stay.
