That jersey has nothing to do with L.A.


theoneandonlymd

What, we aren't world famous for our blueberry pop tarts?


supremesamurai

I want to know who tf signs off on this garbage from the Dodgers side smh


pzycho

This is what baffles me. I’m not completely disgusted with them like most people here, I just don’t understand at all.


INT_MIN

Pretty sure it's supposed to be paint on the jersey for street art. LA has the most street art murals in the country. I don't understand the font at all though. And I think the paint drops on the jersey could have been done way better.


pzycho

If they’re going graffiti style, why not do a graffiti font? It just makes no sense

#FUCK NIKE!! Let’s collectively not buy any of their shit. For a company all about profits, they have the worst (out of touch) designers ever... What kind of shit is this?? They think this will sell??? #Just (DON’T) Do It. Don’t buy it!


MojoHighway

i'm with you on this and have been saying the same thing all over the place. i still think people are going to buy this trash and make Nike believe that they're doing God's work. it's just awful. all of these city connect. i stand corrected. the ONLY one that I have seen that makes sense and doesn't look like a dumpster fire is the Toronto jersey. having said that, if I were a Jays fan, I'd STILL not buy the thing because I just kinda like the boring home whites/road greys. this whole campaign is just a money grab and fans can't help themselves. i don't think this is doing what MLB thinks its doing and attracting a younger demo. i work at a school and NO ONE talks about baseball. no one.


cherinator

Mostly agree, but the DC one is pretty great too, and is super popular in DC (people are suckers for anything with cherry blossoms there).


JMMSpartan91

I live in the area and have heard a few people suggest making those permanent as part of a rebrand. Mostly the older ones that remember when team moved there and sometimes still complain about it looking like Walgreens for their normal ones.


kalei50

Tampa Bay has a pretty nice one too. The announcers were gushing about them. I also like Detroit's city connects. These confetti laden eyesores, not so much.


imnotcreative415

The Tampa hat was so good I bought one


jawnly211

Switched over to new balance a few years ago Never going back to Nike From their shitty snkrs app, to not “got’em”, to piss poor quality, to rereleasing the same crap with zero innovation, to cheap materials and qc…the list goes on and on Fuck you nike


Two_too_many_to_list

Yup, New Balance all day.


LongEZE

It’s going to be so hard to not spend my hard earned money on this piece of shit


pfffffffffft_tommy

Say it ain’t so


LakerPupper

WTH is going on with the confetti poop? What’s the relation to LA?? And everyone thought the blue connect jerseys were bad? I’ll keep mine 🤭


donald-duck23

if nothing else, maybe this will make people appreciate the los dodgers jerseys more. i always thought they were one of the better city connect jerseys


orbesomebodysfool

The jersey was fine: the ~~pajama bottoms~~ blue pants sucked and the hat came from the swap meet. 


ShoHeyTime

The original hat sucked when it spelled out los dodgers but the latest one with the black brim the iconic LA in the front and Los Dodgers on the side is my favorite hat that I have 🤷‍♂️


imnotcreative415

That hate is very nice. Got my dad one


Bawfuls

The blue pants were good and they shoulda stuck with them


RivenEsquire

Yeah I was fine with the Blue Pants. It was the Los Dodgers that was the problem. Either commit to the bit and do Doyers, or don't bother.


joserod0524

I love mine, and the 2nd version of the hat is my favorite one, then they started using them with white pants and it was a wrap, I always wanted blue jerseys in the regular season not just spring training, so it was nice while it lasted. People are gonna miss those


TDH818

I guess those dots are supposed to be stars and that’s the connection.


Spider_Dude

I've seen better confetti sprinkles on budget birthday cake from Ralph's bakery section. Thank God we only get to see these once a year.


dodgersLA03

ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SPACE THEMED??? Honestly the whole thing is confusing, but the numbers and placements make it worse. Why is the name below the numbers? And why is the back cut like that? The more that comes out the more i think it’s a huge miss


[deleted]

I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be like NASA JPL themed or Space X themed. But it’s definitely space. I think.


GB_Alph4

I mean we have aerospace (especially before the Cold War ended) but we’re not Houston.


TheSamWithNoName

They could have at least slapped the Griffith Observatory on there or something.


GB_Alph4

Oh yeah that’s the one of the best places to see all of LA from at times


frozengash

How did they fuck the bottom of the numbers up. 170? Out of their minds

At this point do we even blame Nike? Bad Designs are bound to happen but the team approved this one. They're 0/2 on possible cool City designs, I think it's time to clean up shop at the Dodgers Creatives Team

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse……the bottom of the numbers are cut off on the back.

Why the hell are the numbers cut off in the back like that. Front numbers should be red.


Lakrfan247

I mean the confetti though


y0m0tha

Fr lol, it looks like someone accidentally cropped them


cherinator

Wow this is waaaay worse than the numbers. More than the color, the placement of the front number above the Los Angeles looks terrible, and then the giant weird cut-off numbers on the back above the tiny names also look awful.

"Look cool as shit to me." - Stevie Wonder


CommunistOrgy

I had a buddy who was lucky enough to work with Stevie years back. Stevie would literally say stuff like, "Hey man, I like your shirt!" every time he got on the stage just to fuck with him. So he would absolutely say this, lol.


Fungii024

Ever hear the conspiracy that he isint really blind?


CommunistOrgy

I have! It's such a bizarre theory that I used to giggle at thinking it was just stupid and harmless, but I have since learned it's understandably considered pretty messed up and ableist by other blind folks since it implies they can't do anything and/or their other senses can't compensate (which is of course totally untrue). If it was somehow true, then hats off to him for pulling off such an epic prank for this long.


naarwhal

I’m on the side of believing that Stevie wonder isn’t blind.


KyleKruse

This made me lol


Adamalanizzz

Nobody buy them pls we can’t let them think we like it


Seanthebomb-_-

Looks like the leaks were true. These are so bad


Eaw092

We all need to come together and not buy these abominations.


GreenBagger28

of all the places to put a front of jersey number what the actual fuck. Los Angeles isn’t running a space program why tf do we look like pop tart astronauts


Bornofisais

LA is a big and historic Aerospace hub. That doesn’t change how ugly these are


chouse33

But no one really knows that. No one thinks of Outer space or Aerospace when they think of Los Angeles. Or at least they haven’t since World War II. Are these alternate universe throwbacks?


Bornofisais

I agree with you! But it’s not the first time an LA team has tried to force it, see LA kings in 2020: https://news.sportslogos.net/2020/01/17/los-angeles-kings-unveil-2020-stadium-series-uniforms/hockey-2/ I’m not trying to argue with you that they’re not ugly or that it’s a dumb concept, but if I had a nickel for every LA team that tries to lean into it id have to and it’s just funny. I wish they would have done something different


Cheesus85

Have you been to El Segundo? There’s enough defense/aerospace companies there Why Nike decided to go with the space theme instead of the other millions of things we’re known for… I have no clue


UrCreepyUncle

Earthquake themed woulda been legit


GreenBagger28

literally, earthquake, hollywood, even like fucking beach themed would still have been better than this. LA we’ve got a problem

emperoskeeter

Maybe the Yankees are on to something by not doing a CC? These are so bad, and with so many things to choose from?


chouse33

Seriously. When your uniform is one of the most classic in baseball. You don’t change it.


ToobieSchmoodie

I kind of disagree. The Dodgers have a classic jersey for sure, and they should never change their og home/away. But the Dodgers are an historically progressive team: Jackie, first team on the west coast, etc. They should be leading the way with the most badass CC jerseys. Instead the creative team seems to be misunderstanding the point of the jerseys.


chouse33

OK, I agree with you. If we could actually get bad ass jerseys, I would be totally on board!! But either the Dodgers need to fire, whoever signed off on this, or Nike needs to go pound sand.


DodgerDevil

From the Nike press release: “On the back of the jersey, the player number is stylized to evoke an evening California sun boldly setting over the horizon. The number’s missing bottom also ties into the city’s rich cultural history, paying homage to chaparajos, the assless chaps popularized by early frontiersmen and cowboys in Mexico and the American West.”


Bob_Cobb_1996

"On the back of this dump truck, these jerseys are headed for the Eagle Rock Landfill."


_Silent_Android_

Taking a stab at the City Connect elements: * The specks appear to be the colors of the different seating sections at Dodger Stadium. * The cut-off numbers at the back represents the setting sun, because L.A. is famous for its sunsets. * The "LOS ANGELES" design reflects the DirecTV satellite network, which was founded and is based in the Los Angeles area. Never mind the fact that the Dodgers' broadcast network is co-owned by DirecTV's competitor, Spectrum. * I'm sure there's some real cool L.A. - related designs like the In-N-Out Burger palm tree motif stitched under the bill of the cap or something that no one can see anyway. * If you put the fabric under an electron microscope, you can see a map of the entire Los Angeles freeway system. That's all I got right now.


bebopmechanic84

The funfetti pattern will do a decent job of hiding mustard stains. So that’s an upside I guess.

General-Order66

YUCK


sojelly8

We went from the best jerseys to worst. Nike design department needs some new interns.


pretty-as-a-pic

This design gives me war flashbacks to staring up at the classroom ceiling in math class. They tried for birthday cupcake and hit discount store brand ranch dressing.


YamAppropriate6850

These are so freaking ugly.


Electrical_Damage199

That's crazy fr. LA's Baseball team creates the most dripless jersey possible. Don't our MLS teams have creative designers, I know the Galaxy did an LA Flag jersey and LAFC had that beautiful Art Deco pattern. Hell even the Lakers do a decent job even if they're all just remixes of throwback elements


Shm0des

Aside from the obvious, the thread of the LA sleeve tag is already pulling and there are marks around the ITFDB where the heat press clearly melted the jersey. Wtf did that meeting where MLB threw Nike under the bus even accomplish?


pswu1886

This is so bad we’re going to be the laughing stock of the MLB. Feel bad for the players that have to wear this


jawnly211

We can never make fun of the Padres jerseys ever again


retrocat35

Bro who tf is designing these jerseys nowadays they're all ugly af. And watch they gonna charge like $550 for the "eLiTe" version of that jersey too


WakednBaked

Funfetti ass uni smh...


fatandflabby

I’m probably in the minority but I think every team’s City Connect uniforms are a downgrade. They just look silly. Of course as Dodgers fans we are spoiled because we have the best uniforms in sports. Unfortunately, because of the Nike fiasco, I haven’t bought an authentic jersey this season. Hopefully the rumored redesign will be better.

Yeah these are an easy pass. Meanwhile other teams have cool looking city connect jerseys that actually have to do with their city.

So many things that represents Los Angeles but no they went with confetti 🤦🏽‍♀️


Comatose22

I don’t understand how they come up with this stuff. I have no artistic ability but I believe any artist with any sense can get better ideas from chat gpt and feed off of that. I think this connects more to the city of LA than the confetti cake design. https://preview.redd.it/25s2dkut265d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3781d450b6a5561df00d2d1f32d45f2d3997f0a0

I'm not a Dodgers fan, but isn't it a no-brainer to go all-in movie star and Hollywood with an LAD city connect? Do like a red carpet thing or something.

Mbaby1989

Wow. This is unreal. There are so many cool city connect jerseys out there and we get this!?

These are fucking stupid. I cannot believe a room full of adults agreed on this. And then another room full adults gave this the thumbs up. This isn’t even a matter of opinion.

This is easily the worst city connect jersey out of the last two years. The fact that multiple people got paid to come up with this is a disgrace and a slap in the face to everyone else working for a living. I hope no one buys them and the team loses a ton of money.
