Red Sox, Nike, and MLB unveil new City Connect "Fenway Greens" uniforms
BOSTON, MA – The Boston Red Sox today announced a new Nike City Connect "Fenway Greens" uniform that pays homage to the ballpark's left field wall. The new uniform will debut during tonight's 7:10 p.m. game against the Braves and will be worn on select home games throughout the season, including May 23. The yellow and blue uniforms will remain a core offering for the team, replacing the blue alternate jersey, and will continue to be worn during Patriots' Day Weekend at Fenway Park.
The new jerseys feature "Red Sox" in the Green Monster's signature font across the chest in white, with an encircled "B" logo on the sleeve. Player numbers appear in yellow on the front - a nod to the Fisk and Pesky poles - and in white on the back. Inside the collar, "1912" is stitched onto a concrete, heather pattern, symbolizing the interior structure of the left field wall and the year Fenway Park opened. A replica of the Green Monster's vintage ball, strike, and out indicator appears as a small graphic detail on the lower left of the jersey.
"The original Nike City Connect uniforms were a bold departure for the team, rooted in the spirit of the Marathon more than the club's traditional identity," said Troup Parkinson, Chief Marketing and Partnerships Officer for the Boston Red Sox. "This time, we started with a clear design thesis to create something lasting - drawn directly from Fenway Park itself. Every element has meaning and reflects a place that has defined Red Sox baseball for over a century."
To mark the debut of Nike City Connect Fenway Greens, the Red Sox will roll out a series of exclusive gate giveaways over the coming months, each available to the first 7,500 fans entering the ballpark and inspired by the new design:
- May 23 – Devers City Connect light-up Bobblehead, presented by JetBlue
- May 25 – Charm hat with City Connect charms, presented by Heinz
- June 11 – City Connect Beach Towel, presented by STIHL
- August 16 – City Connect Sling Bag, presented by Coca-Cola
The Fenway Greens jersey from the Nike MLB City Connect Series is available today, May 16, on Nike app/.com, MLBShop.com, the MLB Flagship Store (NYC), Fanatics, DICK'S Sporting Goods, and select retails stores, including the Red Sox Team Store on Jersey Street.
