The San Francisco Giants have revealed their collaboration with Nike as part of the first MLB City Connect series.
The Giants are the sixth MLB team to unveil their jersey for the series, which includes the Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins. The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to be revealed in August.
“We are delighted to partner with Nike on this collaborative jersey series, which will further show, through this unique piece of art, how special and unique San Francisco is for so many who live here and visit.” Giants manager Mario Alioto said. the vice president of business operations said in a statement.
“Images of the Golden Gate Bridge and our summer fog connect our players, fans and community to this amazing city.”
The City Connect Series jerseys are a modification of the San Francisco house whites and emphasize the team’s orange colors, which the Giants have had since the days of organizing in New York. On the chest is an orange “G” block blending into a mist, believed to represent the notorious San Francisco fog. On the sleeve, an orange outline of the Golden Gate Bridge is enveloped by the same haze, and the numbers on the back of the jersey also have the same effect. The full “Giants” logo at the base of the jersey has a thick fog cloud interspersed with lettering.
According to the team’s statement, the two images are a combination of “beauty, strength and intrigue” and the jersey “conveys a mood and a symbol of pride that you are in the presence of Giants in this bustling city, which is home to some of the biggest baseball fans in the world. “
Oracle Park – the home ground for the Giants since 2000 – sits on the edge of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Golden Gate Bridge is about a 20-minute drive away.
In conjunction with the City Connect Series jersey, the Giants share local stories that show a piece of San Francisco. The first winners are the Lowell High School softball and baseball teams – the two champions this season – and Janice “JJ” Conley, staff member of the Willie Mays Boys & Girls Club, located in the city’s Bayview Hunter’s Point neighborhood. .
The Giants will present the City Connect jersey on Saturday, July 10 at the Green East Marina in a free event featuring food, music, performances and more.
San Francisco will wear the jerseys for the first time in the upcoming weekend series against the Washington Nationals, July 9-11, and the Giants are expected to don their new sons in six more games this season.
