BREAKING NEWS: Colorado Rockies Unveil Striking New City Connect Uniform Inspired by Mountain Twilight
Denver, CO — April 15, 2025 — The Colorado Rockies have officially unveiled their latest City Connect uniform, sending waves of excitement through the fanbase and the wider baseball community. The new design, revealed early Tuesday morning at Coors Field, features a bold and visually stunning split of light blue and deep purple — a direct nod to the breathtaking transition from day to night over the iconic Rocky Mountains.
The uniform, designed in collaboration with Nike, departs from the team’s traditional color palette in favor of a more expressive, story-driven aesthetic. The upper portion of the jersey starts with a crisp, radiant light blue that evokes the clear skies of a Colorado afternoon. As the eye travels downward, the blue gradually fades into a rich, twilight purple, symbolizing the sun setting behind the mountain range. This dramatic gradient is mirrored on the pants, giving the full kit a cohesive and unique look that stands apart from any other uniform in Major League Baseball.
In a statement released by the team, Rockies President Greg Feasel described the new look as “a tribute to the natural beauty that defines Colorado — from its high-altitude sunshine to the dusky, peaceful twilight that blankets the Rockies each night.”
The team also introduced a new cap to match, featuring a reimagined logo: the traditional “CR” emblem now rests against a backdrop of a silhouetted mountain range, with a crescent moon rising above. The cap retains the Rockies’ core identity while subtly weaving in the theme of transition and natural wonder.
Players took to social media to express their excitement about the uniforms. Outfielder Nolan Jones tweeted, “These are clean! Love representing Colorado’s beauty on the field.” Starting pitcher Kyle Freeland, a Colorado native, shared a photo in the new jersey with the caption, “Sunset vibes. This one hits home.”
Nike designers explained that the concept behind the split color scheme was to capture more than just a visual effect — it was meant to embody the Rockies’ dual identity: a team deeply rooted in rugged, outdoor tradition and the vibrant, evolving culture of Denver and its surrounding communities.
Fans will get their first glimpse of the uniforms in action on April 27, when the Rockies take on the Arizona Diamondbacks in a special “Twilight at Coors” home game. The event will feature thematic giveaways, a sunset drone show, and local music acts to celebrate the unveiling.
Early fan response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the Rockies for embracing their regional identity in a fresh, artistic way. Limited-edition jerseys and merchandise are already available for purchase online and at the team store, and they’re expected to sell out quickly.
With this release, the Rockies join a growing list of MLB teams using the City Connect series to showcase local pride and cultural storytelling — and based on initial reactions, they may have just delivered one of the most memorable designs in the league.
