Womens Seattle Mariners #44 Julio Rodriguez Royal Nike 2023 City Connect Jersey

THE Julio Rodriguez SEATTLE MARINERS HAVE UNVEILED THEIR CITY CONNECT UNIFORMS, AND THESE UNIFORMS PAY HOMAGE TO THE RICH BASEBALL HISTORY OF SEATTLE WHILE GIVING THE TEAM A FRESH, MODERN LOOK. THE DESIGN INCLUDES NODS TO BOTH THE PILOTS AND THE STEELHEADS, TWO TEAMS THAT PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE CITY'S BASEBALL PAST.

ONE OF THE STANDOUT FEATURES OF THE UNIFORM IS THE RETURN OF THE TRIDENT LOGO. WHILE THE LOGO HAS BEEN A SOURCE OF CONTROVERSY IN THE PAST, THE TEAM'S SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING, KEVIN MARTINEZ, HOPES THAT THE CITY CONNECT UNIFORMS WILL WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN. "THERE'S A LOT OF LOVE FOR THE TRIDENT HERE," MARTINEZ SAID. "WE'VE LISTENED TO OUR FANS, AND IF YOU COME TO A BALLGAME HERE, YOU'LL SEE IT EVERYWHERE." THE TRIDENT IS PROMINENTLY FEATURED ON THE CAP, WHICH FEATURES A BLUE CROWN AND A BLACK VISOR, A COLOR COMBINATION THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED IN SEATTLE BASEBALL HISTORY.

THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY FEATURES "SEATTLE" WRITTEN IN A FONT SIMILAR TO THE SEATTLE PILOTS, THE CITY'S ORIGINAL MLB TEAM THAT PLAYED ONE SEASON IN 1969. THE TYPEFACE ALSO INCLUDES A DROP SHADOW USED BY THE SEATTLE RAINIERS, A MINOR LEAGUE TEAM THAT WON THE PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 1955. THIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS A TESTAMENT TO THE MARINERS' COMMITMENT TO HONORING THE CITY'S BASEBALL HISTORY.

THE UNIFORM ALSO INCLUDES TWO PHRASES THAT ARE SURE TO RESONATE WITH FANS. "SODO MOJO" IS EMBLAZONED ACROSS THE FRONT IN REFERENCE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE MARINERS PLAY. ADDITIONALLY, "MY OH MY" APPEARS ON THE JOCK TAG, A REFERENCE TO HALL OF FAME BROADCASTER DAVE NIEHAUS' ICONIC PHRASE. THESE PHRASES SERVE AS A REMINDER OF THE TEAM'S CONNECTION TO THE CITY AND ITS FANS.

THE SLEEVE OF THE UNIFORM FEATURES A PATCH DEDICATED TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, FEATURING MOUNT RAINIER, PNW LETTERING, AND LEAF EMBELLISHMENTS MEANT TO EVOKE THE BILLS OF THE PILOTS CAPS. THIS PATCH IS A NOD TO THE REGION'S NATURAL BEAUTY AND THE MARINERS' COMMITMENT TO THEIR COMMUNITY.
