City Connect uniforms with greenand-white mountain theme unveiled
Step aside, Turn Ahead the Clock jerseys.
The Colorado Rockies unveiled their new City Connect uniforms on Friday and they just might be the franchise’s loudest yet.
The uniforms, which celebrate the entire state rather than just the city of Denver, are green and white with a snow-capped mountain range emblazoned across the chest — a nod to the state’s iconic license plates.
There’s a black-and-yellow “5280” patch on the right sleeve that includes a pair of black diamonds, which “serve as a warning to the uninitiated to the task that awaits them,” according to a video narrated by Jack Corrigan that was posted to the Rockies’ Twitter account.
The other sleeve features the traditional CR logo, while a “Welcome to colorful Colorado” patch is also stitched into the front.
The uniforms are also accompanied by two-toned green-andwhite hats with a circular “CO” mountain logo stitched into the front. The logo is yellow, red, purple and blue.
The uniforms are set to debut in a June 4 game against the Atlanta Braves at Coors Field and will be worn in Sunday home games after that.
“I really like the emblem and the hat,” Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon texted to The Post’s Patrick Saunders.
“I think it is going to become popular!”
Friday’s game ppd. The second game of the Rockies-nationals series set for Friday evening in Washington has been postponed,
the teams announced, due to a strong possibility of severe thunderstorms in the D.C area.
Colorado will now play a doubleheader Saturday. The first game is at 10:05 a.m. and the second at 4:05 p.m.
The Rockies enter the matchups having lost 13 of their previous 17 games. Colorado has scored 10 or more runs three times over that stretch while also being held to less than two runs on five occasions.
On Thursday, the Rockies dropped their series opener in Washington, 7-3, with another poor start from German Marquez.
