Paying homage to the team’s iconic ballpark, the Orioles’ new City Connect uniforms feature the colors and distinct traditions of Camden Yards.

Green sleeves, matching the seats. A historic “B” logo on the helmet and cap that stems from the 1890s Baltimore Baseball Club. A sleeve patch mimicking the Eutaw Street home run markers. And that stunning clock re-created into a design near the hip.

The new City Connect uniform channels everything that makes Baltimore’s stadium unique and beloved.

“It’s hard to meet someone who doesn’t love or respect Camden Yards for what it is,” said Amanda Ozarowski, the Orioles’ vice president of brand and content. “I think already, with the leaks that are out there, we’re already seeing such a positive response, and I think that comes from how much this ballpark means to our city and to our fans.”

The Orioles will wear the new uniforms Friday against the San Francisco Giants and for every Friday night home game this season.

The City Connect uniforms began in 2021 in a partnership between Nike and Major League Baseball to create alternative jerseys that capture the soul of a city. The Orioles unveiled their first City Connect design in 2023 to a mixed reception. It was a black uniform with a colorful inside and sleeve cuff meant to represent the unique neighborhoods that make up Baltimore.

Even some players weren’t the biggest fans of the initial City Connect design. Right-hander Mychal Givens said he wished “we had a little more flair like other teams have. But, if that’s what whoever designed it or whoever approved it likes, we’ll go with it.”

Givens said he hoped for an all-orange look, akin to the 1970s uniforms Baltimore used.

But this new design, with a white base and green and orange accents, appears to be an instant winner among fans.

“I think, different from the last City Connect, people can more easily see the inspiration and see the city behind the art concept,” Ozarowski said. “With the home run patch, with the colorways we’re using, the brick especially, those are things that are easily resonating with fans, and you can easily make the connection to our ballpark.”

The jerseys, hats and other apparel associated with the new City Connect design go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday. The team store at Camden Yards has extended hours Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“This is a Camden Yards product,” said Jennifer Grondahl, the Orioles’ senior vice president of communications, “so this is where it’s going to be available.”

There will be three additional retail locations Friday-Sunday at Camden Yards: Maryland Square, the Bullpen Picnic Area and Eutaw Street near the Warehouse Bar & Restaurant.

The design process began “with a range of ideas,” Ozarowski said, but a wide-ranging team homed in on the Camden Yards theme. Ozarowski said the internal working group included the community team, communications and marketing departments, and “even some of our players kind of giving us their approval as well.”

The photo shoot for the uniform features Adley Rutschman, Kyle Bradish, Pete Alonso, Gunnar Henderson, Samuel Basallo and Trevor Rogers sitting on the classic marble stoop of a rowhome — a distinctly Baltimore look.

Across the chest of the jersey, it says BMORE. Ozarowski said the design team chose BMORE because “it was a little bit grittier and more modern. Really creating this nice contrast with this otherwise very classic design. So it gives us a little bit of edge while still respecting tradition.”

The Lifelike Bird logo, which first appeared in 1998, makes an appearance perched atop the “R” in BMORE.

On one sleeve, the T. Rowe Price logo was altered to match the color scheme of the jersey. Ozarowski thanked the Baltimore-based company for seeing the vision and adapting its logo. On the other sleeve is the home run patch, which is labeled, “From the stoop to the Yard.”

“Our home run markers are one of those things that are fan favorites, and one of those things that if you go visit another ballpark, no one else is doing that,” Ozarowski said.

The Orioles are wearing the uniforms for the first time on Friday, April 10 — or 410, which is Baltimore’s telephone area code. As part of the Friday night City Connect plans, the Orioles are holding 410 Day.

The festivities include free transportation on Maryland Transit Administration buses, Metro and light rail from 5 p.m.-midnight. DJ Quicksilva in Legends Park will spin music from 5:30-6:45 p.m. And there will be postgame fireworks.

On Instagram, Mayor Brandon Scott posted a video to promote 410 Day, calling it a chance to celebrate “our city, our culture, our swag.” Every Friday this season, the Orioles plan to spotlight one or more of the 279 neighborhoods that make up Baltimore.

The new City Connect uniforms will be a central part of the first night. And the Orioles are excited to finally share the final product.

“The City Connect was this perfect opportunity to honor this place that has been our foundation since day one, and that still stands as this lasting symbol of our city,” Ozarowski said. “It felt timely and especially meaningful to do that this time around.”
