Information about the City Connect Jerseys
Press Release previously released from Cardinals:
The St. Louis Cardinals, with help from Grammy Award-winning hip-hop artist and St. Louis native, Nelly, today unveiled the team’s highly anticipated Nike MLB City Connect Series uniform and merchandise line.
The new uniforms, which feature red jerseys paired with white pants, includes a modern take on the iconic “Birds on the Bat” with chain-stitched lettering showcasing a familiar nickname for St. Louis (“The Lou”) that gained mainstream popularity through use by Nelly in his debut single and album, Country Grammar. The Cardinals’ City Connect jerseys mark the first time in franchise history that a red jersey will be produced for regular season play.
“The St. Louis Cardinals jersey is one of the most iconic in all of sports and we are proud to introduce our new City Connect uniform to build on that legacy,” said Team President Bill DeWitt III. “A great deal of thought went into the design, and I believe our fans will appreciate the many uniform elements that were inspired by the organization’s 140-plus years in St. Louis.”
CARDINALS CITY CONNECT DESIGN ELEMENTS AND INSPIRATION
St. Louis and the Cardinals. The Cardinals and St. Louis. An iconic city and an iconic franchise, stitched together in history. In 2024, this historic pairing is getting a fresh new look. The Cardinals City Connect features a nod to our proud history in The Lou, while keeping our gaze fixed on a bright future (see attached one-page PDF for visualization):
- Jersey Front—Birds on the Bat and “The Lou”: Featuring a modern take on the traditional “Birds on the Bat”, the chain-stitched jersey lettering showcases a familiar nickname for St. Louis that gained mainstream popularity through use by STL-native and Grammy Award-winning rapper Nelly.
- Lower Jersey & Cap Lettering: Reviving a classic Cardinals font, the “STL” cap and “ST. LOUIS CARDINALS” lower jersey font pay homage to the team’s 1920-21 jersey lettering, the final seasons before the “Birds on the Bat” were introduced.
- Circle Arm Patch: The sleeve patch is a salute to The Lou’s two most enduring historic symbols: the fleur-de-lis commemorating St. Louis’ French founding and heritage, along with a civic icon, the Gateway Arch.
- Jersey & Pants River Pinstripes: Introducing a new twist on a traditional baseball uniform standard, the river pinstripes represent St. Louis’ historic role as a river city, situated at the confluence of the Missouri and the mighty Mississippi. It marks the first use of pinstripes on a Cardinals uniform since 1929.
- 1882 Inside Collar: Commemorating the official birth of the franchise through the founding of the American Association’s St. Louis Brown Stockings, the jersey features a vintage “1882” on the inner collar.
- Red Jersey: The team’s City Connect jerseys marks the first time in franchise history that a red jersey is being produced for regular season play.
