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 gaudiest 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. Basically, the Rockies answered the question, “What if we turned a license plate into a baseball uniform?”
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, because .
‘Colorado’ is more than our namesake.
Itap all of 𝗨𝗦.We are the fabric of our state 🏔️💚 /

And lastly there are the two-toned green-and-white hats with a circular “CO” mountain logo stitched into the front. The logo is yellow, red, purple and blue, in one more nod to the state’s ski culture.
The uniforms are set to debut in a June 4 game against Atlanta 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!”
Are these uniforms busy? No doubt. Will these babies will be flying off the shelves? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A bond beyond a city.
We are a connected State💚
