The Colorado Rockies' green and white city connect uniforms are going to be replaced after the 2024 season.

Prior to Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs, the Rockies announced they would be taking advantage of the agreement between Nike and MLB that allows teams to rotate in a new city connect jersey every three years to debut a new look in 2025.

The Boston Red Sox were the first team to use a city connect jersey in April 2021. A total of seven teams broke in the look later that same season.

Colorado was the 11th team to showcase its city connect jerseys, wearing them for the first time on June 4, 2022. The green and white color scheme with the Rocky Mountain logo was modeled after the state's car license plates.

The Los Angeles Dodgers became the first team to retire their original city connects and debut a second one. Their original debuted in Aug. 2021 and featured "Los Dodgers" written on the cap and jersey.

Los Angeles retired that jersey in favor of a new look with a cream-base color and blue lettering. The Washington Nationals are also going to retire their current city connect look at the end of this season for a new model in 2025.

Details about the Rockies' next city connect uniform have not been made available at this point. The uniform is designed to have specific cultural aspects of the team's home city or state.

The Rockies' primary jerseys include home whites with pinstripes, road grays and a purple alternate that can be used for home or road games.

Since the city connect jerseys were introduced in 2021, 28 of MLB's 30 teams have used them in games. The only teams that don't have one are the New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics.
