The Red Sox will ditch their traditional jerseys for “City Connect” jerseys meant to pay tribute to the “unique bond between the club and the City of Boston,” and the Boston Marathon specifically according to a team press release. The new jerseys were designed in collaboration with Nike. The yellow and blue colors reflect the traditional colors of the marathon, which is traditionally held on Patriots Day.
The Red Sox will wear the jerseys on the weekend of April 17 and 18 in a series against the Chicago White Sox. Boston will then wear the traditional “B-Strong” uniforms for Patriots’ Day on April 18, as the team has done every year since 2013.
