JUST IN: Nike unveils City Connect uniforms.

The Boston Red Sox are first of seven MLB teams.

Who are the seven teams? Right away I thought it was the reason why the Mets were bringing back the black jerseys. 

@metspolice Wait a second. Didn’t Cohen say the Mets players were going to help design the black jerseys they are going to wear at home on Fridays? Hmm who got the black jerseys back? Nike? This might be conspiracy theory time!

It seems I have been hanging out with my cousin the baseball conspiracy theorist Metspolice too much

The City Connect series will start with seven teams with scattered unveil dates: the Red Sox, Miami Marlins (May 21), Chicago White Sox (June 5), Chicago Cubs (June 12), Arizona Diamondbacks (June 18), San Francisco Giants (July 9) and Los Angeles Dodgers (late August).
