The San Francisco Giants clearly feel good when they put on their creamsicle-colored uniforms — officially called City Connect — even if the uniforms aren’t wildly popular among the fan base.
Every social media post announcing that the team will wear the jerseys draws a deluge of negative comments, but whenever the team puts them on, they win. Such as Tuesday’s improbable 13-12 victory over the New York Mets. The Giants squandered an 8-2 lead before tying the game on Joc Pederson’s third homer of the night, a Splash Hit that fittingly traveled 415 feet.
The uniforms feature an orange-to-white gradient on the numbers and lettering to emulate San Francisco’s fog, but are often derided by fans as creamsicles. They’re part of a series of uniforms that Nike has been rolling out over the past two seasons to mixed results.
The team’s first six appearances in the City Connect gear in 2021 were all wins as well. They were worn for an entire weekend series against the Nationals, a sweep of an injury-riddled squad, and appeared again on July 27 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, when Cody Bellinger’s throwing error allowed Buster Posey to score the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth inning. The next City Connect two wins were also by one run.
