Jerseys have always been an essential part of a team’s identity, as their designs can evoke a sense of excitement among fans. In 2021, MLB and Nike shook things up by introducing the City Connect series, a unique act aimed at celebrating the rich and special culture of the team’s cities. The uniforms that came with the initiative are worn during designated city connect games. 

One team’s uniform that stood out in these games was the San Diego Padres. The team’s City Connect jersey paid homage to the rich Mexican culture that permeates Southern California. The Padres and Nike did an exceptional job of tapping into the vibrant and colorful Baja California region. They used a palette of pink, yellow, and mint to create a visually arresting design. But what makes this jersey even more special is its connection to Fernando Tatis Jr. The phenomenal shortstop is known for wearing pink every game as a tribute to his mother, Maria, and the particular jersey gives him the chance to wear the color prominently. 

Sneak peek into the shortstop’s special glove 

Fernando Tatis Jr., the electrifying shortstop for the Padres, has made a comeback with the team. The athlete’s most endearing quality is his deep love for his mother, Maria, and the unique way he honors her every time he takes the field. His signature style includes a splash of pink – his mum’s favorite color! 

Recently, fans were treated to a sneak peek of Fernando’s City Connect Friday glove, and it’s clear that he’s continuing his tradition of incorporating pink into his look. And the fans love it!
