"Looks like a softball team from the 70s" "I think they look like a homework assignment I did on the bus the morning it was due" - Los Angeles Angels fans disappointed after images of new City Connect uniforms leak
The Los Angeles Angels were intending to unveil their new City Connect uniforms on June 11, but they were leaked early, and the fan reaction is not great. It was certainly not the reaction they were hoping for. Many fans gave thumbs down to the plainness of the design.
The leaked photo features Los Angeles Angels stars Mike Trout and Noah Syndergaard, along with Michael Lorenzen and Jared Walsh, sporting the alternate uniforms, and was posted to Twitter by Talkin' Baseball.

The uniforms certainly do have a certain plainness to them that makes it difficult to believe they will be considered iconic. If the initial reaction is anything to go off of, they will not be remembered favorably at all.
MLB fans roast the Los Angeles Angels City Connect uniforms
Fans of the MLB love the rich tradition of the sport while constantly hoping for growth, but this attempt to bring in alternate uniforms is certainly taking some heat from the fanbase.
This fan is certainly not impressed, and they remind him of lazy work that he once produced.

This fan sees the new uniforms as more dated than any current uniform.
@TalkinBaseball_ Looks like a softball team from the 70s.

This fan manages to take a shot at both the uniforms and the city of Anaheim, where the Los Angeles Angels technically reside.

This user would love a bit more variety out of all these alternate uniforms.
@TalkinBaseball_ We all have color TV now.Can we stop doing white or black. Maybe a little more color and flair.

This fan does not hate the design, but feels like they are not nearly as good as what could have been, which is hard to argue with.
@TalkinBaseball_ As a throwback uniform it isn't bad, but for what City Connect is all about, it feels bland or somewhat generic.

This fan sees a resemblance to the Philadelphia Phillies uniforms, and they are not a fan.
@TalkinBaseball_ are those the anaheim phillies?? https://t.co/dJdNmTjgf1

To cap it off, this fan takes a shot at the uniforms and the Los Angeles Dodgers simultaneously.
@TalkinBaseball_ They ain’t great but not as bad as the dodgers

Maybe the new 'City Connect' uniforms will just take some time to get used to, but for now, fans are left unimpressed after their first look.
