The Boston Red Sox are wearing blue and yellow City Connect uniforms today to honor the Boston Marathon. These colors symbolize solidarity and were first used in 2014 after the Boston Marathon bombing.
When the Boston Red Sox play the last game in a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers this morning, you'll notice the players are wearing blue and yellow uniforms.
Those are called City Connect uniforms, and they debuted in 2021 − sort of.
The uniforms first appeared as a symbol of solidarity in 2014. The blue and yellow colors of the Boston Marathon were worn that year as a tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013.
But the City Connect uniforms were brought back in 2021, with other teams in the MLB adopting their own adaptations of the uniforms.
By 2024, there were nine teams with new uniforms − the Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays.

Here's more about the Red Sox' City Connect jerseys.
The City Connect uniform for the Boston Red Sox.
The jerseys feature "Boston" across the chest in a stencil font in blue letters that pays tribute to the finish of the marathon at Boylston Street.
The Boston Marathon inspired the color scheme. The shirts were bright yellow, and on the left sleeve, there was a patch that mimicked a marathon bib with the number "617," the area code for Boston and Fenway Park. The caps feature the iconic "B" but were in sky blue.
The Red Sox's 2025 "Fenway Green" City Connect jersey made its debut in 2025. The other Red Sox City Connect jerseys are the blue and yellow jerseys that pay tribute to the Boston Marathon.
The Red Sox also have "Fenway Green" City Connect uniforms.
These green jerseys, which first appeared in 2025, were made as a tribute to Fenway Park's "Green Monster." The lettering on the uniforms mimics that of the scoreboard at Fenway Park.
