Diamondbacks Unveil City Connect 2.0 Uniform
The Serpientes are back—and this time, they're bringing the throwback heat.
the Arizona Diamondbacks officially unveiled their City Connect 2.0 uniforms, giving fans a fresh look that’s equal parts nostalgia and next-gen design. For those who have longed for the return of the franchise’s original purple and teal color scheme, this drop hits home in a big way.
From the moment the jerseys were revealed, it was clear: this isn’t just a uniform—it’s a tribute.
The 2.0 version builds on the original City Connect uniform launched in 2021, keeping the iconic “Serpientes” script across the chest—complete with the coiled snake "S" that’s become a fan favorite. But everything else has leveled up.
Gone is the desert sand. In its place? A stunning fusion of Arizona’s original DNA and modern storytelling.
Purple and Teal dominate the palette, a direct nod to the franchise’s earliest and most successful years—including the 2001 World Series title.
Pinstripes meet snakeskin in a bold pattern that merges the inaugural jersey with the “evolutionary” 2016–19 design.
The sleeves feature updated braiding, reminiscent of classic alternates with a modern twist.
A unique “Arizona Born” graphic inside the collar reinforces that this team represents the entire state, not just Phoenix.
On the sleeve, a custom flag patch blends the “A” logo with the Arizona state flag, redesigned in purple and black.
“This uniform embodies every facet of what makes us the Arizona Diamondbacks,” said CEO Derrick Hall. “It celebrates our past, our culture, and our fans—their passion is in every thread.”
It’s a sentiment echoed by the players, too. Ace Zac Gallen gave it his stamp of approval, saying, “I think they did a good job… I'm glad that they're incorporating some purple.” Outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is already on-brand with purple hair, while Ketel Marte rocks purple and teal cleats—fitting tributes to the team’s roots.
The attention to detail stands out. From the collar graphic to the custom textures, the D-backs and Nike delivered a look that balances nostalgia with innovation. “There are some subtle things people won’t catch until they have one in hand,” Gallen added. “That’s what makes it cool.”
