Many have rated the Houston Astros’ city connect jerseys as some solid drip, and fans are lapping it all up. With Nike announcing their city connect jerseys for 2022 in April, the Houston Astros saw their sales shoot up almost 3 fold. The spike in sales is comparable only to sales after their 2017 World Series win. The Astros sported their jerseys as they took on the LA Angels in a two-game series starting on April 20th and saw raucous support from fans. And as good as the uniform looked in pictures, it was only better on the diamond.
