Brett Rutherford and Darby Robinson discuss the newly released Rays City Connect uniforms, which lean heavily into the skateboarding culture in the Tampa Bay area, as well as the team's old identity, the Devil Rays. We discuss what we love and what we might change about the uniform set and overall branding, but we are definitely happy campers.  We also discuss if this might be the first sign of a rebrand for the Tampa Bay Rays, as they continue to bring back the shades of green and purple that they wore in those early years where the baseball wasn't as good. Could a new 'SkyRay' logo be a fresh new start for the team when they open their new stadium in a few years?  Eventually, we have to talk about baseball, although it's been quite terrible recently. But we don't waste our time sulking, we debate ways the team could improve immediately as players return from injury or get promoted from AAA Durham, including top prospect Junior Caminero.  Learn more about your ad choices.
