The jerseys pay homage to Chicago’s road uniforms from the late 1970s and are set to replace the team’s City Connect uniforms in 2025. The Cubs will be wearing powder blue jerseys for the first time since the 1981 season.

The jerseys feature a new logo that combines details from “blues-era Cubs uniforms with inspiration from music instrument brands,” per the team.

The sleeve patch also includes custom lettering on a guitar pick, while the socks feature a six-string guitar stripe.

Chicago will be looking to end a four-year postseason drought in 2025 after finishing each of the past two seasons with 83-79 records. The Cubs have already made one of the major splashes of the offseason so far, acquiring three-time All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker in a Dec. 13 trade with the Houston Astros.

As Chicago attempts to find its way back into the postseason picture, the team will also be wearing new alternate uniforms.
