The Arizona Diamondbacks and seven other teams will get revamped City Connect jerseys for the 2025 season, MLB announced Friday.

Now, what those new D-backs uniforms will look like hasn’t been announced.

The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies, Houston Astros, Miami Marlins, San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals will also get new alternates.

Arizona’s current City Connect jerseys are their Serpientes uniforms that riff on the Sonoran Desert, Hispanic culture and the team’s mascot.

It featured a desert sand base with black and red highlights.

The “Serpientes” script is a winding cursive snap, while the jerseys also feature the A logo, a “V” snake logo for the Valley of the Suns, and the state flag.

What could the D-backs’ new City Connect jerseys look like?

Might it be time for the D-backs to harken back to their past jerseys?

The Diamondbacks have run through a series of jerseys since the franchise debuted in 1998 with purple and teal primary colors and pinstripes.

The team introduced both black and grey jersey alternates with that color scheme before losing the pinstripes and flipping to a Sedona Red primary color.

Arizona added a more electric teal as a secondary color in 2016.

Many fans have long asked for purple jerseys to become a fixture rather than a select alternate, so it seems adding another purple or teal option to the mix would be welcomed.

Since this is a "city connect" uniform, how about something with "Phoenix" on it. You know, to actually connect with the city?
