Expand LOL - I owned one set of GENERALS back in the day this ad was probably from. They came on an otherwise beautiful Pontiac B Body station wagon (the old GM land cruiser). But they were compounded with this incredibly hard rubber - they would not wear out but they didn't grip anything. I finally replaced them with more than half the tread still good because they were so useless. Edited March 24 by gehringer_2 1 Quote
IdahoBert Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 I think I’m in a minority here, but I like our City Connects although I think a lot of teams have ones that suck. I did a Google search and of course “Google AI“ came back with a quick chirpy answer, but none of the links they offered verified the information they gave so it might’ve just made it up as is often in the case.

lordstanley Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Fine on TV or of course on radio. But I'd hate to go to one game at Comerica all season and have it be the City Connects instead of the classic home whites with the olde English D. Quote
Tenacious D Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I like City Connect. They are Fun. And serve as a reminder that it is Friday. And that nothing matters but the weekend. Plus fireworks. And that I get a two-day reprieve from my oppressive job and terrible workmates. And my internal demons and horrible thoughts temporarily subside. Yes, I like City Connect. 2 2 Quote

I thought for sure it was a minor league game by the uniforms. It was San Diego, playing in their neon color pajamas. I don't mind the Tigers city connect uniforms after seeing that. Charles Finley probably would have loved that look. 🤣🤣 Quote

KL2 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 So excited to be at the Yankees in early April. Makes going so easy and fun to sit in the cold and get heckled Quote
IdahoBert Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 Tigers on Apple TV Right now the Tigers will be on Apple TV on Friday nights on April 11 in Minnesota and at home against the Cubs on June 6. Quote
lordstanley Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I’m hoping to go to the Tigers-Mariners matinee on Wednesday April 2. I haven’t been to a game at T-Mobile Park when the roof is closed. Quote

So for me it makes me think of a nice evening in late May or June with a friend, thinking about the weekend, and where we'll go after. Quote
Hongbit Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Are they still doing Let’s Get Drunk Friday? Extended happy hour with early start times and drink specials trying to court the young professional crowd. Quote

I would like to see them change it to a sleeker, less cartoonish look, as the Astros have. Quote
monkeytargets39 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 I’d much rather see them embrace the orange for a city connect. The blue and black doesn’t really feel like tigers or Detroit to me. like do an orange jersey with tiger stripes and have the stripes be tire marks if you want to go motor city kitties or something. or lean heavily into the cocaine tiger from the 80s Quote

It's bad enough the current Connects look like PJs—I wouldn't want to see my team looking like clementines in the next iteration. Quote
