"The City Connect uniforms represent Detroit's unique combination of muscle and innovation and pay homage to the city that put the world on wheels," Ilitch Sports + Entertainment president and CEO Ryan Gustafson said, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck. "From the tire treads to the VIN tag to the M-1 patch on the sleeve, there are unique features on the uniforms, caps and, batting helmets we feel Tigers fans and Detroiters will appreciate."
