“They didn’t even try” “Lookin like a pop tart” – Fans mock Los Angeles Dodgers' City Connect jerseys after Shohei Ohtani reveal

After a record-breaking offseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers have lived up to the hype surrounding them before the start of the year. Thanks to Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, the club finds itself at the top of the National League West and as a World Series contender.

Although the Dodgers are one of the top clubs on the field, they are not immune from miscues off the field. The team shared a photo of superstar Shohei Ohtani donning the club's new City Connect uniforms on Monday, and backlash ensued.

Los Angeles' City Connect jerseys have not gained a ton of fans online. The uniforms, which are rather similar to their everyday set, have received much criticism for using blue and red dots speckled all over. The dots refer to "the brilliance and diversity of Los Angeles" by using the colored specks to represent a galaxy.

However, the dots have not gone over well with fans. Many of the City Connect uniform's detractors have compared the gear to different desserts, including sprinkled donuts, Pop-Tarts and birthday cake icing.

"Lookin like a pop tart," one user posted.

"Looks like a cupcake," another added.

"Happy Birthday, hope you like funfetti!" one more shared.

The MLB's City Connect uniforms have drawn many mixed reviews. Some teams, such as the Tampa Bay Rays, have earned praise for their unique color schemes and designs, while other team's sets have been widely mocked. It has been an interesting endeavor for the MLB given the wide variety of fan reactions.

Some Dodgers fans feel the team put in minimal effort on their City Connect uniforms

While there have been plenty of reactions regarding the blue and red dots all over the uniforms, there is another large group of fans who feel that the Los Angeles Dodgers put minimal effort into the uniforms.

"They didn’t even try," one user posted.

"The Dodgers must have a very bland connection with their city . That isn’t very good at all," another wrote.

"I would've bet they'd do something better..." another added.

The team will debut their City Connect uniforms this Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels. Even though fans have been critical of the photos of the jerseys, the real opportunity for judgment will be when they are worn in action.
