The big reveal of the Arizona Diamondbacks ' new Nike City Connect Series uniforms is imminent, the team's first City Connect fits since 2021.

The Diamondbacks, according to Uniwatch, are set to wear their new uniforms on May 9 when they host the Los Angeles Dodgers. ESPN has reported it will be May 8. That means the official reveal could come before that, and speculation on social media is that a return to purple with teal from the early days of the franchise will be prominent in the design.

Unofficial photos and renderings of the jerseys have been leaked online for weeks. But the Diamondbacks have been tight-lipped about any details regarding the reveal.

Fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, have mostly expressed support for what they've seen. although there has also been skepticism about whether what's out there is close to what the jerseys will actually look like.

There is talk of the use of the word "Serpientes" on the new jersey, which would be in line with the Diamondbacks' first City Connect jersey from four years ago.

The sand-colored Serpientes uniform was a hit with Diamondbacks fans, and anything resembling a throwback to the colors of the 2001 World Series championship team has a good chance to be popular as well.

The Diamondbacks unveiled the Serpientes jersey a few days before wearing it on the field for the first time, also against the Dodgers, in June of 2021.

The Diamondbacks are one of eight teams unveiling City Connect uniforms this season. The Houston Astros and Washington Nationals have already worn theirs, and the Chicago White Sox on April 28 revealed their red and black Chicago Bulls -inspired City Connects.

The San Francisco Giants have also unveiled their new City Connect uniforms.
