The Pittsburgh Pirates have unveiled a new Nike City Connect uniform that will be worn during every Friday home game in the 2026 season. The jersey will debut on April 17, 2026, when the Pirates face the Tampa Bay Rays at PNC Park. This new uniform embraces Pittsburgh's iconic black-and-gold identity, a color scheme shared by all professional sports teams in the city. Pirates President Travis Williams stated that the design embodies the grit, toughness, and pride of Pittsburgh's community. The uniform features a rugged pirates' style wordmark and is complemented by two hat variations: one gold with a black brim and another black with a gold brim, both adorned with the Jolly Roger logo. This marks the second Nike City Connect jersey for the Pirates, following the first one introduced in 2023 as part of a program launched by Nike and Major League Baseball in 2021 to celebrate the connection between clubs and their cities.
