The Chicago Cubs are set to host the annual Cubs Con convention this weekend in the city but before the festivities start, the franchise had some news. The Cubs introduced their new alternate uniforms and they appear to be a hit amongst fans.

The new uniforms were revealed on Thursday, going back to that classic powder blue color for the first time since 1981. This will replace the Cubs City Connect uniforms that they have worn the past few seasons.

This uniform change will feature new patches, logos, and lettering that all pay tribute to the electric blues movement that originated in Chicago.
