Seattle Mariners City Connect Uniforms No Longer a Good Luck Charm

The Mariners lost 3-0 to the Houston Astros on Friday. The loss had much heavy impacts on the team's season. Houston pulled even with Seattle in American League West standings. It's the first time since May 11 the Mariners didn't have sole possession of the top spot in the AL West.

Less importantly (or more depending on how superstitious you are), Friday was the first loss the Mariners suffered while wearing their City Connect uniforms. Seattle was 8-0 going into Friday's game.

The uniforms are slated for Friday home games and have provided some good moments for the Mariners this season. Cal Raleigh hit a walk-off against the Minnesota Twins on June 29 wearing them, and Seattle kicked off a three-game sweep against the Texas Rangers on June 14 while donning the blue and yellow garments.
