Nike has released a new round of their alternate 'City Connect' uniforms for Major League Baseball teams - and it seems fans of one team aren't particularly happy with their new jerseys.
The San Francisco Giants seem set to be the first team to debut their new alternate uniforms when they'll don the new duds on April 8 for a game against the Cincinnati Reds.
But it appears that images of these new uniforms have already hit the internet - leading to scorn from Giants fans.
As posted on social media by Talkin' Baseball, images of a dark grey jersey with what appear to be altitude lines have appeared.
More detailed images were seen on the X account @BayAreaBryy.
The uniforms feature white bubble text that says 'Giants' on the front and has the same type for the numbers on the back. The nameplate is just in orange. It also features purple and orange accents around the text and on the sleeves.

Fans of the Giants - and of baseball - started tearing the jerseys apart on social media.
'The Giants used to be a serious franchise,' wrote one user on X, formerly Twitter. 'These are so so so so bad.'
Another remarked, 'Was this designed by Nickelodeon for the Splash HR's?'
'Why do they keep putting these out? And what's with the purple? These look like some kind of late 80s early 90s spray paint graffiti job,' said a different X user.
'Looks like the let the Sunday little league kids design their own uniforms,' said another.
'Horrible but still an upgrade over the last ones,' another user said.
That's in reference to the Giants' original 'City Connect' uniforms - an all white number with a gradient orange 'G' on the front and the Golden Gate Bridge on the sleeves.
The 'City Connect' uniforms typically tie into the culture of a city - whether that's the Boston Marathon for the Red Sox, Houston's ties to NASA for the Astros, or Milwuakee's ties to the beer industry for the Brewers.
However, it remains to be seen what the inspiration was for these jerseys.
