The Arizona Diamondbacks are the latest team to release new city connect uniforms, with new threads that call to the franchise's roots, but also have a modern twist. Arizona returned to their original purple and teal colors for the new alternate jerseys they will wear for the first time Friday night.

Across the front displays "Serpientes," which is Spanish for snakes, the same text included on their original sand-colored city connect uniforms. A scripted "S" in the form of a snake is included on the chest, as well as the emblem on the matching cap. The previous version of Arizona's "Serpientes" city connect uniforms had their traditional "A" logo on the hat, just within a sand and black color scheme, which makes the snake logo on the new cap a fresh look alongside the vintage colors.

“I like them,” Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen said via MLB.com. “I think they did a good job. When talking to a lot of the people that are immersed in the community, that was one thing that they kind of hoped—that purple and teal would be incorporated back into the uniform.”

Here's a look at the new uniforms which were released Monday:

Baseball fans had some high praise for Arizona's new threads:

Elite color scheme.

I liked the cream ones just as much, but these are just as sick and more "D-backy"

Nice touch

They should go back to these colos permanently. So elite

Even as a Dodger fan, I gotta say these are probably the best City Connect unis I’ve seen so far

The Dbacks new City Connects might actually might be my favorite.

Bringing back that retro color scheme that’s one of the best ever, AND combining it with the already solid Serpientes design?

Absolute cinema. pic.twitter.com/fiMZD64jEY

After the new look's debut Friday night at Chase Field, the Dbacks will wear their city connect jerseys Saturday as well. They'll sport the "Serpientes" purple and teal look every Friday home game throughout the remainder of the season.
