Nelly Helps St. Louis Cardinals Unveil City Connect Jersey, Pays Tribute to Hometown

Nelly, the St. Louis native and iconic rapper, has once again shown his love for his city by helping the St. Louis Cardinals unveil their new City Connect jersey. This special edition jersey will see the team don red for a regular season game for the first time in their 142-year history.

In a video announcement for the jersey, soundtracked by Nelly’s hit song “Country Grammar,” the rapper expresses his hometown pride for The Lou. He highlights the city’s rich musical history, culinary delights, and sports passion, emphasizing St. Louis as a place where spirit flies forever.

The Cardinals’ City Connect uniform features a red jersey with the team’s birds-on-a-baseball bat logo, but with a twist – the word “Cardinals” is replaced with “The Lou.” This nod to one of the city’s nicknames adds a unique touch to the jersey.

Fans can catch the Cardinals sporting their City Connect jerseys for the first time in a regular season game against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The team will wear the special uniform in 12 home games this season.

In other news, Nelly recently made headlines for his unexpected reaction to the news of him and fiancée Ashanti expecting a baby. Despite the surprise, Nelly’s joy and excitement shone through as he shared the news with fans.
