The Chicago Cubs unveiled a new “Blues Alternate” uniform Thursday, adding it to the home jersey rotation for select days while retiring their City Connect “Wrigleyville”

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 Chicago Cubs will sport baby blue on the field next season for the first time since 1961, debuting a new alternate uniform. Dubbed the "Blues Alternate," the look -- which was announced by the Cubs Thursday night -- pays tribute to the team's history and honors Chicago's contribution to the electric blues music movement with multiple nods to the era.
