The Rockies have four main jerseys (two road and two home). The regular home, road, and alternate road jerseys are fairly similar to what they have now  (white, grey, and purple shirts) but the alternate home (which is the vest-like jersey with the number on the chest on the right (from the player’s perspective) and the interlocking “C” and “R” on the left side of the chest.) That uniform (featured above) is a throwback for the Rockies now.

They have four other jerseys in the game.

One is a spring training jersey (black with white piping, purple on the shoulders, a script “Rockies” on the front, with the “Colorado Rockies” mountain logo on the left sleeve) and the other three are the team’s original jerseys.

The home, white pinstriped jersey with the script “Rockies” on the front (picture on the previous slide), the road grey jersey with the script ‘Rockies” on the front, and their alternate jersey (black with the script “Rockies” and the “Colorado Rockies” mountain logo on the left sleeve. There’s not a ton of difference in the uniforms. However, when you scroll through them, you can see the subtle differences.

You can unlock the 15 stadiums, 63 players, 119 jerseys, and two legendary teams by earning “MVP points,” which you earn by playing games and achieving different tasks (have five hits in a game, pitch a no-hitter, etc.) or if you use the cheat code to unlock it (your favorite search engine is your friend there).

For the teams, you have to unlock all of the players on each team to play with them.
