There is a long list of things that the city of Chicago has become known for around the globe. Day games at Wrigley Field certainly make the list, as would the vibrant blues scene and its part in music’s history and evolution.

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.

The Blues alternate uniform, as the Cubs call it, a tribute to Chicago's contribution to the electric blues movement—and their first time wearing baby blues since 1981.

To coincide with this weekend’s Cubs Convention, the Cubs today announced a new uniform, in a “baby blue” color, that’s intended to be a nod to several different styles of older Cubs uniforms, and also to celebrate Chicago blues music.

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.
