Some players get a nickname that ends up on merchandise. Charlie Blackmon got one that ended up stitched onto an actual jersey. If you are looking for a Charlie Blackmon jersey, you are shopping in one of the more distinctive catalogs in baseball — Rockies purple and black, City Connect green, and the Chuck Nazty nameplate builds that no other player in the league has an equivalent to.
Here is what the Rockies #19 lineup actually contains and how to pick the right one.
Fourteen Years, One Uniform
Blackmon spent his entire career in Colorado, from his 2011 debut through 2024. He won the National League batting title in 2017 with a .331 average, made four All-Star teams, and led the league in hits twice. His 2017 season — 37 home runs, 104 RBI, a .601 slugging percentage — is one of the best offensive years any Rockies outfielder has put together.
The beard, the eye black, and the nickname made him one of the more recognizable players in the National League even in years when Colorado was not contending. That combination is why his jersey outsells what his national profile would suggest, and why the novelty nameplate versions exist at all.
The Chuck Nazty Builds
The Chuck Nazty jerseys are the reason most people land on this page. The black Cooperstown Collection legend version is the cleanest of the group — black body, the nickname across the back instead of the surname, and enough restraint that it still reads as a real jersey rather than a gag.

The 2022 City Connect Green
Colorado's City Connect uniform is one of the better ones in the program. The green references the Rockies' mountain setting rather than the standard purple-and-black identity, and it is different enough from any other jersey in baseball that it does not blend into a crowd.
This is the pick if you want the Blackmon jersey that looks newest. It is also the one that ages the least like a throwback, since City Connect designs stay tied to a specific season rather than a decade.
The Standard Rockies Looks
If you want the jersey Blackmon actually wore for most of his 1,700-plus games, that is the white home Authentic Collection or the road blue. The white home with the Authentic Collection shoulder shaping is the closest thing to a field-accurate #19.
The blue is the more forgiving everyday option — darker, less prone to showing wear, and easier at a night game.
There is also a black-and-gold build, which pulls from Colorado's alternate palette and sits between the standard looks and the novelty versions in terms of how loud it is.
Sizing and Care
Baseball jerseys run looser through the chest and shoulders than football or basketball tops. The extra room is deliberate — a stitched baseball jersey is designed to sit over a t-shirt. Order your usual shirt size for the standard fit.
Coors Field is a genuine exception to the usual advice about sizing up, though. April and September games in Denver get cold, and a mile of altitude means the temperature drops fast after sunset even in summer. If most of your wear will be at the park, sizing up one to fit a hoodie underneath is more justified here than in almost any other MLB market.
Care is simple and it protects the stitching: cold water, inside out, gentle cycle, no fabric softener, hang dry. Dryer heat is what makes stitched letters curl at the edges. This matters slightly more on the nameplate jerseys, since a longer nameplate has more stitched surface to distort.
What to Pair It With
Rockies fans usually build their second jersey around the other side of that same era. Our guide to the Nolan Arenado Rockies jersey covers the third baseman who anchored those lineups next to Blackmon — an Arenado and a Blackmon together is the 2017-2018 Rockies in two jerseys, the closest that roster came to sustained contention.
Fans who like the one-franchise career profile tend to look at similar players elsewhere. The Joe Mauer Twins jersey covers a batting-title winner who also spent his whole career in one uniform, and the Andrew McCutchen Pirates jersey covers the other National League outfielder who became the face of a small-market franchise in the same window.
Choosing Your Rockies #19
Quick guide: Chuck Nazty grey if you want the version people ask about, black Cooperstown if you want the nickname with a cleaner look, City Connect green if you want the newest and most distinctive, and white Authentic Collection if you want what he actually wore on the field.
