Major League Baseball is facing criticism from players over its new uniforms designed by Nike and manufactured by Fanatics. The revamped uniforms, set to debut this season, aim to provide players with more flexibility and breathability. However, some players have raised concerns about the see-through nature of the pants, with even top stars expressing their dislike for the new attire.
Players have pointed out issues such as the pants being see-through, leading to discomfort and visibility of undergarments. Some players have also noted that the pants fit tighter than previous years, affecting their comfort and mobility on the field.
In addition to the pants, players have criticized the jerseys for various reasons. Some have mentioned that the lettering on the jerseys is smaller than before, making it less visually appealing. Others have commented on the font used on the back of the jerseys, expressing their dissatisfaction with its size and appearance.
The Major League Baseball Players Association has taken note of the players' concerns and is communicating them to the league. MLB, Nike, and Fanatics representatives are visiting training camps to gather feedback from players and make necessary adjustments to the uniforms based on the feedback received.
Despite the criticism, some players are taking a more laid-back approach to the situation, emphasizing that the most important thing is to wear a uniform and play the game. While the uniforms have sparked debate among players, efforts are being made to address the issues raised and improve the overall design and functionality of the new attire.
