Ha! Yes. The new uniforms are gross. They will have to be replaced, I'm sure, at huge expense and with a lot of waste.

Yes! Some of the pics are downright gross!!!!!!!!!!! I order fangear from Fanatics, knowing it's not top quality (altho with their prices, it should be) but for MLB to put all their uniforms with them, they should be good quality! I also think some of the lettering on the back is horrendous. It looks cheap as hell, and as someone put it "giving Word Art in a PowerPoint, circa 1998" LMAO.

I’ve been following the commentary and so far, MLB management is defending the uniform choice. I can’t imagine the players union is going to allow the season to start with their players flashing their underwear to fans.

I hope each player has a lot of replacements because the first hard slide into 2nd base and he’s going to need someone to bring him a towel so he get back to the dugout.

What?? The men dont like their unfiforms to be skin tight and revealing?? Women have been expected to participate in skimpy, tight, revealing outfits in sports forever, while men in similar sports are fully covered. My sympathy level as a woman is pretty low.
My empathy level as a mom to a former baseball player, though, is high. Those uniforms are terrible and unprofessional looking- and that is not even including the full view of the frank and beans.

Oh my! My sis and her hubby are heading to Florida tomorrow for their annual Spring Training outing. Will be awaiting a report! How fun, who do they go see!?! One of the players made a quip, but not a joke, about having to buy their own pants from Dick’s because there aren’t enough. I can’t believe they made this big of a change without giving them a good test run. I think they tested them at the All-Star game last year. Really, one “game” is enough data to be comfortable making this huge change? If they were ready for the All-Star game they should have been able to use them for warm ups at the end of the season. Especially considering Fanatics’ known quality issues. I can’t believe Nike agreed to pair with them. My calendar today is labeled ‘Leave Me Alone’ I’m so excited! I’m listening to the Braves preseason game as I type, and the first pitch of the spring training and Michael Harris II of the Braves belts a homer, gotta love it!  |

Not sure exactly - but they are Washington Nationals and Mets fans, so likely following both. They always have a great time, though last year she was fussing ‘cause their route took them past Mar-A-Lago! |

I’ve been watching games on MLBTV. The Dodgers/Padres played on Thursday and Friday and I watched Blue Jays/Phillies today. So far, I haven’t seen any teams wearing the new pants yet. A Padres player said that they tried on sample pants last year and again this spring, but they don’t have the actual game pants yet, and are currently wearing last years pants. Hopefully there is a LONG delay and they continue wearing the old pants.

You know, its disrespectful to fans too. We may so much money for tickets, concessions and merch that to have to watch our teams in cheap ass uniforms is disgusting - like nasty bathrooms, bad ballpark food, etc.

Except for a horrible color that makes me pay attention. It is hard not to notice this. Kind of like David Bowie's bulge in Labyrinth. How do you not notice? |

She said they looked cheap though, which I took to mean the quality (excluding the twig and berries issue) |

I have joked for years that the reason I go to baseball games is to drink beer watch men in tight pants .. but this is *not* what I meant! 🤣 We’re going to spring training in the Tampa area next weekend - it’ll be interesting to see the pants .. err .. up close and personal! |
