MLB to Overhaul Nike Uniforms by 2025 Following Widespread Criticism
Major League Baseball has announced plans to modify its uniforms in response to player and fan complaints about the quality and design of the new Nike jerseys.
- MLB aims to address issues with the new Nike uniforms, including see-through pants and small lettering, by the start of the 2025 season.
- The MLB Players Association has placed the blame squarely on Nike, citing unnecessary innovation that compromised the uniform's functionality.
- Fanatics, the manufacturer of the uniforms, has been absolved of any blame, with the focus on Nike's design choices.
- Adjustments to the uniforms will include larger lettering, better quality zippers, and fixes to mismatched colors and sweat retention problems.
- The uniform changes come after a wave of negative feedback from players and fans since their debut this spring.
