Uniforms! Get Yer Red-Hot Alternate Road Uniforms!

Lukas on all the teams' changes (or in the Mets' case, none)

Playing baseball is hard. For players new to the Diamondbacks -- who have eight different uniform combinations, more than any club in baseball -- so is getting dressed.

Nice! I think they did something like that last year too. The Bowie Baysox (Maryland) became the Cangrejos Fantasmas (Ghost Crabs).

What, no hat patch?

this could have been much worse, but the cap insignia is bad and the orange is too light/looks too much like red

The Giants ones are heinous (true about the red), but I'm into these:

The way of the serpent.

The jersey’s colors are inspired by the Sonoran desert, with ‘Serpientes’ snaking across the chest. The AZ flag speaks to the state’s beaming pride. This collection represents community, with respect for the past and an eye towards the future. pic.twitter.com/yS3a19Pfjs

oh my god

very much in character for BIG BAWSE

The Red Sox have done so well wearing their yellow City Connect uniforms that there’s a genuine question about whether they can be used for away games.

https://x.com/alexspeier/status/1690172476272025600

Ugh.

Just to clarify this: Sox can wear City Connect jerseys on the road so long as they don’t look too much like the home team’s jerseys. But they can’t wear white pants on the road. (Even though it’s not Labor Day yet!)

It's been fun but let's give the yellow a rest for a minute

grey and yellow isn't terrible, though.. kind of reminds me of the Eurostar maybe?

They should go yellow and blue

You’re such a hater of the yellow ones but they have the strongest aesthetic and they’re Bello’s faves

i’ve warmed to them as a novelty but the lettering still looks extremely junior softball league

better than the red batting practice style jerseys though i guess

blue trousers would be very bad imo. yellow ones would too

In a release, the new uniform “adopts colors that honor the spirit of Patriots’ Day weekend, and features ‘Boston’ in a stencil font across the chest paying tribute to the Boylston Street finish line. The numbers ‘617′ are highlighted on the left sleeve as a nod to the area code for Boston and Fenway Park. The numbers appear within a racing bib, honoring one of the city’s most iconic annual sports traditions.”

i know why it looks like that, i just don't think it looks good on a baseball uniform! i mean the new york yankees are free to use i dunno the lehman brothers font to pay tribute to the victims of 9/11 but it doesn't mean it works

You know i love you chief but what is that analogy

They look like traffic cops.

The worst, though, are the Rockies' City Connect caps. They look like trucker hats.

what in the

This is what the back of the white jerseys look like with the new template. Players are pretty unhappy. Miles Mikolas says they also don’t fit right; pants are no longer as customized, and the fabric is a very different consistency.

“They look cheap,” another player said. pic.twitter.com/UoH4vVHTfd

idgi, are the new uniforms nike vapor or fanatics?

Made by Fanatics!

so what’s with that press release about nike vapor? i’m confused

I think they contracted the manufacturing out to them?

Ah, I see that this is relevant reading once again. https://t.co/FFjoF94uQb

i didn’t know any of that!

The new MLB uniforms look so bad that the union is involved. “Any time there’s change, there’s an adjustment period," Tony Clark said. "In this instance, there appear to be some misses that could have otherwise not been misses."@SamBlum3 https://t.co/8TiztekdYh

— Marc Carig (@MarcCarig) February 20, 2024

That’s why the union wants to get involved in a remedy.

“We are on the phone with the requisite parties that are involved in making that decision because we aren’t,” Clark said. “We’re trying to make sure our guys have what they need in the fashion that they need it. And it’s reflective of what being a major-league ballplayer should be reflective of.

“It’s an ongoing dialogue. Hopefully, we can get some things done over the course of the next six weeks of spring training. Because I’d hate to be in a place where we’re still having conversations about some of the challenges we have in that regard once the lights come on.”

I just saw a picture, which I won’t link, of a Giants players visible balls through his baseball pants. These uniforms aren’t just cheap, they’re obscene

I wish morbs was here lol

And some say the eggshell color of the pants -- the fabric is the same as last year -- is creating a see-through vibe. The fit has also come into question.

After visiting over a half-dozen spring camps in Arizona, Clark is getting a clearer picture of the complaints.

"A lot of the rhetoric is confirmation that the pants are see-through," Clark said. "It's been an ongoing conversation where each day has yielded something new that doesn't seem to make as much sense as you would like it."

Each camp seemingly has a different issue, including some that are worried about supply-chain problems that led at least one player to tell Clark he might have to go to Dick's Sporting Goods for spare pants.

"Universal concern is the pant," Clark said.

I saw that, he’s in danger with the size of his backside 😭

"Universal concern is the pant," Clark said.

this is one of the all-time great utterances

that said, looking at that photo yeah, the pant is definitely a valid universal concern. they should replace them with skirts. the rockford peaches look. it'd look good and it'd be practical.

One of the most recognisable sights in the city though - plus green also ties into Celtics, Irish community in Boston.

Why is Boston wearing yellow

Hold up - this is the Mets home uniform ? Lol

Yellow and blue are the colors of the Boston Marathon
