Major League Baseball (MLB) has announced plans to overhaul its uniforms by the start of the 2025 season in response to widespread criticism from players and fans. The changes, prompted by complaints about the new uniforms introduced by Nike, will include enlarging the lettering on the backs of jerseys, addressing mismatched gray tops and bottoms, reducing sweat visibility, and fixing issues with see-through pants. According to an MLBPA memo, the MLB Players Association has specifically blamed Nike for the uniform issues, citing unnecessary innovation on Nike's part. These modifications aim to rectify the issues raised and improve the overall quality and appearance of the uniforms.
