You wouldn’t think that a serious league would have problems with something that should be as simple as uniforms.
However, anything can happen in MLB, as we have seen time and time again through the years.
Some of the uniforms designed by Nike and produced by Fanatics have been considered “see-through” by a considerable number of players; and fans have also been quick to point out the problem.
These jerseys were used in last year’s All-Star Game, and according to ESPN, some players like the way they feel but hate the way they look because they are, well, revealing.
The color of the pants is the new controversy in Major League Baseball, so much that MLB Players Association has had to step up.
Fans, of course, had a lot to say about the subject on Twitter, from jokes:

It’s bringing more attention to the game if you ask me.

To more serious complaints:
That because its cheap garbage like the rest of the clothing they put out. It’s basically Shein at this point. #Nike #Fanatics

The MLBPA is reportedly gathering information and feedback from players, and the hope is that something can be done to replace these uniforms before taking the field in the regular season.
“It’s disappointing that we’ve landed in a place where the uniforms are the topic of discussion,” MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said Thursday, per ESPN.
“Each conversation with the guys is yielding more information with what we’re seeing.”
Clark took the time to visit some spring training camps to talk to players, and he found endless complaints.
After visiting over a half-dozen spring camps in Arizona, Clark is getting a clearer picture of the complaints.
This one is not the kind of problem you would have thought MLB would had at this point of the year, but it’s a problem nonetheless.
