Quick Notes
Well, it looks like Major League Baseball and Nike will be making some adjustments to teams’ uniforms next season after “conversations” with players, MLB teams, and their equipment managers. Some changes will be made as soon as the second half of this season.
In an announcement today, MLB Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred said: “Player and Club feedback is extremely important to us… Together with Nike, we listened to our players and as a result, we are addressing their concerns.”
Some improvements to the jerseys will include larger lettering on the back, players will now have the ability to make individual customizations to their pants, and Nike is also working on a solution to address the slight color differences between the jerseys and pants of some Clubs’ gray road uniforms and the discoloration that can occur due to perspiration in certain instances. Once the solution is finalized, adjusted gray uniforms will go on the field as soon as the second half of this season.
