Fanatics’ Role in MLB Uniform Update Sparks Player Discomfort and Criticism

Major League Baseball attempt to update playing uniforms for all 30 clubs has faced criticism particularly due to the involvement of Fanatics known for poor quality in its products. The new uniforms, engineered by Nike aim to provide more stretch and faster drying but have been criticized for being revealing and having smaller fonts.

Players have expressed discomfort with one Orioles player likening the jerseys to “knockoff jerseys from TJ Maxx.” Fanatics responsible for the new uniforms has faced previous quality issues in its sports merchandise and players have complained to the union about the discomfort seeking alterations before the official rollout.

The league remains defensive about the new uniforms calling them “world-class.” The involvement of Fanatics known for selling poorly made goods at a premium has contributed to the negative perception.
