Nike to alter MLB uniforms by 2025 after complaints, The Athletic reports

Nike is expected to change several elements of its new Major League Baseball uniforms by the start of the 2025 season after months of complaints from fans and players, The Athletic’s Stephen J. Nesbitt and Mark Puleo report. According to a memo from the MLB Players Association to players, after weeks of conversations with the league and Nike, its official uniform supplier, the union has “receive indications” that changes will be made, including returning to the larger lettering on the jersey tops, and bringing back previous tailoring options on the pants, as well as seam stitch count and higher-quality zipper that were in place in 2023. “This has been entirely a Nike issue,” the memo said. “At its core, what has happened here is that Nike was innovating something that didn’t need to be innovated.”
