MLB Players SOUND OFF with MORE jersey problems

It would seem easy enough for MLB to declare the situation unacceptable and mandate changes. But this is a delicate dance of corporations with a partnership worth more than $1 billion. The offspring of the relationship is a problem child. But the league and its official uniform supplier, Nike, have been reluctant to take responsibility.
Original reporting: theathletic.com/5388778/2024/...
In a statement, MLB praised Nike’s “expertise in bringing innovation and design improvements” and its “extensive multi-year process” in arriving at the 2024 uniforms while acknowledging there are issues for Nike to address.
“Nike chose the letter sizing and picked the fabric that was used in these jerseys,” MLB said. “Fanatics has done a great job manufacturing everything to the exact specifications provided by Nike. As part of this significant transition, Nike will continue to explore necessary adjustments to certain elements of the new uniforms to meet the needs of MLB Clubs and players.”
Such gentle jabs are as far as MLB has gone in putting any of the blame on Nike - while accepting no fault of its own. Nike’s statement Tuesday was only its second since players began complaining about the uniform fit and design this spring, and the first time the company has said anything about the product needing change.

It’s an economic scam. It cost a lot of money to make ‘authentic’ uniforms that the fans can buy. So they bacially decided to go knockoff and call it “authentic” so they can still charge premium prices but manufacture them as cheaply as the asian knockoff

The Asian counterfeit jerseys are much better quality than the new authentic MLB jerseys, at 1/10 of the price.

@GSmith228 2 месяца назад

I remember when Nike took over the contract they purchased all of majestics’ inventory. Did that inventory finally run out causing Nike to make their own? This is such an issue with the new stuff. Why is it so difficult to go back when there wasn’t a problem with literally anything? Players hate them, fans hate them so what exactly is MLB doing here? But then again they allow angel Hernandez to continue being an umpire so why are we questioning anything at this point?

@louiscypher4186 2 месяца назад

Whether they can go back or not depends on a few things. A: Does the MLB contract allow the MLB to force them to go back or is the MLB bound to accept whats supplied? B: Did Fanatics retain the machines, IP and suppliers for the old Jeresys? C: Is Manfred a person or a very advanced Animatronic operated by a megalomaniac mouse and his well meaning but rather dimwitted buddy trying to take over the world?

Nike did this in the NFL. Their first year was marred by sweat panels and other issues. Then they kept the same shape for replica jerseys…except we don’t wear shoulder pads lol.

We have an oddly similar problem in Ontario with license plates. The provincial government decided to issue blue license plates that were new, improved, and the greatest thing in license plates ever. The only issue is that...well, they're useless. They can't be seen or read easily and there are safety issues. The government had no choice but to revert back to the old white license plates. Unfortunately, they haven't recalled the blue ones and over 100,000 are still on the roads. Nike should learn from our provincial government and skip to the part where they revert back, making sure to recall the new flawed jerseys in the process.

Reminds me of the NHL jersey debacle when Reebok took over in 2007. The new technology was so good at moisture wicking, sweat was pooling in players' gloves and skates.

They tried to tell me that since it was custom made they cannot accept any returns and I said that’s ok I’ll dispute the charges with my bank and get the refund then and sure enough got the refund and still kept the jersey to which I couldn’t even give the damn thing away and to think that some players like Judge, Ohtani, Acuna are going for damn near $500. What a fucking joke.

@MrRicklynch57 2 месяца назад

I saw the Diamondbacks elite jerseys in person. I think the what is looking cheap on TV looks really cheap in person. I'll use local teams as an example. The Giants had 3 layers of twill on their numbers and letters previous to this year (gold shadow, orange, then black) the A's 2 layers (yellow then green). Now it is one layer with all colors dyed in it, it loses depth and craftsmanship. This is why the Yankees removed the white layer behind the blue on their road jerseys. The same can be said for the patches it is a loss of depth and craftsmanship. One side note. With advertisement patches teams should remove their team patches for special events including the World Series, Jackie Robinson Day, etc. Adding patches to the front of the jersey looks bad.

I’m a Mariners fan and I will NEVER buy another Mariners jersey the way that Fanatics/Nike have made them. We previously had the best name plate in the league and now we have THE WORST. They changed the font on the back our navy blue road uniforms to something basic. Some of the team’s name plates don’t look too bad but ours look absolutely horrible. The navy blue on “Mariners” on the home uniform isn’t Mariner navy either. It’s way lighter. Let’s just call this what it is: Nike and Fanatics are making cheaper jerseys and calling them “authentic” to rip the fans off. And MLB approved it. Why? Because MLB doesn’t care about their fans at all. They’ve made that clear for the last decade.

Good thing these uniforms were extensively tested with players before they rolled them out. They all seem to know a lot about the uniforms, and they were clearly very involved in the development.

Brodie, (I'm at about a minute in and you may get to this point later on) what about something as simple as official team colors? I think it was the Cubs players that notices that the Cubs colors just looked different on these new dumpster fire jerseys. Absolutely no one is willing to own this mistake. I just hope fans aren't buying them, but we know they are because many aren't really tuned into this conversation because they're perhaps regular Joe type fans (which is fine). I just want them to be aware that the money they're spending is being spent on trash and they should hold off for a bit. But this is just how stuff goes (especially in the world of tech). We are supposed to want 'new' and 'improved' as consumers and if we don't see that from companies we like I'm guessing the thought becomes fans are just indifferent about gear and nothing feels like its moving. Well, the world doesn't have to move at such a brisk clip. Right now MLB and every other company under the sun wants to be a 15 second TikTok video, building trash product only meant to die for the sole purpose of being able to sell us more junk. ZERO quality, just trashy nonsense. I'm out on these jerseys. I don't buy every year, but I will occasionally as new jerseys or players hit that I like. Once the Nike logo landed I was out, but this?

Thank God they haven't screwed up the hats, yet. Just leave those alone.

That's corporate America making those decisions to be cheaper not caring about the product

How many pro sport leagues are there around the world. Any of those have these issues with uniforms? How does Nike screw this up so badly?!

Mr. Brazil, let us know if the NHL is going to back out of the Fanatics uniform deal now that MLB is dealing with bad situation.

I feel bad for players who miss out on the payoff from all those years of hard work and sacrifice. Picking up that jersey, seeing your name on and knowing you made it.

THIS. “Here’s your MLB jersey. It’s just the like the one the fans wear. There’s nothing special about it. Welcome to the Show.”

Good, I hope it keeps up. Eventually something’s gotta give

I live pretty close to the former Majestic factory in Eastern Pennsylvania, and have been there, and I know they know what is right, and what is wrong. I am sure the folks on the production line were upset with the "choices" Nike made, smaller name letters, different materials, etc., but there was nothing they could do. I blame Nike, and MLB for this issue, not the folks at the production plant. I have several jerseys from the past, and they are great, I hope this issue gets fixed, and soon.

It's an old adage but it always rings true if it ain't broke don't fix it because the quote fix always ends up being a disaster and that's what this is a complete unmitigated disaster

Baseball is said to be America’s pastime. I feel what’s going on with these jerseys is kinda a symptom of what’s going on with America. Things have changed, and not for the better, and we’re all stuck with the results.
