Major League Baseball (MLB) is facing criticism over its new jersey designs introduced as part of the Nike Vapor Premier rollout. Reports have emerged over the last 10 days highlighting various missteps in the design and quality of the jerseys. Fans and commentators have expressed their dissatisfaction loudly, with some describing the situation as a debacle and calling for MLB to address the issues before the season starts. The MLB Players Association (MLBPA) has acknowledged the problem, stating that 'work is being done' to potentially fix the jerseys, which have been criticized for incorporating advertising and suffering from quality issues like shrinkflation and see-through material.
