Major League Baseball's Spring Training 2024 is facing a crisis as players complain about the see-through uniforms. The issue has sparked mixed reactions among players and fans, with some finding them shoddy and cheap while others see humor in the situation. Nike's design of the uniforms, including see-through pants, tiny player names, and design changes, has been widely criticized. The Kansas City Royals stand out for maintaining regular-sized lettering on their jerseys, receiving praise for their appealing uniform.
Nike and MLB’s new jerseys have been widely panned by fans and players, but the Kansas City Royals got a waiver to fix one of the most heavily criticized elements And it almost makes it more frustrating considering how easy Nike could have had it https://t.co/Sd2Arbpr0g
It seems that Fanatics was unfairly dragged for its role in MLB’s Pantsgate. It was, after all, Nike’s design that players and fans hate… @Ourand_Puck explores. https://t.co/Dr0NtKyvC4
If the name lettering is going to look so tacky on the new MLB uniforms, just take the names off. It would look better.

These MLB players are still wearing the old pants at spring training instead of Nike's see-through Fanatics pants https://t.co/w86UUGSII7 https://t.co/3SG95m5EM8
The Royals worked with MLB and Nike to maintain the regular-sized lettering on the back of their jerseys, per @UniWatch. Look how much better it looks… (Via @RoyalsDaily_) https://t.co/l6Np9nKS99
It’s absolutely nuts that MLB, Nike, and Fanatics imposed ugly-ass uniforms on everyone this year. Yet it may be even nuttier that they’re willing to let a team go back to a better looking jersey simply because they asked if they could. https://t.co/zX5k6eZXii
I know I can be snarky and back-hand compliment the Royals a lot, so I want to be clear that this is sincere praise: the Royals are the only team in baseball right now wearing a uniform that actually looks good. https://t.co/f3tSGi3eI0
MLB's new uniforms are creating quite a stir and a mixed response. Some players and fans find them shoddy and cheap while other players and fans find them hilarious, columnist Scott Ostler writes. https://t.co/ZCFNgZet9n

A new Astros cap for sale has fans scratching their heads. The new hats show a desert, but something's not quite right with the cactus on it 🤔 https://t.co/kyYu7B9xAE
Everyone's making the same Seinfeld jokes about George Costanza designing the new MLB see-through pants https://t.co/ET1MXkfAlH https://t.co/RrBg8iwFTs
There's a new Astros cap for sale, but some Texans may notice something a little off with it. https://t.co/e0nXRAOn48
Nike has made a mess of the MLB uniforms but it did the same with the NBA. I can't watch an NBA game without noticing the piping on the back of the arms isn't complete https://t.co/CQQvllUHKE
From @TheAthletic: Just how see-through are the pants? Enough to see tags and logos underneath. Enough to make a tucked-in jersey look like a diaper. Enough that spouses are making jokes about it. No one asked for this kind of transparency in baseball. https://t.co/sM2gCgq79b
The new hats are supposed to depict the landscape native to the team's home, city, or state. The New Era Cap Company makes licensed hats for sports fans and the Astros edition includes a desert, a cow skull, and a saguaro cactus. https://t.co/BlEFzYStSm
The Kansas City Royals just got their first uniforms ads, but some fans think the colors clash. https://t.co/BGy0s3RoNL

There have certainly been issues with the rollout of #Nike's new 2024 baseball uniforms -- see through pants, tiny player names, no more embroidered patches... so I reached out to #MLB to find out why these changes were made. Here's what I learned: https://t.co/dc38zKzNHy https://t.co/XnFx5ffBMH

It’s pretty clear no one at MLB saw the episode of Seinfeld where George changed the uniforms https://t.co/rVF4EBohKP
The jerseys are garnering less than rave reviews. The pants are, uh, see-through. But why haven't you been able to tell on some broadcasts so far? @stephenjnesbitt on what we know so far about the ever-changing MLB uniform saga ⤵️ https://t.co/DzThIABg7d https://t.co/3Ny08FynvB
