MLB's new jerseys by Fanatics and Nike faced criticism as players, particularly Yankees, were seen sweating through them on Opening Day. Fans expressed anger and disappointment over the poor quality and sweat resistance of the uniforms, with some noting the visibility of sweat on TV broadcasts. The small last names on the jerseys also drew negative attention, with comparisons made to pitchers looking like they were randomly selected from the stands. The backlash against the jerseys continued as they were labeled flimsy and a 'disgrace' by critics.

The worst thing about the new MLB uniforms is the small last names. Pitchers look like they got picked out of the stands because they won a pitch-for-a-day raffle.
