) MLB Announces Uniform Changes for All-Star and Regular Seasons Following Player FeedbackMajor League Baseball (MLB) has announced significant uniform changes set to begin in the 2025 season, with full implementation by 2026. These changes include customization options for pants, increased lettering size, and a return to previously used materials. The decision follows feedback from players who raised concerns about the current uniforms' material quality, citing issues like transparency and discomfort. Additionally, starting in 2025, players in the All-Star Game will revert to wearing their team uniforms instead of the league-based jerseys introduced in 2021. Special All-Star uniforms will still be worn during the workout day and by players watching the Home Run Derby, while competitors in the Derby will wear their home uniforms. These updates aim to enhance player comfort and satisfaction, as well as fan engagement.
