‘What Even Is This?’: Fans Blast ‘Hideous’ MLB All-Star Game Unis

Major League Baseball is taking a storm of ridicule after unveiling its new All-Star Game uniforms that look more like Walmart t-shirts than pro baseball jerseys.

In years past, the star players simply wore their own team uniforms during the All-Star games. But this year, and for the first time, MLB has gone to the extent of designing special uniforms just for the big game.

Of course, the game has already sparked controversy after the league decided to punish the state of Georgia over its recently enacted election integrity law and moved the game out of Atlanta’s Truist Park in favor of playing in Denver’s Coors Field.

This week, the league revealed its new All-Star Game jerseys:

According to Chris Creamer, these uniforms will be worn during the game, too:

Apparently, many fans were not amused:

MLB really woke up today and said “How can we make the All-Star Game worse?”

Instead of players wearing their traditional jerseys during the game, they’ll instead wear these…… pic.twitter.com/vFFWkU9adF

I was already over the entire All-Star Game discussion in general, but these uniforms MLB unveiled today may be the worst part of this whole sordid affair. These are hideous. pic.twitter.com/GcStmI1pCv

Say goodbye to the really cool, fun tradition of players wearing their actual team uniforms during the All-Star Game. I love the look of all the different colors and styles in an actual game. Plus… these are just dreadful. https://t.co/2oAwmnl687

The MLB All-Star Game jerseys are so bad. Like, what even is this? pic.twitter.com/36aroddW33

Of course, these are all terrible. MLB continues to be laughably, embarrassingly bad at knowing its audience. It’s basically performance art, but I suppose I can respect the commitment to the bit. https://t.co/f220P3yR9K

…are you trying to make me feel worse about being a baseball fan? my god; everyone involved with this decision should apologize, retire, and leave the industry.

i know twitter is given to hyperbole but i promise i mean it when i say these are literally the worst baseball jerseys i've ever seen

These are very very bad. Bad enough you couldn't change the color scheme to fit Colorado, but you are actually gonna have them wear this IN GAME? Mistakes have been made.

I'm not saying this was his decision but if r*b m*nfr*d was an actual terrorist trying to kill mlb from the inside what exactly would he be doing differently? I'll hang up & listen.

Can you get out of your contract with Nike?

Wow, now I’m really glad the ASG was moved out of Atlanta… these are so bad.@deaninserra 100% is going to boycott the game!

— Andrew P. (@APoppell23) June 24, 2021

These are abysmal. I was so excited to see what they would look like being based on the one team that uses my favorite color. I guess a couple months to change the design from Atlanta wasn’t enough…
