MLB Players Weekend returned for its third year on Friday, and fans are roasting the league’s decision to introduce solid black and white Players Weekend jerseys for every team in 2019.
In the past, teams wore special edition jerseys for Players Weekend, but still retained their usual team colors. This weekend, every baseball game on television will be almost indistinguishable, and you might forget which teams are playing if you aren’t paying attention to the scoreboard.
The Cubs, thankfully, wore their usual blue caps on Friday to add a splash of color to their game against the Nationals. For teams wearing solid white, however, it’s nearly impossible to read the logos and nicknames on each jersey. If you’re checking out highlights from across the league, every game looks the same.
Fans are not impressed.
