Fashion disasters happen to us all, but the National League All-Stars owe baseball fans an apology after this one.
On Tuesday, the 2023 MLB All-Star Game got underway in Seattle after a riveting — and heartwarming — Home Run Derby the day before. After last year’s All-Star jerseys knocked it out of the park with a crisp all-white and all-gray look for the two teams, the 2023 editions were a major step back.
Why? Because the National League committed the cardinal fashion sin of wearing navy jerseys with black pants. Yes, not gray pants as the “away” team, but a pure black. Here’s how they looked on the field.

Yeah, that’s just not good at all. Compared to the clean AL All-Star look — a dark seafoam green jersey with white pants — the NL All-Stars are so out of place. Had the NL All-Stars worn pants that were the same gray as their hats, that’d be a much more fashion-forward choice.
As expected, MLB fans had notes on the NL All-Stars’ navy shirt and black pants look.
these pants are a choice https://t.co/uDOLdpf6zZ

These are the ugliest all star uniforms in history. Bring back team jerseys.

As if wearing stupid All-Star Game jerseys isn't bad enough by itself, the NL uniforms have black pants.

All-Star Game Rants:
1. Navy jersey on black pants? 🗑️
2. This carpet is like 10 feet wide for intros. Shorten it up. It’s awkward.

The MLB All-Star jerseys are not good. Let the players wear their own jerseys.

People will make fun of the National League All-Star uniforms, but when you get a chance to pair Hypercolor tops with Carhartt Rugged Flex Straight Fit Canvas 5-Pocket Tapered Work Pants, you have to take it. For fashion.
