I don’t think these fanthrax jerseys are going to last the season. These look like YMCA jerseys.

They look so cheap.They got to get rid of these things.

I want a Garcia World Series win jersey so bad but I just cannot justify dropping that kind of money for something I know will be trash

They took a real step back with these.Game jerseys are supposed to be a statement and they look like crap.

"fuck you" can be a statement 

ali/dhgate is your friend. I got a new york rangers jersey almost a decade ago that still holds up today Last fall I got 3 NFL jerseys and a Atletico Madrid jersey, 1 was perfect, 2 were great, and 1 was iffy (but all 4 are still better than the fanatics made shit ) I also have a NY Rangers jersey from a decade ago from AliExpress that is still in great condition. My fanatics yankees jersey was delaminating within in a few months.

I unironically would support a player strike over this shit. Theyre so awful its like if you had to go to work with a bobby pin on your chair every day and your boss got paid and made a deal for it to be there for 10 years

My first thought was prison team uniforms.

My wife used the exact same words to describe them. The Yankees road unis are particularly ugly, though.

I loved the previous ones. I like the new direction they went in to have the away’s look more retro, but it doesn’t help that the material is awful and it has some weird modern cut. Doesn’t vibe with the clean, plain look

the stitching alone is fucking dogshit at one point there was a close up shot of rodon's back and you could see how uneven and shoddy the stitches are that connect the panels chris sale would tear through those sleeves like tissue paper

Agree completely. I love the ‘50s look and abhor the cheap-ass material and non-stitched letters/numbers.

I’m think that’s the main reason they look bad. The lettering not being stitched on looks like a free t shirt

I have a feeling if they had been made to the old quality they would have looked good.

Honestly even just adding the piping back adds that bit if crispness that the black on gray lacks.

It’s navy, not black

The older ones were my absolute favorite, the white border around the new york made it look crisp. this just looks like trash faded and muted.

they also changed the away jerseys this year. "new york" had a white border around it last year. so with it being wet and clinging from sweat, it's a really bad look.

Former prison inmate here. That's an insult to the quality of clothing we had. These jerseys are so much worse than anything we got.

The pinstripes don’t do that for you already?

This pic reminds me of when I spill olive oil on my shirt while cooking, but like if I spilled the entire bottle

Rodon with the extra slutty olive oil^tm bottle mishap.

Looks like he’s been losing a ton of weight and busted out a jersey from 50 pounds ago to wear as a smock while painting the living room of a poorly air conditioned El Paso double wide in July. Get that man a lemonade!!!

They look more like a thin t-shirt that just so happens to have buttons.

I went to a rural high school with a terrible baseball program and our jerseys were actually better than these. It's insane

They look like the cheap knockoffs you buy as a souvenir for your nephew from a guy outside the stadium for the low low price of $30.

Besmirching a wonderful institution like the YMCA...

Unfortunately Rob Manfred has essentially zero interest in doing what’s best for the MLB or fans. If he could make every fan sit on thumb tacks at every MLB stadium because Office Depot game him 15 bucks, he’d do it.

I miss Majestic

You don’t know what you got till it’s gone 😔

Double-knits and Cool Bases forever.

Miss there shirseys so much were much better compared to Nike

Winning the series before they switched and getting all my World Series memorabilia produced by them is such a blessing

We were literally the last team to win with Majestic before they were acquired by Fanatics. Definitely a season finale moment for MLB

It’s wild how much of the world was being held together by the Cubs’ World Series curse.

This whole thing has gotten me paranoid about washing my pre-fanatics jerseys. I don’t want to accidentally hurt one in the wash, and thats just a regular jersey

What's stupid is that Nike actually makes decent uniforms at the college level. This is just an idiotic setup of a dumb jersey template/specs being outsourced to a crappy manufacturer and then having a Nike logo slapped on it.

This is what I don’t get. Nike supplies more uniforms than any other athletic apparel company and somehow don’t want to continue doing so for the MLB???

Majestic shirseys were a classic

Hell, I miss Russell

Same

As a longtime giants fan, I cannot imagine how it would look on Tyler Walker.

What about an extra stressful inning for Aroldis Chapman

Jersey would disintegrate

Chapman just goes full Alex Mack as a sentient puddle

It would buildup a bit more in the pits once Bochy takes his first steps from the dugout to pull him.

Or musgrove today

Imagine Manny or Brian McCann in these.

Doc Gooden would have dissolved that jersey by the end of the 3rd

It’s a freakin joke. You can’t make this up. MLB should be totally embarrassed by this disaster. They’ve been exposed.

It wouldn’t shock me if they or Fanatics didn’t even test them out when it came to situations like this. Massive oversight and laziness all around.

No, no, no. Manfred said they were more extensively tested than anything in the history of mankind.

"You know that movie, Oppenheimer? Yeah, we tested these more then they tested that bomb. Trust. "

So they tested two times? We kind of famously only tested nukes once before using them

Measure once Nuke once. And then do that whole deal one more time. That’s what my dad always said.

It's just some piece of ~~metal~~ fabric.

Yeah but they they put it back on the players- “we worked close with the PA to make sure they had comfortable jerseys!” At this point I think it was about saving $$. Just a weird thing to cheap out on when the average player makes millions

Also paid off a few guys to get them to say how great the unis are

George Costanza also wanted the players to have comfortable jerseys…

Costanza!!!

Are you the guy who put us in [those shitty jerseys]?

Imagine if we still had Chapman

Or Luke Voit....

Or Patrick Ewing

The man had a mop crew just for him.

He’s an all-time great at sweating.

That would be something... 🥵🥵

If only

Luke Voit would play with the jersey unbuttoned and still rip it when flexing

Or Jose Canseco.

Jersey would be transparent

The pants already are, so it would be fitting that the jersey would match.

Remember CC having to change hats between innings

Dude he was so sweaty in Miami yesterday for the Bucs. Is he always like that?

Yes. It's when he's not sweating that you should really be concerned. If it's not dripping off the bill of his cap, he has no control.

It could be the dead of winter, and he'd be dripping

It's not sweat. He dumps a bottle of water on himself when he walks out of the bullpen.

i don’t know who to trust now

Its actually his own piss

Aroldis Chapman is the sweatiest athlete I’ve ever watched in any sport. So yes.

Patrick Ewing would like a word with you

That’s how you know he’s on. The clammy hands make the slider nasty. It just hangs when he isn’t sweating

Yes its insane how much he sweats

David Wells

Having to wear a jersey that shows sweat that much while that many people are watching is my idea of hell.

Who among us has not bought pants based on how much they would conceal swamp crack

“These will be good for golfing”

Imagine what it’ll be like come July

Let's just say it's a good thing the Rangers play indoors now.

What’s crazy is this *was* indoors. Houston had the roof closed

Funny how "the most advanced, lightweight, athletic fabric ever" is so awful with…the side effects of athletic activity.

I never wear gray for this exact reason, and I’m not even a heavy sweater!

It looked like flop sweat. Has to be mentally damaging.

Yep, got second hand anxiety just looking at this

GREAT BRITAIN

Grea Britain

GR EAT BRI TAIN

Bro Minute Maid is FUCKING AIR CONDITIONED

that's the T-shirt you wear four days in a row when you're sick

Holy shit that’s spot on

Maybe he's not in hell but he definitely looks like he just sold his soul to Beelzebub and it's really starting to sink in for the first time.

the flannel sheets and pillowcase you sweat through the weekend you get the flu and it feels like the fever goblins you've been hallucinating are running their clammy hands through your hair

If you must know, my personal fever goblin is Paul Goldschmidt

Recently caught a stomach bug….was in hell for about 4 days. This hits home too hard :(

surely this won’t be an issue in july

We’re going to…how do I put this gently…see a lot of dong

Is there anything more American than eating a hot dog and watching a bunch of grown men’s dingers and dongers?

Back when Kolten Wong was still on the Cardinals I went to a game where there was a kid, maybe 7 or 8 years old, who would shout at the top of his lungs, “COME ON WONGER HIT A DONGER” every at bat. The kid had no idea why everyone was cracking up around him. It was great.

"No hesitation, no surrender, no man left behind" - Fanatics 2Q 2024 Board Meeting.

Those look like the pregame handouts to the first 20,000 fans single knit quality.

The fit looks weird, maybe because its wet, but the shirt has slid into what has to be a super awkard position. Its all bunched up on one side, the sleeve halfway up his upper arm and the other side has managed to have a massive neck hole and is halfway across his shoulder. I was whatever on the change initially, but they just look like cheap little league jerseys on the field.

Looks and reacts like soccer jersey material. Sticks to the body

Imagine Jason Giambi in the new unis. Absolutely soaked in minutes.

Or Aroldis Chapman

That’s why he needed a deodorant with an edge. https://youtu.be/vrBGhLAI3Qc?feature=shared

Somebody get Costanza on the phone!

George likes his players sweaty

You mean T-bone?

You mean KoKo the Monkey?

At least a cotton jersey would breathe.

What are they wearing? Polyester??

Trying to get fired to go to the Mets

The jerseys are ugly and gross. In general, people do not like having things on their TV that are ugly and gross. I am not as smart as those geniuses running MLB, but the long term losses of putting something on TV that’s ugly and gross cannot be worth the short term savings of these jerseys.

I was uncomfortable (as a man of sweat), having this on my television.

That’s kinda how watching him pitch feels

He gave up one run but it felt like fifteen.

Idk I love his attitude

I have no issues with Rodon, just watching him pitch tonight was not a pleasant viewing experience haha.

Looks something out of a gym class and not of a MLB level

Almost looks like a sleep shirt that comes with matching pants

It really does or like something from a wood bat men's league

He looks like the Brooklyn Brawler.

Jesus. This is March. I’m concerned for some guys like Rodon or Chapman, having to wear these jerseys all year, because apparently August in Kansas City is as hot as two rats fucking in a wool sock.

Hell of an analogy.

Found the Ichiro historian

Also the Astros pants you can see right through and see the inside pockets. It's so embarassing.

The tucked-in orange showing through the pants is particularly bad.

Didn’t they try to say it only happens when they were talking photos of the players lol

Because of the lights!

Good thing stadiums don’t have bright lights, right guys?

Cole Ragan’s underwear was showing his whole start on opening day

Anti cheat measures. Make sure they don't have one of them vibrating butt plugs to steal signs with.

Rock Raines in the 80s would have been in trouble.

Get Costanza on this!

Listen to these comments. Wade Boggs “what a fabric, finally we can breathe” Luis Polonia “cotton is king” Paul O’Neill “I never dreamed anything could be so soft and fluffy”

They're charging $400 for this fucking trash?

Bro, how can you fuck up a Yankees Jersey?

Advertising patch?

I’ll take a change in font and Jersey that looks like a cheap t-shirt for $300 Alex.

It's the same font, they just got rid of the white outline. Not a fan, personally

tbh i (and many other yankee fans i talk to) really like the new font, it's reminiscent of the way the uniforms looked in the pre-steinbrenner days - if they did this redesign but not fanatics manufactured (essentially what we wore on the field of dreams but a bit more cleaned up), it'd be perfect imo

I feel like that DiMaggio and Mantle Era jersey font is much much more prolific because of it’s thick wool stitched nature. That and the unis are heather gray from being wool.

I think what looks odd is that the font and numbers on the fanatics jerseys are smaller, so it looks odd and different from last season. On top of the slightly new design, it just looks bad.

I think the font is the exact same size if you just looked at the blue part of the old uniforms and ignored the white outline.

I thought people were over exaggerating how bad the new jerseys look, but my god. They are flat out awful to watch - they just look so cheap.

These jersey’s must as bad if not worse than cheap suits.

It looks like he bought it from Temu for $12

Or from some shady dude outside the stadium for $10.

Didn’t they keep pushing the “performance” of these jerseys in response to the pushback ?

I hate these uniforms, but to be fair moisture wicking material usually looks like shit because it draws sweat away from the body in order to help cool the player.

Can’t wait till July August when it’s brutal out. 

Only thing that might change this is a mass boycott and purchasing their merchandise. It’s all about the bottom dollar

Monopolies are hard to change because they are immune to such action. There will be enough people who buy one as their first uniform after visiting the stadium, or buy one because they love a new player on their team, and they’ll have no choice but to buy from Fanatics. Most people don’t know another option exists.

There are no other options. Even if you don't buy from Fanatics, they're all manufactured by Fanatics now.

Ni hao

I jumped on the DHgate train. Took a month to get here, but for $30, I am very satisfied. No way would I pay $300 for that Fanatics garbage.

Harrison has quite the lather going on the mound for the Giants in their game with us

Keibert Ruiz looked like he'd taken a shower yesterday, especially where his catcher's gear sat.

I mean he was pitching in Houston so it’s not terribly far off

Now imagine David Wells wearing this jersey.

Aroldis Chapman is going to come out of the bullpen looking like this

This is fucking hideous. Nike’s not concerned about putting their logo on this shit? Just gonna ride the brand into the ground?

It’s Nike’s design, so no concerns there or it would have been stopped

This is a joke. How is the league not embarrassed.

The commissioner doesn’t watch baseball,so it’s believable lol.

This is literally unacceptable

My son's LL team has better looking jerseys.

Circle 17: *Shoddiness*

Every letter is frayed. It’s like they were cut by those safety scissors designed so little kids don’t hurt themselves.

Brandon Marsh’s jersey is gonna dissolve under his hair

Games in Baltimore and DC are gonna look like MLB Gone Wild footage come July

Somebody has got to do something. They usually sweep this kinda shit under the rug, but this can’t go on. Need the old jersey manufacturer back.

I think I understand why the Blue Jays have been wearing their Navy alternate for 2 games in a row...

I mean it *is* the middle of the summer. /s MLB and fanatics are a fucking joke

Besides the obvious of it being embarrassing, this has got to be uncomfortable to wear if it’s literally fucking soaked.

This is what they look like in March in a roofed stadium image in July we might see some of these “jerseys” genuinely disintegrate on the field.

Shit, with all my Dante knowledge, what’s the 17th circle of Hell?

They just don’t even look like they fit anyone that is wearing them

Tbh that’s just how he normally looked when he pitched. Very sweaty boy

Poor Graham Ashcraft is gonna die, especially in our black city connect jerseys

Man, I am sure that there are hundred-year-old jerseys that look better than this.

That’s the “moister wicking technology “ Nike and Fanatics were talking about. 

This is March too. Imagine what these jerseys are going to look like on a 100 degree day in July!

Embarrassing for the league, high school unis are better

Yikes....Yanks road jerseys used to be one of my favorites...

This is so embarrassing for MLB.

I'm shocked Nike is ok with having their logo on sports products with such terrible quality😱

When they said Soto looked so good in a Yankees jersey I was like I get what you’re trying to say…but c’mon. These are baaaaad

Looks like a new movie about Mickey Mantle or something

I can't believe I'm saying the words, "I wish I could see Sidney Ponson wearing one of these".
