The introduction of new MLB uniforms, a collaborative effort between Nike and sports gear retailer Fanatics, has sparked quite a controversy this training season.
Players have expressed their dissatisfaction with the designs, and now fans have identified a significant issue with the white pants being seemingly transparent.
This development came to light when Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area posted an Instagram story showing a player in the controversial uniform, which was quickly deleted but not before it was widely shared across social media platforms.

This transparency issue has led to a wave of criticism towards Fanatics, despite the MLB’s assertion that the material and thickness of the pants remain unchanged from the previous season.
The league clarified that alterations were made to the jersey fabric, not the pants. Regardless, this situation has caused quite a stir among fans and players alike, raising questions about the quality and practicality of the new uniforms.
As the preseason approaches, the controversy surrounding the uniforms adds an unexpected layer of attention to the sport.
While the MLB and its partners may need to address these concerns, the incident also brings a spotlight to the upcoming season, potentially heightening interest and anticipation for what lies ahead for the Giants and the league as a whole.
