The MLB Uniform Situation Is Getting So Rough Even Under Armour Is Taking Shots

The new MLB uniforms designed by Nike in conjunction with Fanatics have been the talk of the town… for all the wrong reasons.

While the jerseys got their fair share of criticism, nothing has been as discussed as the new pants that accompany them. That's because they don't exactly leave much to the imagination.

These things are shockingly thin, which means that the labels on jerseys, shirt tails, and… whatever else can be seen through them.

The MLB has tried to defend the new pants, but it's kind of obvious that there's a problemo.

Worse yet, it's giving the competition some ammo to troll the league and its uniform suppliers.

Under Armour is one of NIke's biggest competitors and you'd better believe that they were licking their chops when they saw a gaffe of this magnitude from the Swoosh.

The brand even came in from the top rope with a tweet aimed squarely at Nike, Fanatics, and their transparent trousers.

Simple and effective.

It's even funnier when you recall that Under Armour withdrew from a deal to become the MLB's uniform supplier and was replaced by Nike.

We all know that fans love a little bit of brand-on-brand petty beefing, so you'd better believe that people were eating this up.

The MLB has a problem on its hands. Those new jerseys looked a little chincy, but that seems like something players could deal with. Sure, it's not ideal, but a lot of the problems were on the back of the jersey.

Now the pants? I'm not sure who's going to want to trot out onto the diamond in those.

They're practically clear under normal lights, imagine them getting blasted by stadium lights. You may as well not wear pants at that point.
