Rob ManFRAUD is the worst, MLB jerseys were ruined last year when the league allowed greedy advertisement on uniforms. The once iconic Yankee pinstripes who never put last names and only reserved a patch on their sleeve for a fallen Yankee icon now wear an insurance patch. Seems like this has received more negative attention than the advertisement which IMO is where it all starts.

Could not agree more, it is so sad how the MLB is changing for the worst. First Manfred institutes the stupid pitch clock thinking it will bring in new fans while not listening to the current fans desires. Then he allows nike to put thier logo on the front of the jerseys and now teams are putting ads all over their jersyes. Pretty soon MLB jerseys will look like nascar outfits. It's a complete shame and takes you out of the enjoyment just a little

The fans in the stands will have better looking jerseys… that’s a damn shame.

This has been infuriating as a baseball fan broadly and a Phillies fan specifically. It began last year when sleeve numbers were removed. Now the names, in their specific typeface, are comically tiny to the point of being impossible to read from a small distance. The most egregious change has been doing away with the chain-stitched crest and replacing it with tackle twill. 32 years of tradition gone, just so some bean counter at Nike/Fanatics can say "Look how much money I saved this company!"

I expect sales to be flat this year. I'm not buying any new jerseys until the problem is fixed. Big mistake by both Nike and Fanatics. I've got a huge collection of jerseys but may have purchased my last

Yep like the other comment said no one else placed the bid. It’s too pricey for them to make authentics even though these other company’s make a crap ton of money.

I won't be buying a new baseball jersey until the quality improves. Same with NHL sweaters. Might have to wait a while

I have authentics from both Majestic and Nike, and some replica ones here and there. Never in my life did I think the knockoff ones on eBay would be better than official MLB merchandise in 2024 but hey

I wonder if when Manford buys a suit he gets the jacket or pants altered. LOL "Sorry sir we don't have the ability to do that."

I’m actually glad this is happening now just before the Fanatics NHL deal is supposed to start. Hopefully if there is a change on the MLB side of things we won’t hear the same complaints from NHL players down the line. Not holding my breath though.

I would have thought MLB and Fanatics would have shown some player and fan test groups mock ups to let them try them out and get their feedback. Obviously not.

Hello form the Lone Star State of Texas (Mineral Wells,Texas) Not really impressed with the new jerseys & Manford just needs to retire now not wait till 2029

Good discussion on this topic. Nike doesn't care enough about MLB or have the in-house production capability to produce at this scale so they outsourced to Fanatics. This is a problem because Nike is a world renowned brand that seemingly didn't care about their image this time around. You made a great point; one company needs to take ownership of licensing and manufacturing. I gave Nike a pass since they got the contract because they grabbed it when Under Armour couldn't afford it anymore. They weren't prepared. Now, they have no excuse.

I feel that this fiasco isn’t going to help ease those worries from people who are concerned about Fanatics taking over from Adidas in the NHL next year

NHL authentics (the on ice) are actually hard to get your hands on lol Adidas is actually under the process of being sued for marketing their "authentics" as such when they are really just high quality replicas lol

Great coverage! Just subscribed.

This is cost cutting masquerading as "progress". If they only changed the material, maybe I'd buy the evolution excuse. They didn't though, they made fit and finish cheaper. They forced all the teams to follow the same template changing small details about their uniforms in the process. They moved the logo, they made the logos look worse. These new uniforms are trash and people aren't snobs for trying to enforce basic standards.

100% agree!

What about the effect on sales? Wouldnt this motivate both fanatics and the owners to produce a product fans want to buy? I was planning on buying a new Phillies jersey this year, but i won’t be buying one of these.

Brodie, you nailed it, man. The changing of fabric is one thing. If they want to make on-field jerseys a different material for performance purposes, that’s fine. But what does that have to do with the size of the name and number? What does it have to do with the placing of the MLB logo? Nothing. This all screams “oversight.” There’s no way any of these execs look at these uniforms and think “these look good.” However, they do look at it and say “yes, this is acceptable because we save tons of money.” Then you add on the pants being see-through and not tailored…This is a disgrace to professional athletes and it is completely unacceptable. And as far as fans go, they didn’t have us in mind at all. I hope we all send a message to the buffoons by not buying any of these jerseys.

I understand the decision to change the cut and material (even though it seems too thin to me), but I don't understand why they also chose to change the names, numbers and the position of the MLB logo, not to mention no longer using embossed logos. It's inexplicable.

Professional is the old flannel jerseys. A’s last year was 1971. The Fort Knox Gold tops and pants were amazing. The road jersey was mint green not gray. And home was Wedding Gown white!. I have a decent collection of Kansas City and Oakland A’s flannel jerseys (from 1963-1971) and some early 70’s. First year gold jersey was made of Durene like football and hockey jerseys of the day. Really hot for KC in the summer. Switched back to flannel in 1964. The A’s played their last game in the alternate Golds against the Orioles in the 1971 playoff game 3 loss at home. They wore those at one of my first A’s games (doubleheader)on opening day 1971. Like a distant dream now😢😢😢

I dont know much about how jerseys are supposed to look but even I could look at those jerseys there at the end and tell that it wasnt right. The names are too small, theyre too close together. It just makes it that much harder to read from far away

Stay on it Brodie. Thanks for all your hard work!

This is just like that episode of Seinfeld where George makes the Yankees switch over to cotton uniforms because "they breathe," and then they immediately shrink when they wear them on the field 🤣

Thank you for being real Brodie🙌🏼

Thank god I just have a jersey with my last name and number so I don’t ever have to buy another jersey again 🙌. I knew this day would come

So the old template that was used from 2020 to 2023 was the Majestic Athletic Flex Base designed that was rolled out in 2016. I think they should have stuck with that template but like you said make small tweaks to it each year. Starting with the new number design. But that is my thought, let me know what you think

I feel like you're right. I have a game used 2019 Twins jersey and I was comparing that jersey to a 2022 jersey that someone owned from a video that Brodie made a few days ago. In my opinion, the jerseys look similar. I do agree that they should have made small tweaks each year. My question is though if the players wore these similar uniforms for the all star game in Seattle, what's the issue now???

I have a knockoff Pat Burrell jersey I bought for maybe $30. The name and number on the back are the wrong font but it still looks better than these new things.

Hey Manfred! Al-Star Game Player feedback has ZERO bearing on the fact that A’s and Dodger Wedding Gown White are now the same garbage off-white identical to every other team. These colours are as much a part of those two teams kits as the Dodger Blue or the A’s Green & Gold. What a cheapskate move.

The NBA tried to switch to those tight shirt-like jerseys a few years ago but the players complained and we never saw them again. Hopefully MLB will listen, but I have a feeling they won't.

8:00 lol clever Brodie

My guess what will happen is the players will get a new jersey they want and that version wont be sold to the fans similarly to the on field NewEra hats. The players in the MLB get NewEra caps that are still made in Buffalo while the fans get the Chinese mass produced crap. I have a Yankees hat that was probably from around the time when they switched from wool ones made in the US to being 100% polyester and made in China. I have gotten hats since the change and it is vast. I have a NewEra wool Brooklyn Dodgers hat that is made in China and it leaves divots in my forehead because it is was assembled so poorly.

A few years ago I went to a sketchy website and bought a suspiciously cheap “authentic” jersey that shipped from China that is better quality than these.

Maybe they’ll bring back the 1970’s pull-over jerseys

Bootlegs are looking way better, with better materials, embroidery & stitch work. The low tier Nike jersey is still double the cost of a bootleg on eBay & the Nike low tier is made with cheaper material. Not a single stitch or embroidered emblem on the cheapest Nike jersey, nothing but heat pressed, make that make sense.

I mean, look at one of the first few pictures and the sleeves on Ottavino’s jersey. They should not ripple and curl over like that!!

Again, my UK eyes this is perplexing to me. Here our football teams jealousy protect their tops each and every year. We have two tiers a Pro tier at £120-£150 a shirt and a more value Stadium (or other brand name) level at £55-70. With offerings coming direct from the Suppliers. I see a way around this, a Pro level manufactured from Nike by Nike. A mid level with Nike blanks and fabrics, manufactured from Fanatics and a lower level that’s completely Fanatics. It may just need an element more of nuance in it. The thing I find it hard to get my UK/EU brain around is how all teams in the leagues of MLB/NFL/NBA all have the the same brand. Here an Adidas contract at Man United is for talking sakes £120m a year and Liverpool with Nike is £100m theoretically. Why have teams sacrificed a financial advantage over their opponents? Why can’t teams have their own distinct manufacturer for their own deal? I thought the USA was all about money, or is it a way to prevent competition? My UK mind is wondering about that.

If I am buying a jersey I will spend the extra money to get the authentic one. NHL and Adidas did a great job with jerseys last few years, by changing to fanatics I am not sure if Ill buy one unless they are of same quality which i fear they wont be, shame

Making the uniforms better (lighter and breathable) for the players isn't a great idea ?

Something will only change if players speak up and the union gets involved. MLB doesn’t care what fans think as long as they’re making enough money. Manfred is such a disgusting hack, him telling us to wait and see is an old tactic that eventually ends with people accepting things the way they are even though they suck. People said the same things about ads on uniforms too: “oh it’s a small change bro stop being upset you’ll get used to it” nah it still sucks and opening that Pandora’s box leads to stuff like this.

either they reduce prices on jerseys or if they charging premium for a" good "quality one at least it has to be 100% stitched. never been a big fan of heat pressed b. s. and the overpriced amount for it

It's literally going to work it's self out. Fans will not purchase jerseys this year. Big corps only act when it hits their wallets and boy sales will be way down this year.

My 2021 replica is more AUTHENTIC than the new authentic. My 2013 replica is better than ALL Nike jerseys. Put the MLB logo back, make team logo's patches, and keep the old numbers/names set up. Majestic FTW.

They screwed up NBA jerseys too. I remember LeBron James’ jersey completely ripping during a game once.

I put eyes and hands on these the other day in the New Era store at Citizens Bank Park. The authentic jersey is actually of less quality than my replica jerseys from last year. Absolute garbage. And they are selling them for MORE MONEY. Consumer products aside, the on-field jersey should adhere to a strict level of quality.

I guess they will change the jersey again. NBA only let the new Nike last a a few seasons before they revamped the jersey that’s why they don’t rip as easy anymore.

Its funny that everyone is blaming Manfred. He works for the owners! Blame the owners!

Bring back Majestic!

Regardless of teirs in jerseys, the jersey are all overpriced. Now they used the price and made it worse. But to American fans out there, I don't know how much an Authentic costs in the USA, but in Canada the price of some Authentics is $450. That is absolutely unjustifiable.
