Phillies players wait to have their picture taken during a spring training photo day last month in Clearwater, Fla. Major League Baseball’s new uniforms, designed by Nike and manufactured by Fanatics, have been criticized by players for pants that are somewhat see through and for lettering, sleeve emblems and numbering that are less bulky and apparently smaller.

Baseball is embroiled in a uniform controversy of Biblical proportions, which I suppose explains all the rending of garments.

According to the Major League Baseball Players Association, MLB's new uniforms are too thin. Especially the somewhat see-through pants.
