MLB Players’ Weekend has returned this season, and will take place from August 23-25. While players will be permitted to have nicknames on the back of their jerseys, they apparently won’t be allowed to wear any color, with every team wearing either all-black or all-white – a departure from prior years.
The monochromatic jerseys are intended to make any accessories, which players will be allowed to customize, stand out more than ever. If they choose, a patch honoring late Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs will be available for players to wear on their uniforms.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone has dubbed his team “savages,” but his players will be sporting other nicknames against the Dodgers.
