Major League Baseball unveiled on Wednesday uniforms players will wear the weekend of Aug. 25-27, which is “Players Weekend.”
What is “Players Weekend”? Let MLB explain:
Major Leaguers will let their personalities and passions shine like never before when the newly created Players Weekend takes center stage during all games from Friday, Aug. 25, to Sunday, Aug. 27. … Players across all clubs will wear (nicknames) on their backs while sporting colorful, non-traditional uniforms featuring alternate designs inspired by youth-league uniforms.
MLB and the MLB Players Association announced jointly on Wednesday that Players Weekend will be a player-focused field festival of sorts, different than anything seen before at the top rung of the sport.
