MLB's Uniform Woes: From See-Through Pants to Waiver Controversy

The Royals' decision to stick with the old lettering style has sparked a debate about the aesthetics and performance benefits of the new jersey design, which includes lighter fabrication and materials. Nike and MLB defended the changes, but the Royals' insistence on the old lettering highlights the controversy surrounding the new uniforms.
