Phillies: Baseball Fans Have Strong Feelings About the 2021 All-Star Game Uniforms

Bryce Harper might be the only member of the Phillies going to the 2021 MLB All-Star Game, but that doesn’t change the fact that we’re going to see a lot of these uniforms over the next few weeks.
In the past, All-Stars have worn their team’s uniform for the game, leading to a mix of stripes and reds and blues – let’s be honest, most of the teams’ colors are red and blue – on the field. It’s special to see a lot of uniforms that otherwise are rarely together on the field.
But like Spider Tack, that isn’t happening this year.
For the first time in the history of the game, these jerseys will actually be worn during the game. In the past, they were worn during the Home Run Derby or the workouts, and of course, available for purchase.

I actually like the caps; the stars are meant to evoke the beautiful mountains of Colorado; if you look closely, each point of the star is a purple mountain (majesty) with a white peak.
The jerseys look cheap and hectic, which is pretty much the polar opposite of how you want something that’s being worn on the national stage to look. The fact that the NL will wear white and the AL will wear navy is clearly due to the fact that the game was originally supposed to be played in Atlanta, Georgia.
Overall, instead of being clean and classic for the first All-Star Game of uniform uniforms, MLB chose mess.
This was my first thought:
This looks like something you'd buy from the sale rack at Macy's that has never been full-priced https://t.co/iCWnZs6qJZ

The rest of Baseball Twitter also had some strong feelings about the uniforms:
These are even worse than I had been led to believe. Hoo boy. pic.twitter.com/4SD0K0w3ks

These are dreadful, and a cool thing about the All-Star Game was everyone wearing their own home or road uniform https://t.co/QgBqlJSnDH

It has come to my attention that the LA Dodgers All-Star uniform just has “LAD” written out on it.

This is the one, lads. pic.twitter.com/UAPxab6gfJ
Players wearing their team uniforms during the All-Star Game was pretty cool, so of course it's gone now. Sigh. https://t.co/wJfslaIGhD

Are the All-Star game uniforms the worst uniforms ever? Someone designed these on purpose for the sole purpose of attacking all that is good and beautiful. pic.twitter.com/nCq2akapwW

One of the more awesome things about the MLB All-Star Game was seeing the uniforms matched up that you typically wouldn’t see during the season.

This is further proof Rob Manfred openly hates the sport he’s in charge of.
I certainly understand why Nike is doing this. Money. But I have always liked seeing players represent their teams with their respective uniforms in the ASG. Bummer.

There are a lot of things that need fixing in MLB, including the All-Star voting process, but the uniforms aren’t one of them. As usual, MLB has its priorities in order.
