MLB unveils 2023 All-Star Game jerseys
The MLB All-Star Game is coming quickly, and with that has come the release of the special jerseys that will be worn by both the American League and National League during the game.
With the All-Star Game being held in Seattle, the jerseys are designed to pay homage to the host Mariners. Check them out, here:
The American League is going to be wearing Northwest green, which is one of Seattle’s primary colors. Meanwhile, the National League will be wearing another primary color for the Mariners, navy blue. Another nice nod to the Mariners is the ‘O’ in the words ‘American’ and ‘National,’ which include an aspect of the team’s logo in them.
The jerseys themselves aren’t solid colors with shades blending in a print that is designed to show Seattle’s “neighboring ocean, forests, topography and the movement of air.” On the left sleeve, there is an MLB All-Star Game patch.
Nike is making the uniforms. They will be using new uniform technology in these jerseys too. It’s called Nike Vapor Premier and is designed to improve mobility, moisture management, and fit. Going forward, MLB plans on using this material in uniforms.
New Era will be making the caps while Stance is going to be in charge of the game socks.
