PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — MLB's new uniform reveal hasn't gone very well. Now some of the rampant criticism has moved below the belt.

Major League Baseball Players Association deputy executive director Bruce Meyer confirmed on Thursday that the organization is relaying concerns from players to MLB about the new pants, which are somewhat see-through. The complaints — first reported by ESPN — are part of broader scorn for the new uniforms, which are designed by Nike and manufactured by Fanatics.

...designed by Nike and manufactured by Fanatics...

No further explanation needed. MLB got what it paid for.

The Aussie Rugby enthusiasts are right. USA pro ball players are gay and getting gayer.

I believe it was Chris Sale who came up with the solution to uniforms that players are unhappy with: https://sports.yahoo.com/news/the-unreal-story-of-chris-sale-cutting-up-his-white-sox-uniform-041326686.html

Maybe the Giants should do bottomless pants like in that 80s Ryan Oneal movie.

A lot of clothing becomes peek-a-boo under the bright lights of paparazzi flash bulbs. Just ask John Kerry's daughter.

No surprise. Fanatics is low quality garbage.
