Major League Baseball released images of the uniforms players will wear in the 2023 All-Star Game that will played at T-Mobile Park.
Per the press release, the uniform “celebrates Seattle’s unique position as a beacon of nature, groundbreaking technology and cultural progress to inspire the next generation of diamond athletes. The Nike MLB 2023 All-Star Game Jersey honors the region’s natural beauty with a print that blends elements of its neighboring ocean, forests, topography and the movement of air. Nature also informs the base colors of the jersey — the American League jersey (Home) boasts light teal hues while the National League (Away) jersey sports dark navy hues.”
Yes, teal, not Northwest green.
In 2021, as part of an apparel deal reached with Nike, Major League Baseball started having uniforms specifically made for the actual All-Star Game. In years prior, players would wear the All-Star uniforms for the Monday workout and Home Run Derby but then wear their team’s uniforms in the Tuesday game.
The uniforms will be more form-fitting than previous variations and will feature Nike’s Vapor premier fabric, which it calls its latest uniform innovation that maximizes mobility, moisture management and fit while keeping sustainability in mind.
This new “chassis” will be used in all of MLB’s uniforms in 2024.
Working with MLB and Nike, Stance and New Era designed the socks and caps, respectively.
“When we first partnered with Nike, this is exactly what we endeavored to do together — create the most innovative uniform in sports with the most unique designs that would invigorate fans bases and help reach new fans,” said MLB Chief Revenue Officer Noah Garden in a press release. “These All-Star uniforms are the culmination of years of collaboration with Nike and athletes. Our partners at New Era and Stance have been just as dedicated and thoughtful in completing these looks, too. I can’t wait to see it all come together in Seattle.”
Authentic and replica Nike MLB 2023 All-Star Game jerseys, in addition to All-Star caps from New Era and socks from Stance, are now available for purchase at MLBShop.com, Nike.com, Fanatics.com, NewEraCap.com, Stance.com, the MLB Flagship Store in New York City and the Mariners Team Store at T-Mobile Park. During MLB All-Star Week in Seattle, the All-Star jerseys, caps and socks will also be available at Capital One PLAY BALL PARK inside Lumen Field.
