With baseball season in full swing, players and fans alike have been criticizing the new MLB uniforms — but the players' union said this week that a makeover of the makeover is in the works.
The much-maligned Nike Vapor Premier uniforms were originally engineered to improve mobility, moisture management and fit.
But players and fans alike cried foul over the new uniforms, complaining about smaller letter sizes for players’ nameplates on jerseys to fabric that's more prone to rips and tears.
And some fans have pointed out that the pants are see-through.
The Major League Baseball Players Association isn't letting it slide. The union said Sunday in a memo, seen by NBC News, that change is coming.
