Major League Baseball announced a significant change on Monday, returning to the tradition of players wearing their team’s home and road uniforms for the All-Star Game, a practice that had been in place from 1930 to 2019.

Additionally, team uniforms will see updates for the All-Star Game, including customizable pants, larger lettering, and the return to materials requested by players. MLB, Nike, Fanatics, and the Players Association finalized these changes recently, with full implementation planned by the 2026 season.
MLB also responded to player feedback regarding the controversial Fanatics jerseys, leading to improvements such as larger letters on the back, embroidered sleeve patches, and the ability to customize pants. By 2026, the fabric used for uniforms will return to the specifications used during the 2023 season.
