Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin Addresses The MLB’s New See-Through Uniform Controversy

The MLB has faced major backlash for its new see-through uniforms made by the Fanatics company. Fans have pointed out the smaller letters for the players’ names on the back of their shirts and pants that look transparent.

In photos posted to X, users show examples where the players’ shirts are visibly tucked in the see-through pants.

Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin responded to the controversy, saying his company followed instructions from Nike, who designed the new uniforms.

“We’ve purely been doing exactly as we’re told. We’ve been told we’ve done exactly right and we’re getting the s— kicked out of ourselves every day right now,” Rubin told The Athletic.

Rubin did acknowledge that the uniforms did not receive enough player approval before going through with the changes. He also believes people will come to accept the new uniforms and see them as an improvement.

“Everyone hates them,” Philadelphia Phillies infielder Trea Turner told the reporters.
