    MLB is going home again for the All-Star Game.

    The league announced a pair of changes for uniforms over the next two seasons, one of which being a return to players wearing their home and away kits for the All-Star Game, beginning in 2025.

    Not that All-Star jerseys will be a thing of the past entirely, though.

    Players will wear special All-Star uniforms for their workout day, and those not participating in the Home Run Derby will don the getup for the event.

    MLB said it is also working with New Era to design a hat specifically for the Midsummer Classic.

    The league also announced it collaborated with Nike, Fanatics and the MLB players’ association to solve the myriad problems the league faced at the beginning of the season.

    Beginning in 2025 — and fully implemented by 2026 — there will be customization for pants, increasing lettering size and a return to the previously used materials.

    This comes on the heels of players and fans complaining about the revamped uniforms this season, which included see-through pants , mismatched gray sets, small letters on nameplates and a propensity to rip — all of which were noted in a league-wide survey conducted by the MLPBA.

    New Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani’s pants seemed to be see-through as criticism of Nike and Fanatics’ new MLB jerseys grows.

    MLB sent out a memo to players in April, blaming the issue on “entirely on” Nike , writing that “what has happened here is that Nike was innovating something that didn’t need to be innovated.”

    Nike designed the uniforms, though they were manufactured by Fanatics, which bore the brunt of the early blowback.

    “We’ve purely been doing exactly as we’re told — we’ve been told we’ve done everything exactly right — and we’re getting the s–t kicked out of ourselves every day right now,” Fanatics CEO Michael Michael Rubin said in March . “That’s not fun. Normally when I get beat up it’s because I actually did something wrong.”
