Btw this issue is not just an MLB thing either. In the Japanese baseball league (NPB), teams have their own uniform suppliers and there are 3 teams that have Fanatics create their jerseys. They have also taken a noticeable hit in jersey quality as well. Yomiuri Giants (Nike/Fanatics), Seibu Lions (Fanatics) and Yakult Swallows (Majestic/Fanatics). Swallows are the only ones with decent quality jerseys but thats most likely because they are going through Majestic and not Nike or straight Fanatics.

Y’know, all I can think of when I hear about the transparency of the jerseys is the stereotypical trope you see in shoujo manga or whatever where the love interest offers the main heroine their umbrella after a rainy school day and the heroine is gushing over how you can see their skin because of the white uniform getting wet 😭😭 not usually what I think of when at a ballgame but alright. to each their own

Textile scientist here. When they say breathable, theres two ways to do that. Better materials or thinner.
Its possible they switched to a new material and it doesn't hold up to stitching as well. Its also possible that the mlb samples hadn't been washed which would show the issues.
Its also possible that fanatics sales rep wowed them with technobabble, then found the cheapest way to produce everything.
Ultimately, these look terrible and i feel bad for those baseball boys

This is atrocious. You'd think there HAS to be a way for them to say no to this. How is it okay to tell them they have to wear see-through pants?! That has to be violating some sort of rights doesn't it? Yikes. I kinda hope they all just agree to wear last year's pants and tell these companies they will not put their junk on display for America. I mean the jerseys are awful but the pants are another level of "oh my god". You are right though, its very possible we just have to wait for someone to "take one for the team" and wear them on a rainy day with no underwear before something changes.
Also: Seeing a lot of thirsty "Ooh I wanna see where do I find these pics, I'm gonna start watching baseball!" comments and ew. Come on ladies you wouldn't be happy about it if this was happening to women. Don't be a hypocrite, we're better than that. Let's not fetishize all these guys, they're clearly not happy with the situation either

So I worked in a fabric store as a manager and ordered fabric from mills. I also worked in production sewing. MY GUESS?
They changed factories for production to a cheaper production cost. Inexperience is where the sewing issues stem from. OR it's the same factory and the new material is not easy sew on to--it slides and shreds when sewn. A lot of performance style fabrics are knits that would shred under the multiple piercings of the fiber during embroidery and would be distorted by the kind of sizing/facing that would protect the fabric. There are probably even variances by color as color dyes can effect the yarn of the fabric. I kind of favor this second explanation because it really explains ALL of the issues.
The pants fabric is that same order order of named/color material, but the manufacture of material changed. (If they changed factories, very common to find a new source for the same material due to logistics.) It may be the yarn the fabric is made of changed in some way. This is a frequent problem with production sewing. Each mill will not produce the same fabric even if it's call called ponte or sateen, it will vary production run to production run of yardage, you get the idea.

As a hobby sewist my guess is the new company’s pitch went “we can get you the same xyz fabric blend you’re used to from this factory but for cheaper” but not all places do the same blend, ie they might all call it “jersey knit” but what might be a 10% cotton 10% rayon and 80% acrylic blend from one place under that name is now a 5% cotton, 30% rayon and 65% acrylic and it’s become maybe become way thinner, more slippery and shreds more easily. (Material names and blend percentages are just made up to prove a point). It’s basically just corporate BS and the people who know materials are probably spoken over to keep profits high and this is how they can say, “oh it’s the same material as last year” but when you break it down it’s not really.
Like I don’t agree with but understand cheaping out on fan merch, a shitty practice but common, but these are literal athletes being paid big bucks to perform for people’s entertainment and to be profited off of, it’s wild to see them with badly kerned, small and hard to read names, numbers sloppily placed and see-through pants! As someone who played baseball I’d definitely be a bit nervous to slide in those, and are they really saving money if the jerseys are trash after a single game due to their lower quality? I hope someone pulls a stunt. It’s just really gross to see entities with huge profits do stuff like this and then try to gaslight people.
