It seems like see-through pants are the last straw for MLB players regarding their new uniforms.
Nike and Major League Baseball have received criticism for this year's new baseball jerseys due to their “cheap” look – that's what pitchers Rich Hill and Miles Mikolas said of the uniforms, even though other players tout their stretchiness and light feel.
His feelings seemed legitimate when photos surfaced of tucked-in T-shirts clearly visible through white pants. Furthermore, when Casey Schmitt of the San Francisco Giants had his photo shoot, his nether region was clearly visible.

Now, players are going to the MLBPA in hopes of a trade before Opening Day on March 28.
“It's disappointing that we've landed in a place where uniforms are the topic of discussion,” MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said Thursday, via ESPN. “Every conversation with the guys sheds more information on what we're seeing.”

MLB'S RECENT UNIFORM CHANGE IS COMPARED TO THIS CLASSIC 'SEINFELD' SCENE
“A lot of the rhetoric is confirmation that pants are see-through,” Clark added, stating that pants are a “universal concern.”
“It's been an ongoing conversation where every day something new has come up that doesn't seem to make as much sense as we'd like.”
The last names on the back of the jerseys appear noticeably smaller, leading most fans to complain about them. However, MLB senior vice president of global consumer products Denis Nolan maintained that the the uniforms are top notch.
“By acquiring Majestic and its MLB uniform manufacturing facility in Easton, PA, which has been manufacturing player uniforms for nearly two decades, Fanatics has consistently produced world-class uniforms, including all MLB field jerseys with the Nike brand and all the city jerseys. Connect team from 2020,” Nolan said, via MLB.com.
The league tested the uniforms on hundreds of players, debuting them at last year's All-Star Game to rave reviews. In fact, fans measured each player last year and Nike scanned the bodies of more than 300 players to get the ideal fit.
