Nike and Major League Baseball have been criticized for this year's new baseball jerseys due to their “cheap” look.

That's what pitchers Rich Hill and Miles Mikolas said about the uniforms, even though other players tout their stretch and lightweight feel.

However, a recent photo may have revealed that the shirt's pants are too light.

Nike's new Vapor Premier uniforms for the 2024 MLB season were recently revealed as pitchers and catchers reported for spring training.

Casey Schmitt of the San Francisco Giants modeled the jerseys during the team's recent photo shoot day, but he apparently modeled something else.

Other photos have shown shirts clearly tucked in thanks to slim-looking pants, and in Schmitt's photo, he accidentally revealed too much.

The photo went viral amid concerns about the shirts since the beginning of the month.

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 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.
