Have you ever watched a Boston Red Sox game and wished that the players could let more of their personalities shine through? They will soon get the chance, at least temporarily.
Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association announced jointly on Wednesday that players will be allowed to take certain liberties with their attire during games played from Friday, Aug. 25 through Sunday, Aug. 27.
During this Players Weekend, teams will sport non-traditional jerseys made by Majestic with nicknames on the back in place of the player’s last name. They will also have the freedom to wear uniquely colored spikes, batting gloves, wrist bands, compression sleeves, catcher’s masks and bats.
