MLB Players Weekend uniforms are... monochromatic

Your eyes are not deceiving you.

The image at the top of this post is the cap the Cubs will be wearing on Players Weekend, August 23-25, when they host the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field.

And here is the jersey they will wear:

That’s right. White-on-white. The Nats will wear black-on-black.

Why is MLB doing this? From their press release:

Inspired by players’ style choices when they are away from the field, the fashionable monochromatic uniforms allow for each custom accessory design to stand out more than ever before.
