Nike’s MLB uniform fiasco continues with mismatched colors

I’ve written a number of times here about MLB’s new uniforms, made by Nike and Fanatics, most notably here. Among issues with the Cubs jerseys alone are: names that are impossible to read (made worse Thursday when the Cubs wore the blue alternates), and the blue color isn’t Cubs blue, as shown on the photo comparison in that linked article.

Now there’s another issue, as pointed out by Paul Lukas at Uni Watch, in regard to the Cardinals road gray uniforms — the jersey color and the pants color don’t match. You can see that clearly in the screenshot above from SNY’s broadcast of the Cardinals/Mets game Wednesday.
