When MLB's new Nike-designed, Fanatics-made uniform tops were first seen earlier this month, it triggered a significant backlash from fans and players.

The pants might be even worse.

As spring training games begin and official photos are taken, it has become clear that Fanatics went with a thinner material for its pants, which is an issue when those pants are white. The pants are almost see-through, to the point that you can see the tucked-in shirt hems and even the players' compression shorts.

The material can also show the outline of, well, things that should not be shown in a family-friendly environment.
