Ehhh not good. I was a fan of Majestic and the fact they honored the traditional baseball uniforms designs for the most part. Yes the Cool Flo jerseys are crap but the players like them, and that's all that matters.

Under Armor are Nike lite, half the experience and just as crappy garbage designs.

Oh well, money talks...

I wasn't even done being annoyed about New Era slapping their stupid logo on the caps yet. It's all about the money.

Whatever happened to the good old days, when MLB uniforms were made by quality traditional suppliers like Wilson, Rawlings and Spalding? I miss those days, but, as we all know, money talks.

My first assumption in reading the article was not to do with Under Armour but Fanatics. Their inclusion in the deal makes me think that soon the days of the teams selling their game worn/used items to fans direct will be gone and Fanatics will be the only MLB source for game worn/used items. Think Steiner, but on a league-wide level . . . 2020 is probably enough of a window for any exclusive game used memorabilia contracts to expire that various teams have.

Just a thought.

Maybe not. They may be made here.

Also it an MLB rule that players caps and jerseys must be made in the USA.

right, but the great part about majestic is that there is no difference between the retail authentic and what they wear, wonder if that changes...
