MLB Hologram Type

[mrjohnmalton]

i read "only" literally. the older rectangular holograms should still at least have the MLB logo on them.

Yeah, the MLB logo is featured in the hologram portion of the sticker. The codes are just printed over top of it. I would assume that the QR codes that are featured now are for easier system input, and perhaps an extra security measure. The codes seem to be printed in a finer font now too. Apparently the Reds came across a roll or two of the older stickers.

I was told they changed back to a small circle hologram late last (2016) season when I questioned why the holo's are back to the old format. I don't think they're old stock as they look slightly different then the earlier ones if I recall, the printing is different (the type on the old ones scratched off very easily).
