The 94th Annual Major League Baseball All-Star Game is now in the rearview mirror, and let’s be honest one thing that was abundantly clear from the contest is this: people HATE the All-Star Game uniforms.

For years, decades even, the All-Star Game was about the pageantry of seeing some of the best to play the game at that given moment come together to partake in a clash of Titans sort-a-speak, and fans would get a chance to see every single team represented.  Long before the infusion of interleague play, it was very rare to see players from the opposing leagues next to one another on the same field at the same time.

Take this shot of Tim Raines in a Montreal Expos uniform standing next to Mark McGuire in an Oakland A’s uniform as an example.

 

There was something cool about seeing your a player on your favorite team go up against players from the opposing league. It was something you didn’t always see — even in the early days of Interleague play.

That changed dramatically in 2021 when baseball introduced the location themed uniforms that you saw last night in Seattle. The reaction has been very polarizing. Here a few below!

Even with the National League winning 3-2 off a home run by Colorado’s Elias Diaz, you wouldn’t have known he was a member of the Colorado Rockies and became the first Colorado player to win the All Star MVP unless someone told you. Guess the All-Star Game — like interleague play — is getting a little stale.

The 2023 mid-summer classic takes over Seattle, Washington this year. That’s right, we’re talking about the MLB All-Star Game. The All-Star game is set to take place on Tuesday, July 11. So, we’re celebrating a bit early by taking a look at the official MLB All-Star game merch.

This year’s game will be taking place in Seattle. The pacific northwest is home to arguably one of the nicest ballparks in baseball, and one of the brightest young stars in the game with Julio Rodríguez. Even though the official All-Star game is on the 11th, Rodríguez will participate in the Home Run Derby on Monday, July 10, which takes place in his home park.  

Another Washington-specific thing to note about this year’s game is that Corbin Carroll, of the Arizona Diamondbacks, is from the Seattle area. Carroll was just named as the starting first baseman for the National League All-Stars.

For the first time since 2001, Seattle’s T-Mobile Park is hosting the All-Star festivities. This year’s uniforms are a bit unique too. The players will be sporting uniform designs that both represent the city and new technology. The jerseys feature a print that blends elements of Seattle’s neighboring ocean, forests, topography, and movement of air. They will also have flashes of the Mariners’ typical color schemes. As for the uniform material, they are made of Nike DriFit technology.

From Ken Griffey Jr. to Ichiro Suzuki to Randy Johnson to Alex Rodriguez, the Mariners have had their fair share of great all-star players. It is expected that some Seattle legends will be on-hand. 

Other mega-stars appearing this year are Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout of the Angels. Ronald Acuña Jr of the Braves. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts of the Dodgers are just some big names set to appear.  

The merchandise and gear for this All-Star game in Seattle is unique. It features many custom elements with a look that’s great for the summer. Plus, some of the most exciting players representing numerous countries are part of the 2023 games. The MLB All-Star game is the definition of summer. So, without further ado here are some of our top picks from the official MLB All-Star game merch.
