Major League Baseball is limiting teams to five uniform styles this year, but the Red Sox are reportedly receiving an exemption, and for good reason.
In an effort to streamline uniforms, Nike, the league’s official uniform provider since 2020, is implementing a “Four Plus One” plan: four sets of uniforms plus their City Connect set. Several teams will have to eliminate one or more style; the Mariners have already cut their road greys and spring training powder blues.
Brendan Campbell of Blogging the Red Sox was first to report that the restrictions won’t prevent the Sox from some important local traditions. MassLive’s Chris Cotillo confirmed.
