A Close Look at Yesterday’s MLB Mother’s Day Uniforms

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great Ma’s Day weekend and that you’re excited (as I am!) for Purple Amnesty Day, which will take place tomorrow. I’ll have more to say about that later in this post, but first let’s look at yesterday’s MLB holiday gear. Obviously, everyone wore the pink-trimmed caps and the pink jersey ribbons, as seen above. Other uni-notable details included the following:

• Many players wore assorted pink accessories, including batting gloves, sliding gloves, wristbands, compression sleeves, belts, shoes, and probably a few other things I’m overlooking:

• Many players who went high-cuffed wore pink holiday socks (although some high-cuffers just wore standard non-holiday socks):

• Many players stepped up to the plate with pink bats, and those bats had little “hands making a heart” symbols on the knob:

• Some players wore pink eye “black”:

• Many catchers wore pink masks and chest protectors:

• Just like last year, the Brewers used grey batting helmets (apparently the closest available color match for the khaki caps) with a pink-trimmed team logo that matched the one on the caps. Since the caps have a side logo this year, the Brewers added a corresponding side decal to the helmets:

• The Brewers also added a pink team logo to the back of the mound:

• The Mets and Nats began the day by finishing a game that had been suspended the day before in the third inning, and then they played their regularly scheduled game. They wore the Ma’s Day gear for both games. The Mets wore their standard road greys for both games, but the Nats wore their home whites for the completion of the suspended game and then switched to their CC jerseys for the regularly scheduled game, making them the only team to wear the Ma’s Day gear in two different uni combos:

• The addition of the pink ribbon left Royals catcher/captain Salvador Pérez with a very cluttered jersey chest:

• Most (but not all) plate umps wore pink masks, and they even had pink pens:

Are there any other pink details I’m overlooking?
