MOTHER’S DAY: SUNDAY, MAY 12
During games on Mother’s Day Sunday, players will wear newly designed caps with pink accents on the team logos and cap brims. A matching pair of pink socks is optional for every player. While there won’t be specialty jerseys for this holiday, each jersey will have a pink ribbon on the left chest.
ARMED FORCES DAY: SATURDAY, MAY 18
MLB plans to honor military members and their families throughout the weekend of Armed Forces Day, which is annually celebrated on the third Saturday of May. On this weekend, MLB players and Club personnel will wear camouflage-designed caps with their uniforms, as well as optional camo-themed socks. A jersey patch featuring the stars & stripes silhouetted batter will be placed on the left chest. The right side of the caps feature a five-starred emblem to represent the five branches of the U.S military. The Toronto Blue Jays will wear a badge with four maple leafs on the right side of their caps to demonstrate respect for the Canadian Armed Forces.
FATHER’S DAY: SUNDAY, JUNE 16
Father’s Day uniforms will follow a similar pattern to the Mother’s Day uniforms. A light blue ribbon will be placed on the left chest of regular team jerseys, while New Era designed a new cap with light blue crowns to accent team colors on the brim and logo. Players also have the option of wearing light blue socks.
INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND: THURSDAY, JULY 4 – SUNDAY, JULY 7
New this year though is that all 30 Clubs will wear one of their historic team’s logos on the front of caps, while the sides feature their respective American or National League logos. Players also have the option of wearing socks with a fireworks design, while a stars & stripes patch will adorn home and road jerseys during games on July 4. The Toronto Blue Jays will sport their red alternate jerseys with red Maple Leaf caps on Canada Day – July 1.
ALL-STAR FUTURES GAME/ALL-STAR WORKOUT DAY: SUNDAY, JULY 7 & MONDAY, JULY 8
The jerseys, caps, and socks that top prospects will wear for the 2019 All-Star Futures Game and that MLB All-Stars will wear on All-Star Workout Day, celebrate the host city of Cleveland. For the first time since the 2000 Home Run Derby, players will sport a sleeveless, vest-styled jersey in navy or red, depending on league affiliation. The caps are dark grey with two baseball bats crossed on the front of the crown and team logo centered above, while the socks illustrate a concert with all MLB cities listed on the back in the style of a musical act’s tour shirt.
ALL-STAR GAME: TUESDAY, JULY 9
This year’s caps are team-colored and feature two silver stars, one on either side of the team logo on the cap fronts. A patch of the primary All-Star Game logo will adorn the right sleeve of all game jerseys and a star-shaped patch representing a player’s number of All-Star appearances will be placed on the left sleeve. The All-Star Game socks by Stance highlight the navy, white and red base colors of the host Cleveland Indians with a unique ASG wordmark across the back.
