Players' Weekend
Welcome to Players' Weekend!
Players' Weekend is a players focused event to showcase player personalities. During this weekend series (August 24-26), MLB players will be wearing colorful, non-traditional uniforms featuring alternate designs inspired by youth league uniforms, and donning a nickname placed on the back of the jerseys. Players will also be wearing specially designed caps by New Era, and socks from Stance.
All Players' Weekend jerseys and hats can be purchased online at MLBShop.com.
Fans attending any MLB game that weekend can also use the MLB Ballpark app and check-in to be entered to win a Players' Weekend hat of their choice.
Game-worn, Players' Weekend jerseys will be auctioned at MLB.com/auctions with 100% of net proceeds donated to the MLB-MLBPA Youth Development Foundation, a joint effort established in July 2015 by MLB and the MLBPA with an initial commitment of $30 million focused on improving the caliber, effectiveness and availability of amateur baseball and softball programs across the United States and Canada.
Additionally, the right sleeve of each player's jersey will feature a patch with a blank space for him to write the name of a person or organization that was instrumental to his development. The patch features a new logo that shows a progression of five players increasing in size to demonstrate the process of a player's path from Little League and youth leagues to Major League Baseball.
