I was running low on things to complain about. Thank you for bringing this to my attention

Doesn't matter as much for baseball, but for contact sports like football you can argue its a safety concern. Matte finishes tend to be more sticky during collisions, while glossier finishes deflect or slide off contact a lot more. Basically what that means is matte could result in more head injuries.

Tell that to nearly every MLB team. Matte helmets were "in" like 15 years ago

I forgot that MLB players had a choice of who they play for outside of free agency

i think the matte looks fine, and, it actually appears better looking after months of pine tar being splattered on them.

Well, I like it so it negates your dislike
