ASG should be the regular jerseys.

MLB HQ rivals the last two decades of the Soviet Union in illustrating why centralized decision making is a bad idea.

Voting laws were obviously not on the table when making this decision

All about merchandising and designing something the younger demographic will buy. Never mind if it looks like shite and is a bad idea.

The 2 button makes them look like practice jerseys. The no button 80s era jerseys look great if done right (usually with triple striping on the collar and sleeves) but 2 button always looks like a damn practice pullover.

Might be for the Monday festivities. Usually they wear their own team uniforms in game

They do usually wear their regular jerseys for the game and something like this for the derby or for practice, but this year, for some absurd reason, they are going to wear these hideous jerseys during the actual game.

Terrible. They just cannot get it right. Move the game back to Atlanta and play with YOUR team jerseys.

There was a game a few years ago they wore generic all-star jerseys as well, which year was that


Nevermind:

Because baseball doesn't need to differentiate who's on which team nearly as much as other team sports, players at the All-Star Game have simply worn their regular jersey pretty much every year. It makes for an interesting blend of colors and logos.
This year, however, things will look a little bit different. MLB is standardizing uniform colors across both teams, with the National League in bright whites and their American League counterparts in a navy blue. Players' regular teams will be represented by block letters and individual logos. The uniforms, designed by Nike, will also feature dark caps with individual team logos on them.

Uh, 1933?

ETA: The NL wore special uniforms that year, the AL didn't. That was the last time it has happened.

Lots of MLB All-Star game uniform info here: Uni Watch

The best part is Reggie Jackson wearing a Mariners jersey for the 1979 AL team photo because his Yankees jersey didn't arrive in time.



A lot of instances of players using batting helmets from the wrong team.



And one time Pete Rose wore his batting practice jersey... before most teams even had batting practice jerseys.

Also, Samardzija was traded from the NL to the AL after being selected in 2014. He wasn't eligible to play in the game and was repping the NL even though he was currently in the AL, so he just wore his NL practice jersey for the roster announcements and such.
