Dodgers unveil Players Weekend uniforms

Major League Baseball on Wednesday announced the Players’ Weekend event, in which they’ll allow players to don their nicknames on the backs of their jerseys. The event will take place starting on August 25th and conclude on August 27th.

The jerseys the teams will be wearing won’t be the traditional looks as each team has their own unique apparel.

Also, on the player’s sleeve, there will be a blank square sewn in for the player to fill with the name of a teammate, coach, or someone special in their life that was important to his development.

The weekend is a chance for players to let a little bit of their personalities come to the surface and have fun in a different way.

Among the Dodgers’ nicknames, Corey Seager is the one that will simply have his last name across the back. I guess the team leader in WAR gets a pass.

Corey’s older brother, Kyle, gets the best nickname with this beauty.

Here is a list of all the Dodger nicknames:

Easily the best jerseys will be Hyun-jin Ryu with “Monster” and Ross Stripling with “Chicken Strip.” Chase Utley going with “Silver Fox” is only surprising because he is the type to be the boring one instead of Seager.

Rich Hill (Brice) and Austin Barnes (Sam) are the most obscure of the bunch.

It should be a fun weekend seeing some of the characters around the game.
