The American League triumphed over the National League with a 5-3 victory in the 2024 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night in Texas.
While the game itself was exciting, it left many baseball fans disgruntled due to the controversial uniforms worn by both teams.
Once again, MLB opted for unusual, mismatched uniforms that seemed to lack any coherent theme. These odd color combinations likely didn’t boost jersey sales, which is a probable reason the league continues this practice—to entice fans to purchase new, unique jerseys each year.
The American League players donned tan, orange, and blue uniforms, while the National League sported black, blue, and orange outfits.

Fans watching the game on TV were quick to criticize the apparel, expressing their frustration on social media and calling for MLB to make a simple change—return to having players wear their regular team uniforms for the All-Star Game.
The discontent from fans was palpable, with many reminiscing about the days when players showcased their individual team colors, adding a layer of authenticity and tradition to the midsummer classic.
The uniform controversy overshadowed what was otherwise an entertaining game, highlighting a growing desire among the fanbase for a return to more traditional baseball aesthetics.
