I'm warning you right now before we even get into this. Go get a garbage can, a giant bowl, or post up near a toilet. You might need it after looking at this abomination that was released from Nike and Fanatics for 2024. I'm sorry Mariners fans, but you are going to want nothing to do with this year's iteration of jersey.
Last year vs this year’s replica jersey offerings from the fine folks at MLB, Nike & Fanatics. Last year’s being on the left and this year’s on the right.

I have a lot to say, so bear with me here.
Let’s just rip the bandaid off right away with this year’s new jersey offerings pic.twitter.com/3IShhlj0nL
There is no doubt about it. The jersey on the right should immeadiately be pulled from the shelves. The fact that a major league team is selling that, and that it is done via Nike and Fanatics, two MAJOR manufacturers that should know better, is gross. Expecting fans to pay money, and good money, for that joke of a jersey is an insult.
The 2024 uniforms by Nike (and Fanatics) are disgusting
If you can, head out there and try and buy last year's version. You would be getting a superior product at a cheaper price than the disgusting version that is being put out this year. You may be thinking "Hey, these are only the replica ones, right? The on-field ones have to be better."
Right? RIGHT?
Sorry, you would be wrong there as well. The on-field jerseys are gross. Every team is going through it. Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas mentioned that players are unhappy, they don't fit right, pants aren't as customized, and the fabric is a different consistency. Another player mentioned that they look cheap.
Was George Costanza in charge of this decision or something?
Check out the on-field jerseys that are going to be worn.
I officially feel seen after my thread on Replica Comparison Jerseys. If you took time to read/like/add thoughts, Simply, thank you.

Here’s a look at the authentic the players will wear this year. Not much better. Sorry. 😢🙁

Are you kidding me? I create better jersey's in MLB the Show spending 5 minutes just trying to quickly do it. They literally could've pulled the top voted jersey creations off of that game and got better results. You could've paid by 8-year-old $10 and gotten better results than this.
Please, Mariners' fans, do not buy these. It's not the Mariners fault, as it's a bigger deal and one that all teams are facing stemming from Nike and Fanatics. Do not buy these. Go buy something else. Go buy a knockoff Etsy jersey. Buy one from overseas. There are tons of options better than this, and it's embarrassing for baseball to have something like this out there.
