Major League Baseball has unveiled the cap designs for the 2016 MLB All-Star Game, as well as the jersey and cap designs for the All-Star Workout Day and Home Run Derby.
The All-Star Game caps will feature a gold outline around the team logo, gold metal stars around the eyelets on the front panel, and gray brims. On the reverse, a pair of stars will flank the MLB logo, as will be the case on the back of the player jerseys. Each jersey also will feature the player’s signature on the front at the bottom right, with an ASG patch appearing on the sleeve. Jerseys otherwise will match each player’s regular uniform, with American League players wearing their home jersey and the National League wearing road jerseys despite playing in an NL ballpark, San Diego’s Petco Park.
The Workout Day caps and jerseys will have an orange, brown, and yellow theme that pays homage to the Padres uniforms of the 1970s and ’80s. The caps will be brown with a white front panel, featuring the team name in orange retro lettering, and a yellow brim. The NL jerseys will be primarily brown with yellow along the edges and sleeves, with the colors reversed for the AL.
Previews of the uniform designs were made available via a series of tweets:
